Property Detail

Description

Amid the storied surroundings of historic Whitley Heights, this beautifully restored 1933 Spanish Revival offers something increasingly rare in the heart of Los Angeles: a peaceful world of its own. Beyond its gates, mature greenery, intimate outdoor spaces and hillside views create a sense of calm and privacy, while the energy and conveniences of Hollywood remain close at hand. The experience begins along a charming Spanish-tiled staircase, where colorful Talavera-style tile risers, wrought-iron railings and mature greenery set the tone. Inside, arched doorways, warm wood windows and doors, built-in niches and wide-plank wood floors preserve the romance of the home's Spanish architecture while a thoughtful restoration provides modern comfort. Natural light fills the main living spaces, where French doors create an effortless connection to the outdoors. The beautifully appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, a generous center island and quality appliances. French doors open onto an expansive terrace overlooking the hills, treetops and terracotta rooftops of Whitley Heights—an inviting setting for morning coffee, entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. The main residence offers two well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, each complemented by a beautifully redesigned bath. Twin staircases rise along either side of the property to a grassy hillside terrace framed by mature trees and open sky—a rare outdoor retreat in the Hollywood Hills. Below, a fully self-contained guest suite offers exceptional versatility with its own living area, kitchen and dedicated office nook. French doors open to a private courtyard with built-in seating surrounded by lush greenery, creating another peaceful indoor-outdoor retreat. Comprehensively restored, the home features new wide-plank wood flooring, custom cabinetry, new appliances and bathrooms, low-voltage LED lighting, restored original windows, fresh interior and exterior finishes, stamped concrete and Saltillo tile. This is a home meant to be experienced slowly—French doors open to the breeze, coffee on the terrace, afternoons beneath the trees and evenings overlooking the hills. **A private retreat where the pace of the city seems to soften the moment you step inside.
