Description

Suave, Stylish & Sophisticated. Hollywood Elite and legendary musicians like Louis Armstrong were entertained here, swayed to the music and were awed by panoramic views from the City to the Ocean. A quintessential Mid Century retreat; a prime location in the Bird Streets. The first time on the market in 60 years, this residence has all the architectural features and open plan living spaces to capture the imagination, to curate this home to sing once again. The front elevation, with gabled entry, secluded courtyard and floating roof car park provide clues to classic modernist interior design featuring of a series of open concept spaces, expertly arranged, all playing directly to the garden, patios, pool and views. A grand formal double door entry unfolds to a massive living room, spacious media room with step down walnut bar, powder room, and large formal dining room - all light-filled spaces and walls of glass, with fluid connections among them. Shift your gaze to the sparkle of City lights beyond. Private quarters include a very large pool-side primary suite with wide open views, multiple closets, dressing room and large bath, plus two generous bedrooms and shared bath. Another wing contains the eat-in kitchen with yet more expansive views, service area and 4th bedroom + bath, all easily updated or reconfigured into a sprawling entertaining kitchen/family room/office wing all its own. Generous use of terrazzo, vintage pristine walnut paneling, and a variety of flourishes uniquely suited to preserving and coveting. Enormous opportunity to add square footage and/or rework the property to create a massive dream home with a generous flat pad, in a location offering homes in excess of $30MM. Don't miss this splendid toe-hold in Doheny Estates.
