This meticulously restored 1926 Spanish house in the Franklin Hills offers spectacular views of the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Hills. Andalusian tiles, Moorish lanterns, built-in alcoves, glass doorknobs, arched windows, black iron railings: This tranquil home is steeped in character. Step through the front door and take in the sweeping view of L.A. from the upstairs entry hall, then walk through an archway into the open living room, dining room and kitchen, which is well equipped with high-end appliances and a soapstone countertop. From there, two sets of French doors lead to a large terrace overlooking the city with ample room for outdoor dining. Walk back through the entry hall to the upstairs bedroom with its built-in Douglas fir bookshelves, along with a full bath. A screen door leads to a back porch with another stunning view. Three skylights, each with remote-control shades, keep the upstairs bedroom and living area bright and cheerful. Downstairs, you'll find a primary suite with a large sitting area, walk-in closet and full bath with striking tile patterns that capture the aesthetic of silent-film-era Hollywood. (Similar tile work in the upstairs bathroom and kitchen is equally beautiful.) The serene and private hillside backyard, partly shaded by olive trees, a jacaranda and cherry laurel hedges, is covered with succulents and other drought-tolerant plants. On hot summer days, the downstairs porch off the master suite with red terracotta and cobalt blue tiles provides a cool sanctuary and yet another city view. Lanterns dangling from branches of a sapote tree cast a magical light at night. At the bottom of the hillside is a separate Spanish-style garage with a casement window framed by Moroccan lattice wood shutters. Next to the window is a tall cactus thriving in the sunniest section of this large corner lot. The home's 2014 restoration, fully permitted, was designed by renowned Spanish Revival architects Diane Wilk and Michael Burch. This house is strolling distance to Sunset Junction in Silverlake and to the shops and restaurants along Vermont and Hillhurst avenues in Los Feliz. It's also a short ride to Downtown L.A. and Hollywood.
