Property Description

Perched in the hills above the Sunset Strip, this meticulously restored 1926 Spanish Revival residence by architect Robert Finkelhor captures the romance of early Hollywood with sweeping, uninterrupted views from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. Behind its classic Spanish facade, original architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved and complemented by a refined, contemporary sensibility. Hand-textured plaster walls, warm natural materials, and an abundance of light lend a quiet elegance to the interiors, while gracious living and dining rooms open to a series of terraces overlooking the city below. The residence encompasses six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, including a generous primary suite with a private sitting room and marble bath. A separate outbuilding offers flexible space for a studio, gym, office, or creative retreat. Outdoors, a saltwater pool and spa are positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic views, with a sauna and cold plunge completing the home's wellness amenities. Mature landscaping and thoughtfully arranged outdoor spaces create an atmosphere of seclusion, a striking contrast to the vibrant city beyond. An exceptional example of Los Angeles's architectural heritage, offering the privacy and tranquility of a hillside retreat just moments from the Chateau Marmont, Sunset Tower, and the Sunset Strip.
