From the agent: "This 1930 storybook home was designed by notable architect Elmer Grey, FAIA, whose other works include the Beverly Hills Hotel, Pasadena Playhouse, and Huntington Art Gallery. North of Los Feliz Blvd and at the end of a gated drive, this stunning property has incomparable panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline. The home combines period details and historic charm with modern conveniences (major systems were updated over the last year). Features include: hardwood floors, a large living room, formal dining room, four bedrooms, and a second-floor den/media room that showcases incredible views of the city. The floor-plan is flexible and could accommodate a number of creative possibilities. The large lot is charmingly planted and has the feel of a magical wooded garden. Additionally, there are exterior patios off the kitchen that are perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining."

Perched in Los Feliz, the historic home presents a handsome white-and-black facade. Parking is no issue here, thanks to the property's two-car garage and wide driveway.
