Located on a gently sloped picturesque street and elevated for privacy, views, and unparalleled curb appeal, this stately circa 1928 Spanish Colonial castle is steeped in character and authenticity, and located in one of Los Feliz' most sought after neighborhoods. Enjoy the view from the front, while a long hidden private driveway on a different street behind the house takes you right up to the back door. Front entrance leads to grand magnesite foyer with dramatic wrought iron staircase; and archway leads to gorgeous sunken living room with barrel ceiling, casement windows, hardwood floors, original fireplace and French doors leading to spacious garden patio. An entertainer's den with full wet bar is perfect for gatherings or playroom; and opens to the patio decorated with fountain and iron gates. Formal dining room overlooks the street below and hills ahead and opens to spacious eat-in chefs' kitchen with peninsula, stainless Viking appliances and large breakfast area.
