January 26, 2013 in Latest News

Recently owned by a famous designer, this Mediterranean estate is packed with custom finishes and high-end fixtures from all over the world.  An enchanting brook creates a focal point of conversation as it runs through the residence, which offers six bedrooms and a prime location in the historic neighborhood of Hancock Park.
 
Resting on nearly a half-acre of land (per assessor), this entirely gated property is a peaceful sanctuary for the homeowner.  A sophisticated and relaxing venue for entertaining, the residence boasts a distinctive cross-shaped pool, mature privacy hedges and an expansive courtyard area.
 
There is an impressive two story entrance hall with exposed beam ceilings, and the approximately 5,900 square foot interior features an extensive use of natural hardwoods and Spanish tile.  Designed in 1927 by Ralph Flewelling,* the home includes a spectacular family room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a warm formal living room with a large wood burning fireplace.
 
The family room has views of the heated pool and courtyard, abundant natural light and a built-in wet bar.  Offered by Cristie St. James and Markus Canter, Luxury Properties Directors for Prudential California Realty, the home features vaulted hardwood ceilings in many of the rooms, including the entrance hall, the upstairs den, master bedroom terrace and living room.
 
There is a separate formal dining room, and the kitchen is equipped with marble countertops, a center island and high-end stainless appliances.  The library has a wall of built-in shelving, and there are two en suite bedrooms on the main floor.
 
Sited nearby the Larchmont Village neighborhood, the home also features two master bedroom suites on the second floor and an attached two car garage.
 
*Ralph Flewelling was known for his ability to bring a feeling of intimacy and charm to expansive, open living areas. A graduate of MIT, he earned numerous awards for his designs, which include Mudd Hall at the University of Southern California, the Beverly Hills Post Office, Fisher Gallery, and more.
 
The estate is being offered at $4,600,000.  For more information, or to schedule a private tour, please contact Cristie St. James or Markus Canter, at 310-777-2888, or 310-248-6448, respectively; they may be reached via email at [email protected] or [email protected].
