Bungalows
1806 Montana Street · Echo Park
David helped organize the acquisition and repositioning of this six-unit California Craftsman community. The property comprised five structures—four separate dwellings and a carport—with 11 bedrooms and seven bathrooms across more than 6,000 square feet of living space.
Its two legally adjacent parcels contained more than 14,000 square feet of land. A thoughtful 2015 renovation preserved the property's bungalow character while creating bright, open interiors designed for contemporary living.

A comprehensive 2023 remodel transformed this Malibu Canyon residence into a modern retreat. The work created an open white kitchen with new appliances and custom cabinetry, flexible living space, expansive windows, and a material palette balancing polished concrete, natural wood, and luxury-vinyl flooring.
The four-bedroom, three-bath home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. A refinished pool and spa frame the open hillside setting within the Las Virgenes Unified School District.
