About this home
878 Hartzell Street is a unique RTI Custom Home Development Opportunity in Pacific Palisades - the chance to own The Alphabet Streets' most beloved house, designed and built by the great Pacific Palisades architect and home builder John Alden Cusick. Situated on a coveted, oversized corner lot. Major structures remain. Only two corner lots in the Alphabet Streets have been sold in the 17 months since the fire. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture in the vein of Wallace Neff, and delivering all of the benefits of modern California living, 878 Hartzell Street is offered with approved plans for approximately 4,100 Square Feet Under Roof (including a renovated and conditioned detached Rec Room Structure which remains and is prime for ADU conversion), generous first story patios and expansive second story balconies. Designed with warm organic materials, hand-hewn, beamed millwork ceilings, overly thick plaster walls, period architectural detailing, arched passageways, soaring ceilings, and richly layered textures throughout, the residence blends old-world character with contemporary livability and scale. The thoughtfully designed floor plan incorporates gracious public rooms, a dramatic entry sequence, gourmet kitchen, family room and dining spaces, luxurious private bedroom suites and beautifully integrated outdoor entertaining areas designed for effortless indoor-outdoor California living. The grounds include lush gardens and painstakingly artisan-crafted Spanish antique brick hardscape, site walls and fire pit which remain, and a pool with a built-in rain fountain feature which also remains. 878 Hartzell Street has been the subject of online forums celebrating it since the fire. The owner is the principal of Aeries Development, a luxury home development firm. The RTI Plans were re-made to current code by Karen Putman, one of Pacific Palisades' most sought-after and prolific architects, and Aeries. Expediting work was done by Crest Development. Aeries, Karen and Crest can assist as desired in modifying the plans (including adding the allowable 10% square footage expansion under the re-permitting fast-track rule)....
