Nov 28 This Neoclassical Estate In LA Is Pure Glamour

This property is listed for $13.65M with Ernie Carswell of Carswell and Associates.

With its imposing entrance columns with roof line balustrade complement and marble portico, the property feels timeless and certainly fit for Hollywood royalty.

Set in the heart of Los Angeles, the home has frontage on the 9th fairway of Wilshire Country Club in Hancock Park.

It was built in 1960 by famed California architect Wallace Neff for the Chandler family of LA Times fortune.

The property was modelled closely after Louis XIVs Pavillon de Louveciennes, an addition that the King built on to the Chateau de Louveciennes for his mistress in the 17th century.

Virtually untouched for 60 years, the current owner purchased the property in 2016 and put his heart into restoring the timeless property to its original splendor, while incorporating current technology & comforts.

The 4-bedroom, 6 bathroom home was recently featured in Architectural Digest, showcasing the meticulous hand-carve crown moldings, herringbone wood floors throughout, and imported door and window fixtures from Paris.

With 8163 square feet of living space, the property comes with a gated motor court, pool, and landscaping by Art Luna.
