Set amidst exquisitely manicured grounds in Hancock Park, this rare 1928 estate by the distinguished architectural firm of Dedrick, Bobbe & Dolena has been masterfully restored and reimagined by June Street Architecture. Showcasing the timeless elegance, gracious scale, and architectural refinement that would later define James Dolena's most celebrated works - including Casa Encantada, The Boddy House, and the Walt Disney Estate - the residence stands as an early chapter in his enduring architectural legacy. Recently featured in Architectural Digest, the estate is a rare expression of historic architecture thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Rich in authentic architectural detail, the home reflects the refined architectural language that became synonymous with James Dolena's enduring legacy. Newly executed parquet floors inspired by the original design, bottle-glass windows, arched loggias, and intricate plaster ceilings create a timeless sense of character, thoughtfully balanced with modern comforts. A stone vestibule opens to a dramatic checkerboard-tiled foyer with groin-vaulted ceilings. The step-down formal living room features a grand hand-carved stone mantel, soaring ceiling heights, and intimate pocket vignettes, all framed by French doors opening to the olive tree-lined central courtyard. The stunning kitchen is appointed with honed Calacatta Monet marble, custom fixtures, and warm metallic tones. Connected to the formal dining room, the light-filled space flows seamlessly into a Butler's pantry, sunroom, and an exquisite breakfast room distinguished by concentric hexagonal flooring and shell-inspired corner niches. The main residence additionally features an office and dual powder rooms. Designed with exceptional versatility, the newly constructed ADU wing offers a light-filled family room or gym, a cabana-style bath with direct pool access, and two-bedroom accommodations, with the ability to function either independently or as a seamless extension of the main residence. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers dressing rooms, a marble bath, and serene garden outlooks. Two additional ensuite bedrooms complete the upper level, including one with a private balcony. Additional amenities include a lower-level movie theatre with powder room and independent access from the eight-car motor court. The resort-like grounds feature mature trees, covered walkways, a central courtyard with a stone fountain, wrought-iron gates, a private pool, bocce court, and outdoor kitchen. A rare convergence of provenance, restoration, and livable grandeur, this estate stands as a quietly spectacular chapter in Hancock Park's architectural legacy.
