This captivating, gated compound is a treasured sanctuary that’s been passed between Hollywood celebs with good reason. The home was designed in 1933 by noted architect Ralph S. Loring—whose period-revival style homes and apartment complexes can be found sprinkled throughout Hollywood, the Fairfax District, and Mid-Wilshire. The primary residence, just shy of 3,000 sq ft, shows off Loring’s vision, as the home is quite unique for the period – every room opens to the outdoors and there is storage space galore. Not included in the sq ft, is a detached guest house with ¾ bath, a recording studio, a play house/office, outdoor kitchen and a gated garden offer options for home, work and play.
Formal dining room featuring metal fret work built-ins; a high wood clad tray ceiling and sharing six sets of French doors with the extensive living room. Between an archway and down a few steps is the formal living room with an even higher, cathedral ceiling with detailed cross beams and an oversized fireplace mantel to center the substantial room.
HUGE Chef’s kitchen and Butler’s Pantry/Mudroom with Guest Powder has marble countertops, Granada concrete tile floors, farmhouse sinks, brass faucets, La Cornue stove and a huge center island.
Custom mill work Banquette in the kitchen opens to a garden with several large, raised garden beds
