About this property
Expect the unexpected. A modernized, private Spanish Colonial legacy property on a street-to-street lot in the coveted hills of Los Feliz. This exceptional 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence spans over 3,800sf of reimagined and upgraded living space, with dazzling panoramic views of the city beyond from nearly every vantage of the property. Lovingly restored and expanded by the current owners, the home retains vintage focal points like exposed truss and beam ceilings, original wrought iron staircase, and Saltillo tile patios. The dramatic vaulted living room is a showstopper with wood burning fireplace and expansive tiled balcony facing the city skyline. The open plan concept was created to increase flow and connectivity to the home's many outdoor areas. Dining room with large picture window with original decorative ironwork and chandelier opens to a tiled patio with jetliner views all the way to the Port of Long Beach - a perfect place for morning coffee. The impressive cook's kitchen is a central gathering space in the home, with eat-in island, top-line appliances, and custom millwork. The kitchen's casual, everyday entry area with bench and coat closet leads to the pedestrian gate and parking on Bryn Mawr Rd. In the sunroom, La Cantina walls of glass open to reveal the large entertainer's yard complete with dining patio, large pool with diving board, a grassy yard space, and cabana lounge with fireplace and outdoor shower. Upstairs, the hotel inspired primary suite is a world onto itself. The appointments of this space include private balcony, fireplace, deep soaking tub, large dressing area and oversized smooth plastered shower room. An additional en suite bedroom and balcony complete this level. Descend the grand staircase to the home's lower level - a robust and flexible floor plan featuring large second living room with fireplace, gorgeous ensuite guest bedroom with walk-in closet, and hall bathroom with fourth bedroom/office. The lower front entry opens to an impressive Tempranillo vineyard and lighted garden pathway to the driveway and detached garage. A romantic, emotional home that harmonizes the vintage architecture we love with modern convenience and an upgraded living experience. Fully hedged, gated, and securely monitored, this very special private retreat is set just below the famed Griffith Observatory, minutes from Griffith Park trailheads and Los Feliz Village.
