Former LAFC Coach Steve Cherundolo Lists 1930s Storybook Home in Los Angeles

Steve Cherundolo, the esteemed former defenseman and coach affectionately known as the "Mayor of Hannover," has listed his 1930s storybook-style home in the prestigious Little Holmby neighborhood of Los Angeles for just under $5 million[1]. The residence, designed by the renowned architect Percy Parke Lewis, showcases a blend of Hollywood charm and European-inspired architecture.

The two-story, approximately 2,800-square-foot off-white cottage with gray trim sits on nearly a quarter-acre lot surrounded by manicured gardens and mature trees[1]. Inside, it retains many original features such as beveled windows, polished hardwood floors, high ceilings, and arched doorways, while being updated for modern luxury living[1].

Architectural highlights include a sunlit living room with whitewashed beamed ceilings and a fireplace, a cozy sitting nook built into a bay window, and a polished bar area with a wine cooler. The overall storybook character balances historic charm with contemporary comfort[1].

The main level includes a fireside living room with a wine cooler-equipped bar, a sun-filled sitting area notched into a bay window, an office, a wood-paneled library with a fireplace, and a formal dining room that opens out to a deck.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the primary suite boasts a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a dual-vanity bath with a glass-encased shower[2]. The loft space upstairs has been converted into a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite[3]. The two-car garage has been finished as additional living space with built-in storage[4]. The property offers a two-story main house plus a guest suite atop the detached garage, for a combined total of four bedrooms and four baths.

Cherundolo initially got his managerial start in Germany at Hannover's academy system[5]. He later came to the U.S. four years ago as a coach for LAFC, where he became the only coach in MLS history to win both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup in his first season[6]. However, he has announced that he will be stepping down as head coach of LAFC at the end of the 2025 season[7].

The property in Vail, CO, priced at $27,000,000 USD, is another home of Cherundolo's that is up for sale[8]. This property is marketed as a "Car Collector's Dream Home" and features a secluded and hedged backyard with room for a swimming pool[9]. The updated kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, an apron sink, a La Cornue range, and a breakfast nook with banquette seating[10].

In addition, Cherundolo has listed a property in Indigo Bay, Sint Maarten, priced at $2,724,800 USD[11]. This property is yet another testament to Cherundolo's global footprint and his love for real estate.
