A Legacy Estate in Hancock Park

This property is on the market for $14,850,000, co-listed with Ernie Carswell of Douglas Elliman and Boni Bryant and Joe Reichling of Compass

The Spanish Gothic property was built in 1923 by local Los Angeles architect Arthur E. Harvey, and has been transformed by one of the most prominent designer couples in the area, interior designer Brian Little and lifelong partner and realtor, Timothy Enright. 

Set on one of Hancock Park’s most illustrious streets, the fully walled and gated compound offers total privacy and 200 feet of frontage onto the Wilshire Country Club fairways.

Enter the property through the gates and via a tunnelled drive, above which is the 1-bedroom gatehouse, complete with its own private yard and plunge pool. 

The towering property makes quite the impression from its gravel courtyard, featuring manicured topiaries, a fountain, and a 4-car garage. 

Inside the 8000 square foot home, the interiors are spacious and classic, with a whimsical twist; the tropical wallscape in the foyer is of particular note. 

The legacy estate has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, with the bedroom suites designed with privacy in mind. Two of the primary suites offer arched privacy balconies, and there is also a serene tower office with a rooftop deck. 

The kitchen opens out onto the 400 square foot heated outdoor living room, perfect for dining al fresco. 

The backyard oasis is a study in symmetry and proportion, with an elegant swimming pool flanked by palms and a sunny lounge area.
