Property is move-in ready.
This 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival is in move-in ready condition, featuring a high-end kitchen with custom cabinetry and modern appliances alongside a luxurious primary bathroom. While it meticulously preserves historic elements like original terrazzo floors, Malibu tiles, and vintage windows, the property has been updated for contemporary living with well-maintained systems and high-quality finishes throughout.
Designed by renowned architect Elmer Grey, this 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival is a rare historical gem featuring meticulously preserved Malibu tiles, original terrazzo floors, and vintage fixtures.
Situated on a commanding promontory, the home offers unobstructed, panoramic views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and the Los Angeles skyline reaching to the ocean.
The property includes a private guest studio with its own street entrance, kitchenette, and bath, providing excellent flexibility for a home office, rental potential, or long-term guests.
The 5,677 square foot lot is relatively compact for a home of this scale, meaning outdoor space is concentrated in patios and courtyards rather than a traditional flat lawn or garden.
As a century-old residence with many original architectural elements, the property may require more specialized and frequent maintenance to preserve its historical integrity compared to contemporary homes.
