This stunning 1934 Spanish Colonial Revival 'Mills Act' property features so many incredible details, you must visit to experience its architectural delights! The house, which sits on a corner lot and is larger (over 2,500 square feet) than most other houses on the block, was built by Spyros Ponty as a showcase home for the then burgeoning neighborhood development. A dramatic entryway with 15-foot ceiling leads to an expansive living room with stenciled ceilings, a large fireplace, a beautiful stained glass window and original hardwood flooring. The dining room, which overlooks the front courtyard fountain, is unique for its detailed moldings and specialized plaster work and is separated from the kitchen by an elaborately carved wooden door. The well-appointed kitchen was designed for entertaining with a dining area, luxury appliances and plenty of storage. Across from the dining room, you will find a cozy den with a fireplace, built-in library nook and French doors leading to the South courtyard with its mosaic details and a third fireplace. The large atrium at the center of the home features an elaborate stained-glass skylight and connects three sizable bedrooms, two with ensuite baths. The primary suite accesses the extra-large primary bath with original Art Deco tiling, and has built-in cabinets, a sizable walk in closet and French doors overlooking the pool. The backyard was recently updated with a resurfaced pool, flagstone patio and a luxury built-in grill and wine fridge next to a covered pergola. Don't miss this opportunity to live in the heart of Los Angeles close to Beverly Hills, Culver City, LACMA, and the Farmers Market, while enjoying the substantial Mills Act property tax savings linked to this home.
