esigned in 1926 by legendary L.A. architect
Paul Williams—and on the open market for
the first time—this classic Hancock Park
residence has since been extensively restored by its
current owner using Sonny Ward of June Architecture.
e goal? Maintain as many of the existing
characteristics as possible while still delivering up-to-
the-minute conveniences.
"e preservation of original details allows you to
experience the home the way Paul Williams intended,
and in the much the same manner as the family that
lived there for over 70 years, while simultaneously
delivering modern finishes in all the right places," says
Jenna Cooper of Compass, who is listing the property for
$7.249 million. "e moment you walk through the door,
you can feel the warmth and depth of this happy home."
Set on a tree-lined block at 148 S. Las Palmas Ave. (in a centrally located and historic locale
amid high-profile neighbors such as Mindy Kaling, George Takei, Natalie Cole, and designers
Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent), the five-bedroom, Mediterranean-style residence features
6,127 square feet of light-filled living space on two levels. Among the luxe trappings: a spacious
master suite boasting dual closets; a gourmet kitchen with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and
a high-performance French Lacanche range; and smart-home devices including iPad-controlled
Lutron and Nest systems, a multizoned Sonos sound system and security cameras.
Yet other show-stopping attributes include the original chandeliers, oak hardwood flooring and
steel-frame windows; a grand staircase with the original banister; custom-made French doors on
the first level to allow for optimum air and energy flow throughout; and ample wall space ideal
for an art aficionado's prized collection. Last, but definitely not least? A brand-new pool gracing
the attractive 11,878-square-foot lot.
