Description

Sold before processing. An ultra private Los Feliz celebrity hideaway by A.F. Leicht, circa 1924. Within the classic Mediterranean Revival architecture, surprising French Nouveau, Gothic and Moorish elements combine to create this irreplicable residence. Leicht sought to invent his own style of architecture with predominant details such as elaborate turreted rooflines, elongated archways and windows, and curvilinear rooms and walkways. The grand living room, below original woodwork and barrel ceiling, features an impressive Art Nouveau picture window, original fireplace and a showpiece curved glass solarium seating area, jutting out to display views of the city beyond. A magnesite foyer with decadent stained glass painting flows to the dining room, with views of the secret courtyard. The cozy kitchen is tiled with corner fireplace; remarkable wraparound windows and balcony display romantic views. Up a spiral staircase, the extensive primary suite occupies nearly the entire level, with large terrace, walk-in closet, and high glamour vintaged tiled bathroom with soaking tub. Adjacent circular study is the perfect setting to pen your next novel, create beautiful art, or simply relax in the quiet repose of the Los Feliz hills. Privately situated throughout the 5, 100+ sf residence are two additional bedroom suites, plus a lower den and studio/ 4th bedroom option, all opening to the gardens and hillside views. A notable addition by the current owners is the gorgeous pool and spa with new bricked patio. Fully walled and gated, over 15, 000 square feet of grounds are extensively landscaped for privacy and enjoyment. An expansive lower redwood entertaining deck feels like a forested retreat set amid fountains and greenery. Direct entry 2-car garage complete this outstanding offering.
