Property Description

Nestled within the historic enclave of Fremont Place, a prestigious guard-gated community in Hancock Park, lies a magnificent 1923 Neoclassical estate, designed by renowned architect Clarence J. Smale. This exquisite residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the limited collection of 73 estate homes located within this exclusive neighborhood. Positioned beyond the stately colonnaded portals of LA's first gated community, this masterwork spans 6,408 sq. ft., situated on an expansive .59 acre private homesite. The residence announces its presence with luxuriant manicured landscaping and a sweeping half-circle driveway with a porte-cochere. Upon entering, the formal foyer reveals interiors adorned with museum-quality architectural detail, including crown molding and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Lined with French windows, the grand living room commands attention with its stone fireplace centerpiece, a sophisticated space for gatherings, enhanced by recessed lighting and integrated surround sound that elevates the entertaining experience. Adjacent to the living room is a versatile parlor, while a formal dining room boasts enchanting arched windows that illuminate the space. The generous family room opens to an expansive terrace through French doors that bathe the interiors with natural light and foster an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A thoughtfully conceived gourmet kitchen is crowned by beamed ceilings, where professional-grade Viking and SubZero appliances anchor the culinary experience. A zinc-topped island with bar seating, along with an ornate oven hood, built-in Miele espresso station, wine storage, and a generous walk-in pantry are all crafted with the accomplished host in mind. Morning light streams through the dedicated breakfast nook, offering direct access to a covered patio and views across the manicured grounds. The well-appointed laundry room extends from the kitchen, equipped with LG appliances, a sink, and plenty of storage. Ascend to the upper level to find four bedrooms, inclusive of the grand primary suite with double door entry, a gas fireplace, French doors that open to a balcony, and a luxurious bathroom with dual vanities, marble flooring, a steam shower, and a peaceful soaking tub. Three additional ensuite bedrooms, a library/study with an ornately carved stone fireplace, and an enclosed sun porch provide additional retreats on this level. Outside, discover a sprawling backyard beyond the terraces, featuring a verdant landscape, mature avocado, lime, and grapefruit trees, and an intimate sunken conversation pit, all enveloped in mature hedging for total privacy. With ample room for a private pool or tennis court, the property also features a detached two-car garage with a half-bath and dog-washing station, offering potential for future transformation into a pool or guest house. This exceptional offering represents a rare opportunity to access a storied community, where former residents have included luminaries from Muhammad Ali to Mary Pickford and Angela Bassett. The 24-hour guard-gated entrance ensures privacy and security, while the Fremont Place Association maintains the impeccable grounds of this 50-acre sanctuary set in a premier central city location. Take advantage of the chance to own a piece of history in one of Los Angeles' most exclusive communities.
