About This Home

Rich in 1930s character and scale, this expansive Little Holmby Spanish estate has been extensively renovated and thoughtfully expanded, seamlessly blending modern upgrades with the integrity of its original design, ideal for both the architectural purist and today's lifestyle. Period craftsmanship is beautifully preserved and complemented by wide-plank French oak floors, intricate wrought iron, refined wood paneling, striking ceiling treatments, and subtle Art Deco accents. A charming enclosed brick courtyard and romantic loggia lead to a stately entry. Inside, a dramatic foyer with sweeping staircase opens to a sophisticated step-down living room with ironwork accents, a grand wood mantle, and detailed tray ceiling. A richly paneled family room with stained glass and coffered ceiling offers an inviting gathering space. Recent upgrades are comprehensive, including a fully reimagined chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances, expanded primary bath and custom walk-in closet, and updates to four additional bathrooms. Additional improvements include new interior/exterior paint, restored fireplaces and chimneys, and a fully equipped home theater. Upstairs features three oversized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with elegant ceilings, dressing area, and updated bath. Secondary bedrooms offer en-suite baths, one with an adjoining sunroom which is ideal for gym or kids playroom. The lower level includes an expansive Tiki-style lounge with bar and bath, ideal for entertaining. A detached theater sits above a refurbished 3-car garage. Major system upgrades include new HVAC systems, mini-splits, updated electrical, copper plumbing, ABS lines, foundation bolting, and a newer roof. Outdoor spaces include a wood deck, brick patio, circular driveway, and motor court. Ideally located near UCLA, Westwood Village, and Holmby Park, within the Warner Avenue Elementary district.
