Built on a double lot, this Spanish styled home exudes old world charm, while it has been fully and seamlessly updated for the needs of a modern household. A new wing was added in 2022 — a “Presidential Suite” that includes an oversized bedroom with his and hers bathrooms, a sauna in his and an oversized “tub with a view” in hers, large walk-in-in closets and expansive balconies (including a covered balcony perfect for outdoor exercise equipment) — with an incredible hillside and city view. Much of the pre-existing structure was also remodeled. One of the pre-existing bedrooms is equipped with a new kitchenette and balcony and can serve as a sitting room off of the new wing, a nursery or a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Every bedroom now has an en-suite or dedicated bathroom. A downstairs bonus room is ideal for a study or can serve as a maid’s room or guest bedroom; it is equipped with a large chef’s pantry that was added during the remodel. Gorgeous specialty painting, Venetian plaster and Turkish travertine floors and wainscoting throughout. There are three indoor fireplaces, one in the living room, one in the sitting room/bedroom and one in the new wing bedroom. Top of the line fixtures, appliances and integrated acoustical system. The property is gated and has a fully equipped security system with state-of-the-art cameras. There is a spectacular resort-like pool and spa, with a rock wall waterfall, travertine patio and fire pit area -- landscaped into a tropical paradise and accented with a putting green. This supplements two secluded retreat areas and an expansive outdoor original brick fireplace and patio area off of the kitchen, beautifully lit with bistro lights for al fresco dining. The house was originally built in the late 1920s on the Doheny hunting grounds; an oversized two-story vaulted ceiling family room "chalet" with a bar was added several decades later. Orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, kumquat and delicious fruiting banana trees abound and surround a historic oak and other lush vegetation — all magnificently lit. This house is truly one of a kind, a perfect family house and an entertainer’s delight.
