About This Home

As of July 2020

The Van Griffith Estate, built circa 1925, is the epitome of an authentic Los Feliz compound and an oasis in the heart of the city. Built by the son of the Griffith Park benefactor, the estate is positioned on approximately ¾ of an acre to take full advantage of City and Griffith Observatory views while offering complete privacy. Behind a double gate, a private tree lined driveway leads to a stunning Mediterranean home perched above the trees that features a spectacular living room, large eat-in kitchen, gorgeous master suite, two additional bedrooms, office, speakeasy, and oversized windows providing tremendous natural light. The parklike grounds feature mature olive, oak, and pine trees opening to a flat grassy yard, beautiful pool and covered outdoor dining area and fireplace ideally suited for entertaining. A phenomenal guest house that encompasses two large bedroom suites, a spacious living room, and full size kitchen is the ultimate retreat.
