Famed artist and philanthropist Shepard Fairey and his family have listed their beautiful residence in the Los Feliz Hills near the Griffith Observatory. This Mediterranean home, built in 1929, was restored by Mr. Fairey and his wife in 2005, returning this four bedroom abode to its original, yet modern, sublime grandeur.
Recently featured in The Wall Street Journal and Curbed Los Angeles, you will find gorgeous, classic, artistic touches throughout the home. From the many thick and tiled archways to the lovely iron hardware, you’ll find that each room and outdoor space has been meticulously crafted and designed to last for the ages.
From the formal entryway, the living room acts as the home’s focal point. With stunningly tall wood beamed ceilings, proscenium windows, superb views, wrought iron railings, and a charming fireplace and hearth, the living room was made for equal doses of stylish entertaining and casual relaxation.
The spacious dining room features hand applied plaster and a wonderful viewing balcony perfect for morning coffee and sunset toasts.
The eat-in, cook’s kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, bright light, and a breakfast area with a hand-painted banquette.
The master suite is truly a showstopper. Vintage French doors leading to a private balcony, candlestick light fixtures, generous wardrobe, entertainment center, and work area.
The updated en suite bath features a combination tub and stand-up shower, tiled flooring, recessed lighting, and plenty of storage and counter space . Three more luxurious bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the main floors.
Immediately outside the home is a regal, unenclosed courtyard patio with Spanish tiles and an alluring water fountain.
The fourth bedroom suite is on the lower floor, with a private entrance, and is functions great as a guest quarters, office, or artists studio.
Also on the lower floor is a hidden creative space where Mr. Fairey frequently worked on the illustrations and sketches for his larger works.
Down the stairs from the main patio sits another excellent entertaining area. Surrounded by trees and Camellia bushes, hillside views, you will instantly be seduced by the calming serenity the terraced yard provides.
An outdoor kitchen, bar, and a fire pit create an exemplary dining area, ideal for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter family suppers or celebratory soirées.
A two car garage was often used as Mr. Fairey’s painting studio. If you look closely, you may see remnants of his sketches on the walls.
All in all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an authentic Mediterranean mansion, one of the very best Los Feliz has to offer.
