Property Description

Located in the heart Los Feliz' only Historical Preservation Zone, this circa 1915 Prairie style gem is an architectural centerpiece of the storied enclave, and with its separate guest house, serves as a creative mini compound. Prairie style, uniquely American, was inspired by the work of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, and was an intentional break from traditional Victorian Era styles and earlier styles of European classical architecture. The alluring curb appeal of this property gives way to large shady front porch, and oversized front door leads directly to double living room with stone fireplace, and massive open dining room with stunning original built-in and private side porch. Updated cook's kitchen features separate breakfast room with built-in and breakfast bar, plus there is a full separate laundry room. Two full suites occupy the main floor, including guest suite, and gorgeous primary suite with hallway, brand new fully tiled bath and spacious bedroom, opening to a large deck with French doors-- all overlooking the newly landscaped back yard. Upstairs are 3 more character bedrooms and a full guest bath. The back yard features deck, patios, grassy yard and separate guest quarters: with a two-room structure with full kitchen and three-quarter bath. This spectacular home is rich with original detail including: intact original rooms, stunning wide crown moldings, panels, built-ins, high ceilings, original registers, fireplace, and a myriad of well-preserved original windows and French doors, allowing copious natural sunlight to envelop the rooms. Ideally situated within short walking distance to the chic and trendy restaurants and shops of Franklin Village, including Oaks Gourmet and Gelsons, plus Griffith Park and downtown Hollywood. Enjoy quiet and privacy at home and step out into the city when you are ready for action!
