Director David Ayer’s Los Angeles Home Listed for $2.5 Million

David Ayer, the American filmmaker best known for hits like “Suicide Squad” and “The Fast and The Furious,” has recently listed his stunning modern residence in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood for $2.49 million. Situated in the Elysian Heights area, the house, built in 1902, sits dramatically on a steep hillside and offers breathtaking leaf-filled canyon views, a feature that sets it apart.

Ayer purchased this five-bedroom home in 2017 for $1.67 million. The house spans three levels and covers 3,315 square feet of living space. Inside, it boasts high ceilings, hardwood floors, and designer light fixtures that give it a unique charm. However, the real allure lies in its ample outdoor spaces and scenic views.

The home’s exterior may not be the most visually appealing from the street with its brown-and-beige façade. Yet, once you step through the secured entry gates into the lush courtyard, the atmosphere changes entirely. The interiors feature white walls complemented by cool and neutral hues, with wooden window trims adding warmth and a touch of nature. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen into an L-shaped layout, centered by a three-sided fireplace and a modern, well-equipped kitchen.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a private haven featuring a sitting area, a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. The suite extends to a spacious private patio surrounded by foliage, making it a tranquil retreat. Another bedroom is located on this level, while two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and a compact living/dining area with a kitchenette occupy the lower level.

The house does not lack in outdoor amenities. The rooftop deck is equipped with a built-in BBQ and plenty of space for alfresco dining. The top-floor views are simply stunning. Additionally, the landscaped grounds offer several other inviting spaces, including a pergola-covered dining area in the front courtyard, a chicken coop, vegetable gardens, a sauna, a sports court, and numerous fruit trees.

The location adds to the appeal of this residence. It’s conveniently close to Dodger Stadium and downtown L.A., making it easy to attend events and enjoy shopping. Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman is the listing agent for this extraordinary home.
