Perched atop a private lot in the foothills of Hollywood, on a discreet cul-de-sac, this expansive 1920s Spanish estate offers unparalleled views, brilliant design, and incredible original details. Originally built in 1926, yet meticulously updated by design firm Pierce & Ward, this 7 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom estate, including a guest apartment, offers lush grounds, a sparkling pool, tiled courtyards and a perfect floor plan. A private, secure entrance leads past tiered gardens, which include espaliered citrus specimens, organic vegetable boxes, and other spectacular plantings. A large flat, grassy pad leads to a dramatic entrance foyer, with original inlaid wood floors and a stenciled ceiling that sets the tone for the magic that follows. The formal living room features a hand-painted stone fireplace surround, beautiful built-ins, and French doorsthat lead to large outdoor spaces. The dining room, brimming with natural light, also has French doors leading back to the grassy front lawn, offering majestic city views. Connected to the dining room is a perfectly outfitted and updated chefs kitchen with a built-in breakfast nook. The kitchen connects to an office/family room also with French doors opening to the expansive outdoor patio. A guest room with a bathroom plus a powder room completes the first floor.
