356 S Rossmore Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90020

This stately home with incredible architectural elements, brings the best of historic architecture to Hancock Park. Built in 1920 by famed architect Arthur Rolland Kelly of The Playboy Mansion, for Arthur Letts Jr. of The Broadway Department Store family, it is one of the earliest residences built in the area still in existence. Character filled and timeless, this corner estate nestled on nearly a half an acre lot, is where Golden Era charm meets an idyllic garden retreat. It is no accident that it was once marketed in the 1920's as a "Beautiful English" and an "estate in the city". Perched high above famed Rossmore Avenue and set back from the street, your heart will soar the moment you arrive where you are greeted by stained glass windows, and pulled to a world of lush landscaping, perfectly placed pool, guest house and storied pedigree. Its unique L shaped layout leads you outside from many vantage points, and the floor plan has a remarkable ease and grace. Giving space where needed while always inviting loved ones together. Warm, natural light abounds throughout, reflecting off rich, peg and groove hardwood floors, welcoming you to an expansive front room complete with a handsome fireplace and carved moldings. Serenity continues as you drift away the days reading your favorite book in the solarium-like office, complete with floor to ceiling shelving, perfect for any bibliophile. Move into the expansive living room where you and yours can cozy up, hang and entertain adj
