About This Home

As of November 2023

Rarely does a gem hit the market that checks every single box. The Lowry Estate is the epitome of a classic Spanish with bells, whistles and a surprising secret. Sitting high on the hill among the historic ambiance of Los Feliz, built in 1929 and infused with a rich past and, distinctive features, this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home harmoniously combines its charming character with all of the modern luxuries. The magic of this home is felt as soon as you cross the threshold, vintage ClayCal Tile wrap the front door offering a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship that lie within. Original hardwood floors warm the home while Venetian plaster walls evoke an enchanting Old-World charm, the stairs showcase the iconic Magnesite design, paying homage to architectural styles of a bygone era and yet still look perfectly chic and modern. An enormous, gourmet ready kitchen is fully outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a large island and stunning tile work with tons of storage. The oversized living room is light filled and feature a beautifully Bachelder tiled fireplace. The dining room, breakfast room and den are all bathed in light as well, filtered through beautifully framed wood windows. As homes with storied pasts often do, this one is no exception, with a hidden gem...the "secret floor", complete with a wall-to-ceiling safe harkening back to the prohibition era. Adding to the mystique is a classic dumbwaiter that connects the main floor to the lower level, showing off the home's originality and adaptability for contemporary living. Encompassing an expansive 4,991 square feet, this home offers 4 bedrooms, each with its own individual signature ensuite bathrooms and stunning views from every room. The primary suite offers a fireplace, private dressing room, and a bathroom with dual pedestal sinks. On the lower floor, a guest suite with a private entrance offers both seclusion and convenience, ideally suited for visitors or multi-generational living. The outdoors mirrors the beauty found indoors, offering unobstructed vistas of Griffith Park and the Tregnan Golf Academy. Amidst the sprawling landscape, 7 mature oak trees and 30 vibrant rose bushes create a private green oasis. Fruit-bearing trees orange, pomegranate, grape vines, loquat, and persimmon introduce both aesthetics and utility to the outdoor space. A harmonious integration of modern updates and historic elements is achieved seamlessly. Upgraded A/C, electrical systems, and plumbing coexist with meticulously preserved original bathroom tiles, ironwork and touches throughout, ensuring a move-in ready experience that flawlessly bridges the past and present without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Parking accommodates with a 2-car attached garage and ample space within the large, gated driveway. Situated within the LAUSD School district, specifically zoned for Franklin Avenue Elementary (buyer to verify). With the best of Los Feliz nightlife and restaurants in walking distance, including Little Doms, Messhall, All Time, and Nossa Caipirinha Bar, this estate offers a small town feeling in LA's hottest neighborhood. This extraordinary property presents an exclusive opportunity to possess a fragment of Los Feliz history. Embracing the allure of a bygone era while offering the best of modern living, this captivating haven masterfully merges the splendors of past and present. Do not miss your chance to experience this unparalleled fusion.
