This Historic Hollywood Home, lovingly owned and cherished for over 12 years, is filled with charm and details only the period of its construction provided. In a prime location for hiking in the hills, restaurants, shops and easy road and freeway access, this property allows for a quintessential Hollywood lifestyle with multiple possibilities in terms of remodeling and expanding, even with the hollow framework for an in-ground pool. One enters through a walled gate into a private courtyard with lofty Jacaranda tree and the immediate sense of Classic Spanish and Old Hollywood. The heavy front door opens to a magnificent great room with a vaulted beamed ceiling adorned with bulb lights. A grandly tiled fireplace centers the room aside an ornate staircase with original wood carving, wrought iron bannister and decorative stained glass windows. An oversize front window allows for abundant light and the warm afternoon sun. Two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom are positioned at the top and bottom of the staircase with the primary suite occupying its own section on the top floor. A dedicated AC unit provides excellent temperature control to the primary, with a classic balcony offering additional ventilation and space. The kitchen is fitted with a Subzero refrigerator and commercial grade Wolf range. A bright breakfast area completes the space with the dining room and glass roofed Solarium adjacent. Classic double doors open onto the courtyard from the dining room, perfect for summertime entertaining. The lower staircase leads down to additional square footage comprising a large sitting room or bedroom, bathroom, bedroom, laundry room and oversized storage area. Additional features on this level include a mysterious old 'speakeasy' hideaway and separate entrance, making an ideal guest or rental unit. The very bottom level is a huge basement with partial framing and insulation that allows for excessive storage space and a plethora of other possible uses. Steps down the north side of the house lead to an expansive, terraced backyard with planters and an open recreation area for workout equipment or sun loungers. The old pool is currently sectioned off but is longing for the next caretaker to resurrect life into it once again! Overall this is an absolute gem of a classic Hollywood House and when she finds her new owner, will surely take a whole new lease on modern life, with endless possible combinations of new amenities and design.
