Architecture Wednesday: 1928 Spanish Revival

This chic courtyard Spanish Revival home, owned at different times by a slew of celebrities, sits on La Presa Drive in the tony enclave of Outpost Estates. And, while the major views are the initial draw, the thoughtfully redesigned home offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms with private courtyards and balcony views of all the Los Angeles landmarks; Griffith Observatory, Capital Records building, & downtown LA.

The Primary suite—created from a former two bedroom and two bath layout—is now a luxurious suite with spacious bathroom and large custom fitted walk-in wardrobe. The other two bedrooms also feature ensuite bathrooms; a fourth bedroom is used as a cozy office area.

In the kitchen, with an eat-in area with a view, there are Sub Zero and La Cornue appliances, stunning oversized white apron sink, ample storage and designer concrete tiles. The Living Room and Piano Room are lined with French doors that open to a secluded courtyard and romantic vine-covered dining area.  There is also a large family room and sunroom with windows open to the view.

There is also an original two car garage on the private and gated property creating a peaceful oasis above the city.
