Exclusive | The property with Hollywood history was ready to sell for the first time in decades: ‘A really wonderful, almost fossilized house’

This wealth of the Mediterranean resurrection near Los Angeles has much to boast.

The house in Cañada Flintridge was created in 1927 by attractive architect Paul R. Williams, the designer of iconic commercial buildings and residents throughout the first African-American member of the American Institute of Architects. The settlement later served as an attraction for the Hollywood actor of the Golden Age Dennis Morgan. At the top of its Californian bonds, the widespread property boasts a large -sized pool.

Now, this 1.2 hectare wealth can be itself for $ 8.5 million that marks its first sale in decades.

“It’S’Se a really wonderful, almost fossilized house,” told the Compass George Penner agent for The Post. “He captures the spirit of Hollywood and Los Angeles in the 1930s.”

The main residence of assets, designed by Williams, includes four bedrooms at 8,156 square meters. Details strictly created are sprinkled throughout the house, including hand -sided ceilings, black and white marble floors, tile mosaics and stained glass.

The specialty rooms include a panel library, a music room and a wine cellar basement.

The bases of the asset, located in the lowlands of the Verdugo Mountains, include a garden, two greenhouses, a one -bedroom casinos and a Faux Bois tea house built by a Japanese artisan in 1929. A two -bed house features a “observer” look and one two.

Then, it has the pool.

“Everyone seems to comment on the Olympic -size pool because it is so unusual to have such a large pool, rich for a single family home,” Penner said.

Architect Paul R. Williams built the settlement early in his career for lawyer James Degnan. Williams continued to create home for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball.

“[Williams] He was a real striker, and of course the most fruitful African-American architect of the 20th century, of course in California, “Penner said. To do work of this extraordinary level in 1927 is, I think, extraordinary. “

Gina Guerra has lived home with her family since they were for $ 2.07 in 1999.

Guerra told The Post that the family focused on the restaurant, rather than renovating, through years of ownership, although improvements in the kitchen and bathroom were needed.

Guerra added the wide green space of property and many greenhouses turned it into a thirsty gardener.

“Now I’m in the Program of Judgment of the American Garden Club for Gardening, so it really rejected me in this whole that I never expected in my life,” Guerra said. “I hope another family moves, raises their children here and loves it the way we do.”
