Property Description
Welcome to the Ames Residence - Streamline Moderne luxury reimagined. Originally designed in 1937 by renowned architect William E. Meyer, the visionary behind the iconic Lane Wells Building, this architectural gem has been masterfully restored, fully permitted, and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Located in the coveted Franklin Hills enclave of Los Feliz, this landmark-quality home sits on a generous 12,555 sq ft lot and offers 2,715 sq ft of elevated interior space. Inside, you'll find 4 spacious en suite bedrooms and a bright, dedicated office, all centered around a flowing open-concept living area. Expansive sliding steel pocket doors open to a private patio and lush, landscaped yard perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor California living. Every inch of the home has been carefully curated with high-end finishes: European white oak flooring, white oak cabinetry with integrated marble countertops and sinks, and a blend of hand-selected materials including marble, travertine, limestone, and Soli Japanese tiles. Two distinctive fire places - a wood-burning and gas fireplace in the primary suite and a custom gas fireplace in the living room bring warmth and architectural character. The designer kitchen is equipped with premium Miele appliances, Rohl fixtures, and stunning Italian Monet marble. The home's infrastructure has been fully modernized with new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and a tankless water heater ensuring lasting comfort and efficiency. Additional features include beautifully restored original steel windows, two versatile basement spaces ideal for storage, a wine cellar, or studio, and an attached two-car garage with a long driveway. The fully fenced yard with dual gates offers privacy, security, and charm.Reimagined by a husband-and-wife design team, the Ames Residence is a rare opportunity to own a residence that marries architectural heritage with modern functionality. Nestled in one of Los Feliz's most desirable neighborhoods and just moments from top-rated schools such as Franklin Avenue Elementary, shops, and dining, this is a home of true distinction.
