Welcome to The Lowry Estate in the Los Feliz Hills! An incredible, classic, Spanish-style home with a surprising secret. Many, if not most, homes carry untold multitudes within their walls, and with a property as storied as The Lowry Estate, this one is no exception. The secret? The Lowry Estate has a “secret floor,” a Prohibition Era private level with a wall-to-ceiling safe totally hidden from the outside world. You wouldn’t even know it was there unless I told you. So let’s keep this little secret between us.
The absolute magic of this home doesn’t stop there. A soon as you cross the threshold, gorgeous and vintage ClayCal Tile adorn the front door and offers a glimpse into the artistry and timeless craftsmanship that lies within.
This majestic property is perched high on the hill among the historic ambiance of some of Los Feliz’s finest homes including the legendary Walt Disney Estate. The home was built nearly 100 years ago, in 1929, but has been preserved and restored with consideration for its regal past and an affinity for all of its distinctive original features.
From the impressive foyer, notice the stained glass windows, the original lighting fixtures, and arched accents and alcoves for displaying your most prized possessions and art pieces.
The living room, and all of the home, features the original hardwood floors. The Venetian plaster walls evoke an enchanting Old-World charm, while the stairs showcase the iconic Magnesite design. The oversized living room is light-filled and features a beautiful Bachelder fireplace.
Plus there’s direct access to an amazing Spanish-tiled balcony with jaw-dropping views of all of the San Gabriel Mountains and beyond.
The home encompasses an expansive 4,991 square feet and offers four bedrooms and five full baths, plus jaw-dropping Spanish details around every corner.
There is a wonderful office and library with sweeping treetop views to offer a calming respite from work when you need it.
The formal dining room is located just next to the charming breakfast room, which reminds me of the holiday dinners of my childhood when the adults would enjoy one room while us kids were all seated at our own “children’s table.” In retrospect, we liked it this way!
The enormous gourmet kitchen is truly one-of-a-kind and is fully outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a large island, beautiful wood cabinetry, and stunning tile work.
The den is simply bathed in natural light and has an amazing wood beamed ceiling. Plus, notice the dumbwaiter to your right. Increasingly rare, the dumbwaiter is functional and connects all the levels.
From the den, step out onto another Spanish-tiled patio.
Back inside, find your gorgeous laundry room. How many laundry rooms in Los Angeles can be called gorgeous? Maybe just this one!
Connected to the laundry room is a convenient guest bathroom decked out in vintage Spanish tiles.
Onto the bedrooms! The primary suite offers another Batchelder fireplace, a private dressing room, and incredible views of Griffith Park from its strategically placed window as well as from its private terrace.
I’ve lost count of the home’s fireplaces. This is number three? Or four?
The primary, like all of the home’s four bedrooms, has its own private en-suite bathroom.
The primary bedroom’s terrace offers unobstructed vistas of Griffith Park and the Tregnan Golf Academy.
The home’s second bedroom is nicely sized and has its own Juliette balcony.
Plus a large en-suite bathroom with a dreamy vintage tub.
The home’s third bedroom also has its own private outdoor space and stunning views.
And, I think, what may be my favorite of all the house’s great bathrooms.
On the lower floor, a guest suite with its own private entrance offers both seclusion and convenience, ideally suited for visiting guests or multi-generational living.
You’ll love the rustic chic quality of this bedroom’s bath.
The property’s massive outdoor spaces mirror the beauty found indoors. Amidst the sprawling lush landscape, there are seven mature oak trees and over thirty vibrant rose bushes that create a private green oasis. There are also fruit-bearing trees orange, pomegranate, grape vines, loquat, and persimmon trees. Basically, a whole arboretum in your own backyard! Meandering paths, lounging areas, terraces and decks for entertaining, plus room for a pool make the grounds unmatched.
The estate has upgraded A/C, electrical systems, and plumbing, plus ample parking for guests with a 2-car attached garage.
With the best of Los Feliz nightlife and restaurants in walking distance, including Little Dom’s, Messhall, All Time, and Nossa Caipirinha Bar, this estate offers a small town feeling in LA’s best east side neighborhood. You’ll be absolutely awe-struck by this extraordinary property. Flawless, historic, private, and altogether beautiful.
