About This Home

As of December 2015

Noted and published Paul Williams designed estate awaiting your personal touches to make this one of the most prominent homes in Los Feliz. Originally built in 1925, this home has only been owned by less than a handful of people and hasn't been traded since the late 50's. Past owners include Ben Platt of Platt Music Corporation, C.C Julien of the Julien Petroleum Scandal, and most recently the Missionary Society of St. Columban. Many original details still exist which include moldings, fireplaces, tiles, stonework, and an amazing speakeasy which still has taps and barrels in place. Large scale rooms with great ceiling height and many feature views of Griffith Observatory and Downtown LA. Lower level ballroom is perfect for large scale entertainment or having a home production studio or office. Enormous grounds with a ton of room for a pool and possible sports court if desired. Currently parking for up to 30 cars plus with a circular driveway for easy in and out.
