Description

For the first time since 1982, one of the original crown jewels of the Hollywood Riviera is being offered to the market. Built in 1929 by celebrated architect C.S. Argenbright as his personal residence, this extraordinary Spanish Revival estate is a true legacy property—rich with character, history, and artistry. Crafted on a lush 7,478 square foot lot with amazing ocean views, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home spans 3,201 square feet of meticulously maintained living space, blending timeless elegance with thoughtful custom enhancements made over four decades by the current owner—a talented mechanical engineer and designer. A sense of romance and craftsmanship greets you at every turn. Original details abound: a red terracotta roof, hand-painted ceilings, stained glass accents, hand-hewn beams, and decorative wrought iron. The foyer's staircase is adorned with an artful collection of Malibu and Catalina tiles. The expansive living room is bathed in natural light from large windows on three sides—two of which feature whimsical “bottle” glass—while an enchanting “Shakespeare” balcony enhances the formal dining room. Custom built-ins, original arches, and hardwood floors reflect the integrity of Argenbright’s vision, while handcrafted tilework and custom furniture pieces designed and built by the owner add layers of warmth and pride of ownership. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary complete with an attached sunroom and a balcony offering sweeping views of the coastline—an idyllic space to begin or end your day. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a charming Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring original 1929 tilework, lovingly preserved and full of character. The fourth bedroom is a small maid's quarters off the kitchen that has been tastefully converted into an office with handcrafted custom built-ins. The south-facing backyard offers a serene escape, with a sparkling rectangular pool, tranquil fountain, custom built pergola and mature landscaping that provides complete privacy—perfect for entertaining or peaceful solitude. Featured on the Hollywood Riviera Historic Homes Tour, this property is a once-in-a-generation offering—an irreplaceable piece of architectural history that must be experienced in person to truly appreciate. For the discerning buyer seeking timeless beauty, architectural pedigree, and exceptional provenance, this is your moment.
