Leave the city behind and enter a world of timeless elegance through an enchanting Mediterranean courtyard that beautifully unfolds like a secret garden. Graceful arches and colonnades, hand-crafted Moroccan lanterns, the scent of citrus trees in bloom, and the soothing sound of an Andalusian fountain joyfully welcomes you to this architecturally significant Spanish Revival masterpiece. This expansive and visionary golden era estate is perfectly perched in an exclusive enclave in the hills of Los Feliz, nestled high above the boulevard and just beneath the wild green of Griffith Park.


Designed by esteemed “Adobe Architect to the Stars” John William Chard, this 4-bed, 3.5-bath estate exudes a rich Hollywood provenance and undeniable mystique.

The home’s rare and authentic details have been seamlessly restored and enhanced with modern luxury and comforts.

A balustrade of arched columns, Saltillo tiles, wood beams guides the way to the home’s impressive and singular front door.

A dramatic 2-story entry leads to a grand scale step-down living room.

The living room has soaring 17-foot beamed ceilings and a centerpiece fireplace.

An adjacent library/media room opens effortlessly to the outdoors.

The formal dining room has rows of windows with picturesque courtyard views.

It leads to an Epicurean eat-in kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, soapstone counters, and a full pantry.

The sunny breakfast room opens to the courtyard.

The perfectly private and expansive backyard is an entertainer’s dream.

The large flat, grassy yard, swimmer’s pool, spa, citrus orchard, and a grapevine covered pergola all combine perfectly for alfresco dining and impromptu soirees.

The best way to conquer an L.A. heatwave? A deep dive into a pristine swimmer’s pool where each lap feels like a private escape, and the city’s chaos dissolves into the rhythm of the water.

The large grassy area is primed for kids and pets.

Upstairs, a spacious primary retreat with a separate sitting area and separate office or nursery is framed by jetliner views of the Downtown LA skyline.

Awash in brilliant natural light, the home showcases Chard’s signature touches throughout: thick, beautifully plastered walls, softly curved corners, artistic ironwork, graceful arches, tiles, and warm quarter sewn-oak floors.

Ornate casement windows with antique hardware and wavy glass panes frame lush greenery from every room, enriching the home’s timeless appeal.

The estate’s balconies offer something rare and wonderful and speak to Architect Chard’s brilliant ability to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, framing breathtaking vistas while providing an intimate perch above the landscape.

The primary suite’s bathroom is a serene retreat with impeccable vintage design—bathed in natural light, wrapped in exquisite finishes, and crafted for both indulgence and tranquility.

Two additional guest bedrooms feature private balconies overlooking lush hillsides.

All of the home’s bathrooms are exquisite showcases of timeless design, seamlessly blending old and new materials to create spaces that feel both refined and inviting.

A secluded fourth bedroom suite accessible through the garden offers the perfect space for extended guests, a gym, or a home office.

Perched above the boulevard in one of Los Feliz’s most coveted enclaves, this historic estate is a masterclass in elegance, offering both a premier address and an atmosphere designed for effortless entertaining.

Behind its distinguished façade lies a home where timeless architecture meets modern refinement, with grand living spaces that flow seamlessly to lush outdoor retreats. Whether hosting an intimate soirée beneath twinkling bistro lights or a lively gathering framed by panoramic city views, every moment here feels cinematic.

More than just a residence, this is a sanctuary—an inspired setting where history, sophistication, and the spirit of Los Angeles converge.
