Beautifully Renovated Historic House in Los Angeles Hits the Market for $20,000,000
This property is on the market for $$19,995,000, listed with Tyrone McKillen of Official Partners, together with Brent Watson and Marco Salari of Coldwell Banker.
Villa Vendôme was originally built in 1917 by architect Frank Meline AIA with a design inspired by the Italian Architect, Andrea Palladio.
Untouched for decades, the Hancock Park home comes to market following a meticulous restoration by Plus Development and AD100 designer Jake Arnold.
Restored room-by-room, the Palladian mansion offers original features like crown moldings, stained-glass windows, and woodwork throughout, alongside top-of-the-line upgrades for modern standards of luxury.
During the renovations, they discovered a secret room believed to be a Prohibition-era speakeasy and restored the panelled room and added a hand-cut walnut bar with an onyx top.
Another hidden door in an upstairs closet led to an 800 sq ft unfinished attic space that has been transformed into a wood panelled lounge with a reading nook and a bathroom.
Refined living spaces with top-of-the-line finishes create an atmosphere of timeless elegance throughout Villa Vendôme, which comes with 2 kitchens and a kitchenette, a screening room adjacent to the speakeasy, and a home gym.
The 6-bedroom mansion offers about 10,000 sq ft of living space, and comes with an independent 1-bedroom guest house in the suite above the garages.
Set on a private 0.7 acre lot, the Los Angeles mansion has also been updated with a 75-foot swimming pool and spa nestled in the landscaped grounds with a vintage fountain, a fire pit, and a pergola for covered outdoor dining.
