Built in 1927 and restored by Architectural Digest top 100 designers Nickey Kehoe, this exceptional gated estate offers privacy and serenity in one of Los Feliz's most prestigious neighborhoods. Said to once have been the home of Pola Negril, one of the most celebrated actresses of Hollywood's silent and golden eras, the home offers a rare combination of classic historic Spanish architecture that has been sensitively and tastefully updated for modern living. Exceptional quality and attention to detail are apparent in every corner of this magnificent property.Upon entering the home you're greeted by a grand two-story entry, which leads to a formal living room with original touches throughout. The expansive chef's kitchen features large sliding glass doors which open to a wrap-around balcony that overlooks the grounds. With custom cabinetry and finishes, high-end appliances, and an oversized island, this kitchen is sprawling in size, bright in feeling, and offers ample space for dining or entertaining. Outside, you'll find an outdoor kitchen and dining area that overlook the expansive property, complete with built-in heaters and speakers. With one bedroom and en-suite bath on the first floor, upstairs you'll find a generous primary suite, den, and two guest bedrooms, all with en-suite baths. Spacious and bright, the primary features an original plasterwork ceiling as well as two walk-in closets, including an oversized dressing room complete with custom cabinetry. The residence also features a fifth guest room with separate exterior access and its own en-suite bathroom, as well as a pilates studio, chef's garden, two car garage with gated driveway, and stunning views of the Griffith Park Observatory. Continuing down a landscaped path, you're led to a very private and serene pool, and an oversized flat yard with mature landscaping throughout. This is an unparalleled opportunity to own an immaculately restored old-world villa completely redone by one of the most sought after interior designers working today. A perfect combination of location, quality, style, and historical pedigree that's rare to find, and nearly impossible to duplicate.
