About This Home

As of September 2024

Introducing Villa Alambra, a magnificent testament to Grand Spanish architecture nestled in the heart of the prestigious Outpost Estates. The property has always been known as one of the most stunning and unique homes in the neighborhood and has been featured in movie and television shoots. This exquisite Spanish Colonial Revival was designed by Ellet P. Parcher - a renowned architect of the 1920's and designer of some of the finest residences in the Hollywood Hills. After being lovingly cared for over the last 23 years, the sellers are offering the next buyer a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history. Dating back to the 1920s, Villa Alambra exudes timeless charm and elegance, having original historic details at every turn. The home features meticulously preserved tiles, ornate fixtures, tranquil fountains - even an original cascading waterfall. Every corner of this 4,700 square foot estate whispers tales of a bygone era and captivates the senses. The house is gated with a private driveway and set far back on a rare street-to-street lot. Beyond its graceful facade lies a private oasis of luxury and sophistication. Lavish gardens and a prolific fruit grove envelop the property, providing a serene backdrop for outdoor gatherings or quiet moments of meditation. A shimmering pool beckons, accompanied by a separate guest suite, offering unparalleled comfort and convenience. The home features a large foyer that flows into an incredible living room with a vaulted ceiling and ornate corbels. There is a large octagonal Dining room surrounded by huge French doors. The natural light is spectacular throughout! The bright kitchen and separate breakfast room are inviting. The primary suite is beyond impressive with the same unique octagonal shape, 2 walk-in closets, and walls of French doors overlooking the city to the sea. Each bedroom is en-suite. The hand-carved wood doors throughout the house are works of art by themselves. Within the confines of this remarkable residence, modern amenities merge seamlessly with old-world charm. Three-zone air conditioning and heating systems ensure year-round comfort. A new 400-amp electrical service has just been installed. Situated on Outpost Circle, one of the enclave's most coveted and private streets, Villa Alambra offers seclusion and tranquility mere moments from the pulse of the "New Hollywood" and just a short distance to the Hollywood Bowl and Runyon Canyon Park, where gorgeous hikes and sunsets await. Surrounded by other great estates, this property enjoys a rare sense of privacy, enhanced by lush vegetation and panoramic city views from the hills to the sea. With four bedrooms, four and a half baths, and a host of timeless features, Villa Alambra embodies refined living in the heart of Los Angeles, and promises a lifestyle of luxury and sophistication within this exceptional estate. Don't miss your chance to make Villa Alambra your own and write the next chapter in its storied legacy.
