It was the first home built on the hillside of Los Feliz with a garden that has been maturing for over 100 years. The original finishes that make this home magic are still intact, which is a testament to how much respect all of its owners have had for this space over the years.

Designed in 1922 by Stiles O. Clements, architect of Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre, the 4,026-square-foot Spanish Revival sits on a terraced 1.5-acre site just below Griffith Park. Its celebrity pedigree includes Tim Curry, Robert Pattinson, Noah Wyle, Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jim Parsons and Aaron Paul.

The grounds are a showcase of mature landscaping and layered outdoor amenities: a freeform grottoed pool, cold plunge, amphitheater, koi pond, fire pits, multiple patios, and hidden garden paths.

The main floor features a den/media room, paneled card room, en-suite guest bedroom, and an updated eat-in kitchen that opens to a private garden patio.

Inside the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home, classic Spanish Revival details endure—arched windows, stained-glass accents, exposed beams, terracotta floors, a black-and-white tiled foyer, and hand-painted ceilings. The interiors were remodeled by Commune Design to preserve its historic character while adding modern functionality.

Every room is a masterclass in California cool with a historic twist, thanks to L.A.-based design studio Commune.

 Upstairs, the primary suite includes a balcony, a renovated period-appropriate bath, and a dressing area, while a second suite offers tranquil garden views.
