An architectural legacy with an entertainment industry pedigree, this classic Los Feliz Heights compound is gorgeously situated behind gates in a lush, terraced garden. Designed in his favored Spanish Colonial Revival style by Carleton Winslow, Sr., architect of the Bel Air Country Club and the Los Angeles Public Library, among many other landmark properties, the residence was built in 1924.

In addition to the main house, there is a detached three-bedroom guesthouse with a full kitchen, and a separate apartment suite with a kitchenette.The front door opens into a majestic foyer with ornate vaulted and painted ceilings and Spanish tile floors. Off the foyer and two steps down is the living room, a stately entertaining space with vaulted ceilings, a huge fireplace, enormous arched windows, wood plank floors, and French doors to a garden patio. Adjacent to the living room is a handsome office/library with shelf-lined walls, a fireplace with tile hearth, and French doors to a balcony overlooking the backyard.Another door off the foyer leads to the formal dining room, a space of almost chapel-like tranquility that occupies the turreted tower.
