Spanish Revival Masterpiece by H.H. Whitley
Designed in the 1920s by acclaimed architect H.H. Whitley, this two-story Spanish-style home is a true architectural treasure. Resting on an oversized 8,222 sq ft lot with lush, mature landscaping, the property combines timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.
The formal entry showcases original Spanish tile, a graceful curved staircase with exquisite ironwork, and a rare coffin corner. To the right of the entryway, a dramatic living room features soaring beamed ceilings and a grand wood-burning/gas fed fireplace. To the left, a formal dining room overlooks the rose garden and flows into a bright, newly renovated kitchen with updated quartzite countertops, Viking range and hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and sunny breakfast nook with views of the backyard and pool.
Just off the kitchen is a laundry room with half bath, and a cozy den opening to the back patio. A large guest bedroom with ensuite bath completes the first floor. Hardwood floors run throughout, accented by Spanish tile in the foyer and classic terracotta tile in the bathrooms.
Upstairs, the curved hallway ceiling adds architectural charm. Four spacious bedrooms, including a large primary suite, offer comfort and privacy. The primary retreat features a walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate standing shower.
The expansive backyard is a private oasis with towering hedges, a classic heated kidney-shaped pool, and abundant space for entertaining. The permitted pool house/ADU includes French doors, a full kitchen, bathroom, and its own HVAC system—ideal for guests or additional rental income. Additional amenities include a long driveway with an automatic gate, two EV charging stations, an automatic sprinkler system, and a Nest heating/cooling system throughout the main house, as well as energy efficient solar panels on the pool house.
The grounds are enhanced by a stately magnolia tree along with a fruit-producing lemon tree, fragrant jasmine and a beautiful jacaranda in the front yard. Comfortably situated next to The Grove, Pan Pacific Park, The New Beverly, and some of LA’s best dining and entertainment, this Whitley-designed residence is a rare offering where history, elegance, and modern convenience meet.
