About this home
This grand Mills Act estate, known as "The Victor Rosetti Residence," is an exceptional example of Paul Revere Williams' iconic Spanish Colonial Revival style that strongly influenced California architecture. Nestled in the lush greenery of Griffith Park, the property is a sprawling compound with expansive views that, despite its impressive scale, still manages to feel warm and intimate. Superbly restored, tastefully updated, and lovingly cared for, it blends historic charm with architectural beauty in the prestigious Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood. With picture-perfect views of The Griffith Observatory and sweeping 180-degree vistas across Los Angeles, the estate conveys both the grandeur of a palatial residence and the ambiance of a true home. The main residence boasts many intricate and artistic details throughout, including a wood-paneled library, coffered and hand-painted ceilings, three ornate fireplaces, a wine room, cozy alcoves, and stained glass windows. The large kitchen, with its original floor-to-ceiling tiles, has been renovated with superior appliances while preserving its period charm. A stylish butler's pantry adjoins with a separate dishwasher, wet bar, and a large warming oven. From there, a beautifully preserved wooden swing door opens to a remarkable wood-paneled dining room and a lovely breakfast room. Additional comforts include a steam shower, an operational dumbwaiter that services all three floors, two walk-in laundry rooms, a media room with original hand-painted beams, a cozy pub nook, and a secret bookcase door leading to the bottom floor. The grounds evoke a resort-like setting with a shimmering pool surrounded by a summer lounge area, outdoor gas fire pit, and a barrel-tiled roof pergola featuring a double-sided fireplace and outdoor kitchen for al fresco dining. A secret garden, complete with a koi pond, small citrus grove, landscaped grounds, multiple fountains, and pathways offer moments of tranquility immersed in nature. Two additional spaces, each with separate entrances, full bathrooms, and kitchenettes extend the property's versatility--one has served as a sizable gym, while the other is currently occupied by 24/7 security personnel. The adjoining property enhances the estate with a newly refurbished 1-bedroom, 1-bath pool house, a newly renovated pool, and a 1500-sf home offered with approved city plans for interior completion, allowing customization to suit any need. It has its own two-car garage, two privately gated entrances, and a beautifully landscaped yard surrounding the pool. Between the two properties, there is parking for approximately 25 cars inside the gates. This isn't just a house; it's a very special experience and must be seen to be believed. Set in a quiet neighborhood, the residence feels like a private Mediterranean retreat, while still only minutes from many acclaimed restaurants, artisan shops, cafes, and bars, with a short walk to some of the best hiking trails in the city. A gem in Paul Williams' incredible portfolio, "The Victor Rosetti Residence," has had only four owners and is unlikely to come on the market again soon, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a piece of architectural history.
