About This Home
As of June 2022This rare & stunning example of Italianate architecture was built in 1922 by the family of President William Howard Taft. A Tuscan exterior & an interior characterized by classic Craftsman features are surrounded by lush grounds & high walls, creating a lavish, secluded retreat in the heart of Hollywood. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home boasts rich mahogany woodwork, Batchelder hearths, a formal dining room w/ pocket doors, a solarium, & a remodeled gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances including an 8-burner/dual-oven range. In addition to spacious bedrooms & luxurious baths, the home offers a laundry room, office space, & a wine cellar. Both the grand front patio & tropical backyard were designed w/ relaxation in mind. The pool, spa, & fire pit are as equally conducive to entertaining as they are to quiet evenings at home. Beyond the main house, situated at the end of the long private driveway, is a one bedroom/one bath guest cottage perfect for independent guests or relatives.
