2 Beds/2 Baths on 1,063 sqft built in 1963 in Studio City and listed for $495,000 on July 19, 2014. This home was previoulsy purchased at the peak of the last housing bubble on May 2, 2006 for $522,000 so looks like the seller will be taking a small loss. Apartment #9 sold last year on March 4, 2013 for $453,000 which was blogged about here.
Ray Kappe was born in 1927 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1972, he left the Department of Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona to start the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) with a group of faculty and students.
