About this single-family home

Nestled behind gates, mature hedges, and landscaping on an expansive lot in the heart of Los Feliz, this meticulously reimagined 1920s Italian-inspired villa embodies the essence of old Hollywood glamour paired with contemporary sophistication. Rumored to have once been part of Cecil B. DeMille's illustrious Laughlin Park estate, the property has undergone a transformative redesign, offering approximately 3,453 square feet of unparalleled living space with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. A grand approach, framed by iconic towering palms, sets the tone for the home's timeless allure. Inside, sunlit formal living and dining rooms feature 9-foot coved ceilings, intricate stained-glass accents, and elegant French windows that invite a seamless connection to the outdoors. Rich hardwood floors and custom crown molding lend a sense of warmth and sophistication throughout. The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece in itself, outfitted with Caesarstone countertops, professional-grade appliances, a Miele built-in coffee station, a beverage fridge, and a spacious walk-in pantry designed for both function and flair. The main-level primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a spa-like bath, a custom walk-in closet, and a tranquil private garden courtyard. Upstairs, an additional primary suite and two versatile bedrooms exude thoughtful design and sophistication. State-of-the-art home audio, advanced security systems, and refined finishes throughout add to the home's effortless blend of luxury and comfort. Outside, a spacious motor court, lush grassy grounds, and intimate patios create an idyllic setting for relaxation, outdoor dining, and entertaining, all while offering captivating views of the city skyline. Ideally situated moments from Los Feliz's premier dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks, this one-of-a-kind estate exemplifies the art of fine living in Los Angeles.
