Gated and set majestically back from the street on one of the largest lots in Little Holmby, this classic Monterey Traditional home beckons an architectural purist to restore it to its original glory or an imaginative buyer ready to create the estate property of their dreams. Originally built in 1937, this enchanting and character-filled home retains all the hallmarks of its old-world pedigree, with crown moldings, wainscoting, and hardwood floors throughout, in a style harkening back to the glamour days of early Hollywood. The sublime circular entry with parquet wood flooring, soaring ceiling, and sweeping staircase leads, on one side, to a lavish step-down formal living room with mammoth picture windows and a stately fireplace; and on the other, to a large formal dining room with additional parquet flooring and bay windows. The rear of the house features a gracious family room with a fireplace and a curved bank of windows, a serene breakfast/sitting area with built-in wet bar, and a cook's kitchen with a large pantry and built-in banquette - all opening to the extraordinarily large grounds. The floorplan, with its flow to the outside, offers the perfect space for large formal gatherings or intimate private affairs. In addition, there is a small office space, a maid's bedroom suite off the kitchen, an elegant powder room, and a vintage back staircase. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two generous family bedrooms with ensuite baths, and an enormous primary suite with dual closets, coved ceiling, and a sumptuous full bath. The house sits on an expansive 36,000+ sq ft lot, boasting a large front motor court with parking for numerous cars, a detached three-car garage with a full guest house above, grassy play areas in front and behind the house, a full-sized tennis court, a lower pool area with dual changing rooms, and breathtaking views across Holmby Hills and beyond. Coupled with its classic and romantic features, the home is mere moments from the relaxing atmosphere of Holmby Park, the world-class shopping at Westfield Century City, the glamour of Beverly Hills, and the cultural offerings of UCLA and Westwood. It also allows access to the prestigious, award-winning Warner Avenue Elementary School. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most expansive estate properties in Little Holmby.
