And if you have you ever driven by the house on the corner of Third Street and Muirfield Road in Hancock Park – you know, the one with all the replicas of Michelangelo’s statue of David lining the front yard -- and wondered: “Who in the hell lives there?” Well, that’s Youngwood Court -- the home of Norwood Young. LA City Beat Magazine named Young as the “Best Thing in Hancock Park” because his home is “an architectural tribute to beauty, art, glamour, fantasy, flamboyance, and living out loud.” The publication also praises Young for “a refusal to stay silent, to hide one’s talents or one’s love of Michelangelo. A disdain for blending in, for conforming … .” Young was featured on the cover of the September 25, 2008 issue (Volume 6/Number 39) of LA City Beat Magazine.
“Youngwood Court” is part of LA’s pop culture. It’s even included as part of Hollywood’s tours of famous homes. Youngwood Court has been featured in Angeleno Magazine as well as Marie Claire and Nest magazines.
