Description
This gated circa 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival home with a rich historical pedigree, is one of Hollywoodland's earliest and most distinctive houses. Designed by architect Elmer Grey (known for the Beverly Hills hotel and the Huntington Art Gallery), the property rises from historic stone walls to a commanding Beachwood Canyon promontory with spellbinding views of major landmarks - Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory and L.A. skyline to the ocean, in a neighborhood synonymous with the golden age of cinema and magical architecture. Notable features of the 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms property include a formal entry with original terrazzo floor and a graceful, curved staircase; well-preserved Malibu tiles throughout, vintage light fixtures and windows, and multiple patios, with a layout that harmoniously balances formal old world elegance and comfortable contemporary living. The main level has a spacious family room opening to a peaceful romantic courtyard with a wood-burning fireplace and a separate dining alcove; a formal dining room; a large kitchen with high end appliances and custom cabinetry; 3 perfectly positioned bedrooms; 2 baths and a classic powder room. Upstairs features a grand scale living room with coved ceilings and a carved stone wood-burning fireplace, opening onto a sunny patio; an exquisite original chapel/library with a 1920s Della Robbia wall fountain, original stained-glass windows and walls of built-in bookcases. The well-appointed primary bedroom with ensuite luxurious bathroom opening to a private balcony, and a walk-in closet, completes this level. Discreetly tucked below, an ideal guest studio with views has a private street entrance, a kitchenette and a bath. The verdant and tranquil setting compliments the home's architecture and embodies the California lifestyle, offering optimum indoor/outdoor entertaining possibilities and expansive views from virtually every room. Glamorous and authentic architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved. This prized location on Belden Drive, near Beachwood Village market, cafes and shops, offers a calm oasis with utmost privacy.
