This Hollywood Hills Mediterranean has just received a spectacular remodel and offers a brilliant balance of 1920’s grandeur and 2020’s casual living. A part of the area’s rich history, the home was built in 1925 for Hugo Kirchhofer, the founding musical director of the HollywoodBowl. Sited above the street on two separate lots, the home has jetliner views from Hollywood to the Palos Verdes Peninsular.
One enters to a living room of impressive scale, with soaring ceilings, dramatic fireplace, refinished oak floors and stained glass window. Beyond lies the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen features a Fisher and Paykel appliance package, including 48” range with grill and double dishwasher drawers. Countertops are quartzite, a chic breakfast nook features leather banquettes and pocketing La Cantina sliding doors open the area to a romantic courtyard paved with Moroccan encaustic tiles.
Upstairs the large primary bedroom sports walnut built-ins and a zen ensuite bath with tadelakt cement wall finish. Double doors open onto an outdoor deck with captivating city views and a built-in daybed provides the ideal spot for a book or a nap. Two generous guest bedrooms complete this level - one has an ensuite bath and both bedrooms open to the outdoors. A second guest bath off the hallway features a freestanding soaking tub.
On a lower level of the home is a separate guest suite with bathroom. Completely private with its own entrance and outdoor area it is perfect for guests or as a home gym or office. Another studio on the grounds offers additional flexibility for those working from home.
The second lot contains a bucolic yard with dining pavilion and offers room for an ADU guesthouse and pool if desired. Views from this lot are also spectacular. Plantings include persimmon, grapes, citrus and liquid amber and there is a lovely vegetable garden. A door at the rear of the yard leads to Alta Loma Terrace, a magical walk street that allows one to walk directly down to the Bowl.
With updated plumbing, electrical and HVAC this is a timeless Hollywood classic ready for her next chapter.
