Dennis Hopper's Compound Hits the Market

At the end of May, the prolific actor/director/painter Dennis Hopper passed away after a battle with prostate cancer. In this week’s departure from all things DC real estate, we take a peek inside Hopper’s much-talked about Venice Beach home, known as Dennis Hopper’s Compound, that went on the market a few days ago.
The compound consists of 15,550 square feet of living space, made up of a main house built of corrugated steel, a small bungalow and three townhomes that have enormous loft spaces meant to house some of Hopper’s larger pieces of art. To show off his other passion — motorcycles — Hopper’s garage opens into a large art space. Out back, there is a small yard and lap pool.
The properties are listed for $6.425 million, but if you are not interested in the whole package, the main house, bungalow and pool can be had for $3.595 million. Oh, and the home was designed by Frank Gehry, one of the most heralded architects of the past few decades. With both his and Hopper’s name attached to the listing, we imagine that a wealthy home buyer will snatch it up soon, if only for the bragging rights.
