Description

Perched on a large corner lot in the Los Feliz hills, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 1925 Spanish home offers over 3,000 square feet of elegant living space. With cascading windows, two fireplaces, hardwood flooring throughout, and abundant original elements, including intricate ironwork, magnesite tile, and vintage light fixtures, the home is thoughtfully preserved and updated for the architecturally-inspired buyer. Set in the foothills of Griffith Park, just a short distance to hiking trails and tennis courts, the Greek Theatre, and Hillhurst Avenue's best commercial offerings, the grand home offers romantic living in the heart of Los Feliz. Spacious and airy, the traditional floor plan allows flow and ease of living. Enter through the arched front wood door where the foyer leads to a grand living room displaying large arched windows, dramatic tray ceilings and a center fireplace with ornate mantle. Arched wrought iron doors lead you to a generous formal dining room, where floor-to-ceiling wood built-ins and a wall of windows create an inviting space for entertaining. A beautifully updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, checkered flooring, and a charming breakfast nook framed by bay windows sits at the back of the home, overlooking the newly landscaped backyard. The main level additionally features an office with French doors opening onto a private patio, a guest bedroom, and a charming full bathroom with a new vanity and a striking chain light fixture. A sweeping circular staircase adorned with exquisitely restored magnesite flooring invites you upstairs, where you can find three large bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet. The primary bedroom is a retreat unto itself, with a fireplace, arched windows, and French doors leading to a private balcony. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring mint green tiles that evoke vintage charm. Outside, the backyard sanctuary invites you to dine, lounge, or enjoy a cozy evening by the fire pit, surrounded by fresh landscaping that includes lavender, roses, and rosemary. The detached two-car garage, accessed from Parva Avenue, offers convenience and privacy. Located near the Greek Theatre and the boutiques and eateries along Hillhurst Avenue, including Little Dom's, All Time, and Blue Bottle Coffee, this home is a true Los Feliz gem. Adding to its allure is its Hollywood history, once owned by the iconic actress Julie Adams, best remembered for her role as Kay Lawrence in "Creature From the Black Lagoon." This home blends old Hollywood glamour with modern updates, making it a rare find in the heart of Los Feliz.
