Property Description
This rare opportunity to own one of Los Angeles' most prestigious estates, the Oliver R. Fuller estates, was conceived in 1929 by celebrated architect Harry Hayden Whiteley, AIA. A stunning Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece stands behind stately wrought-iron gates, offering unparalleled privacy and distinction.
As you approach the graceful private drive, you are welcomed by the majestic allure of a Mediterranean estate steeped in old Hollywood glamour. Nestled on over 39,000 square feet of lush, manicured grounds, this magnificent property boasts six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and commanding views across the LA basin, crowned by the iconic Griffith Observatory.
Upon entry, you are greeted by a grand two-story rotunda, where hand-painted ceilings and a sweeping staircase evoke the elegance of a bygone era. The opulent living room, adorned with an intricate fireplace, opens through French doors to a balcony overlooking the shimmering pool, spa, and the sparkling cityscape beyond. Bathed in natural light, the library enchants with its honeycomb coffered ceiling, stained glass windows, a warm fireplace, and a hidden Prohibition-era bar.
The formal dining room, a work of art, features a hand-stenciled wood ceiling, breathtaking city views, and glass doors leading to a covered veranda. Here, you can bask in the warmth of an outdoor fireplace while gazing over the enchanting city below. The expansive chef's kitchen with a Butler's pantry, commercial-grade appliances, and an oversized Mahogany-clad island effortlessly combines modern convenience with timeless sophistication.
A graceful wrought-iron circular staircase leads to five lavish bedroom suites; each meticulously restored to offer modern luxuries while preserving its classic charm. The primary suite is a tranquil sanctuary featuring a fireplace, stained glass details, and a spa-like bathroom with awe-inspiring city views.
On the lower level, discover an entertainer's paradise with a spacious media room, home gym, 2,500+ bottle wine cellar, and two additional bathrooms, including one with a steam sauna. Perched above the estate, a charming one-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house awaits. It offers a private living room, kitchenette, and porch with sweeping rooftop and city views. This secluded retreat is ideal as a guest residence, studio, or home office. More than a residence, it celebrates historic elegance and modern luxury, set against one of the most breathtaking vistas in Los Angeles.
