1925 Spanish Colonial Revival in Los Feliz For Sale- $3,850,000

I'm here at my latest listing in Los Feliz. It's a beautiful 1925 Spanish 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, over 3600 square feet and I mean take a look. So first when you enter, automated gates, greeted by a beautiful fountain and this stunning curb appeal. I love how the ivy just grows onto the carport there and also just the character, the shape of the windows, the details and the stucco. It doesn't get much better than this. So what's really nice is this is fully privatized with really tall ficus hedging. Here we have Saltillo tile from Ardo Brick which makes a lot of these similar style tiles for many of the beautiful Spanish homes you see in LA. Look how tall that ficus is, giving you a ton of privacy. So these potted plants have a lot of citrus plants. So we have blood orange, lemons, you name it, this house has it. And then we'll go inside. Look at this door, let's try that again, there we go, got beautiful hardware on all the doors and the doors themselves, most are arched and the interior doors also have their own distinct style and the hardware on the doors, I love it too. So this is just a coat closet here and the tile details are kind of just everywhere. You can see right here as you come in and then the stairs, gorgeous. So we did a lot of work to bring this to market, about a month and a half, we refinished the floors, they were much darker, we lightened them up, we repainted the whole house and of course repositioned and staged all the photos to show how beautiful this house is. We have these really cool iron doors here and most of the time these are going to be closed, this is how they are open, sorry, this is how they look when they're closed. And this is the same style on the railing of the stairs. And you got a wood burning fireplace, these are all built-ins on the side here. So the owner got it, there wasn't much character, he added a lot of character back and that was part of it. Getting that in, and this light fixture too. So over here you got your rolling ladder, your bookshelf, and all these doors here all open out. You get a lot of fresh air, a lot of light through here, big windows everywhere. And also you'll notice this shape here of the windows and doors is mirrored on the openings of the rooms and the arch built-ins here too. I mean this thing is just oozing with character, there's character everywhere. Again these are added in to bring some of that character back. There's your dining room, which goes to your pool. I'll show that one later. And there's another angle through here. There's no bad angle in this house, it's glorious. One thing I didn't touch on was the beams all have stencils like they originally would. Those have been restored and brought back. And then here's your kitchen. A lot of times in Spanish homes the kitchens are an afterthought, but here it was restored and really would look closer to what it would have originally, but of course a lot of modern conveniences were added. You have a matte black granite countertop. Really cool, it's very raw. It almost feels like slate. Very sturdy. And then you have these built-ins here. These were things that were added in to and they're built-in. So they're attached to the floor. The breakfast table and the butcher block island here are all attached. You have a washer and dryer that goes to the garage or driveway. Sub-zero fridge. Dishwasher there. And your wolf range. And even the claps, the hogs there. Works perfectly. So here we go to the pool. So the tile here, all from our Ardo brick. Saltwater pool, it's heated. You've got a hot tub as well. And again, a lot of pot of plants. Not all, but most are citrus. Lemon tree, I believe. You have an outdoor kitchen. And a two-car garage. Oh, and don't forget the outdoor fireplace as well. Straight ahead. Let's go back inside. Let's see. Off the kitchen, there is a three-quarters bath. So it has a sink. Go ahead and shower. And right in the closet here, we have the California basement. It's really not ready to show yet, but it's just a small 8x8 basement. That's more for utilities, but there's a little more storage. I'll show that in a later video. And here is a hallway light. I love it. It's got blue glass. It creates an interesting glow there. And then here is the first bedroom. So we have two bedrooms downstairs and four bedrooms up. So that goes to the bathroom I just showed you. There's a closet. Closets have a pretty good space in this house. I love this detail, this light, the way it reflects the light around it. It makes a whole entryway glow. And it's also a really fun light too. It has Edison bulbs. So we've kind of made a full circle. We have the living room here. That's the front door we came in. And this is the office. So I didn't turn any lights on here on purpose just to show it has a lot of natural light. And I love the shape of these kind of Moorish-style French doors, those fully open. You can get in and out of them or just have them open and let a ton of air and let the sounds of the fountain enter. Got a dog or cat, doggy door. Got a pet door there. And then here's a view of the built-ins here. You almost can't tell but I guess from here you can see the reflection of that. There's a TV in there. And it also has a TV in there. So technically this counts as a bedroom. And right now we have it set up as an office. I think it makes a lot of sense as an office. So now we're going upstairs where we have four other bedrooms and two bathrooms up here. So we have one hallway bath. Let me just move around here to get an idea of the feel here. So straight ahead was a bedroom, second bedroom. This one is a bathroom. It's shared for all the three bedrooms here. There's a third upstairs bedroom. And that one's really interesting, the phone booth. I'll get to that. And then that's the primary bedroom with its own bathroom. So let's go straight ahead. So if you're keeping track, this is bedroom number three. It's a really interesting bedroom, very long, ton of space. There's a lot you could do with it. And again, all of these French doors open to the outside so you get a ton of natural light through them and then you open them up and it makes the house very fresh and airy. So here we are in bedroom number four. It's a really generous sized closet. And then here is the bathroom. So you got a shower, a full bathroom here. You got the tub and you got two sinks there. And then here is my favorite part, the telephone booth. So this was when the owner got it, it was unfortunately a half house closet. He converted it back because he could see it was obviously a phone booth. So he restored it back into a phone booth with a working phone. You got a light. You got a desk. You got a seat. And most importantly, you got a phone. Let me see if I can put this to my dial tone. So it also, interestingly enough, if you're at the front gate, it will call into this phone. You dial nine, it opens up the gate. All right. Here we are in the fifth bedroom. Beautiful bedroom, gets a ton of light. You know, you got the French doors that open up again and wood windows open up as well. And it even has a little balcony. It's a really great room. A ton of light. And this has a secret too. This has a hidden feature. You probably noticed this bookcase looks a little suspicious. It's angling. That's because this opens up because in the 1930s, during the prohibition era, they had to have, they wanted to hide their alcohol. Let me see. I'm going to, this might look bad for a second. I'm going to try to pull this with my filming hand. So it's on wheels, but it's a little tricky there. So it opens up and this is where they used to store the alcohol. Those are many kind of speakeasy storage space, which if you've been following me for a while, you know, I love finding prohibition era little secrets. So now you can just use it as a closet with a really interesting door. All right. So now we're here for the grand finale. The primary bedroom. It has its own balcony. And before I make this turn, I'm like, let's just show you the balcony. Once you see the primary bath, this balcony is great. Built-in benches all around. Great place to have a morning coffee or read a book. You're overlooking your very private front yard. And then you saw it. Look at that primary bathroom. It's stunning. I mean, every time someone's come in here and sees it, their jaw drops. It's just quite a view. Before we get to that, there is a walk-in closet. Offers plenty of storage. And there's a really spacious room. Walk on in. Look at this light. This primary bathroom gets so much light. It's got a really generous sized skylight there. Beautiful tile work. You know, a lot of this stuff is kind of like repurposed steel. Give you that really authentic look. And the shower, too, is such an interesting story. I'll get to that in a second. Of course, you've got your toilet. And more built-in storage. Plenty of it. Very, you know, big closet. You can open up here. That wardrobe closet there. And beautiful, beautiful clothlet tub. And then this hardware, too. So great. A lot of good telephone style. Shower wand there. Cool. So then you have another sink as well. So now we get to the shower. So, you know, this is great. So when it closes here, it has like a magnetic close. It makes a nice strong close. And it seals well, too. Because it's also a steam bath. So you can kind of see, like, oh, Jose, it's all rusted out. What's going on? Well, this was a custom make by the seller. He had repurposed, I think it's early 1900s, window panes from a warehouse in downtown L.A. And he had them made into a steam shower. You open up here. You have benches in there. Right behind that plant, you have a controller for your steam shower. And there you have it. Steam shower. It can also just be a regular shower as well, too. Yeah, so that concludes my tour. Thanks for staying all the way to the end. And if you want more information, please feel free to DM me. Or you can email me as well. You can email me at Jose at akgre.com. And, yeah, happy to help you out. Or if you're really into these styles at home, I would love to help you find one.
