Property Description
Huge Price Reduction! This is an extraordinary opportunity to Lease or own a bit of history. Originally built for the legendary children's author Theodore Geisel, known worldwide as Dr. Seuss. This lot and home were chosen for its orientation to provide impressive views from virtually every room and angle inside and outside the property. Situated on the top of famed Wonder View Drive in Lake Hollywood, this extraordinary home will stir your emotions with endless, breathtaking views of the Downtown LA skyline, the San Fernando Valley, Lake Hollywood Reservoir, Cahuenga Peak, and the majestic Santa Monica, and San Gabriel Mountain ranges. A masterful floorplan designed by its current owner provides a seamless sense of elegance and comfort for living and entertaining. The expansive, stately living room is accented with a hand-carved wood fireplace and gorgeous, leaded, beveled-cut glass doors. The spacious family room with ample cabinetry and built-in bookcases integrates perfectly with the kitchen, dining room, and living room. An enormous, impressive kitchen thoughtfully designed with designer appliances, excellent counter space, a large center island, three sinks, and two dishwashers. The formal dining room is simply elegant, with a crystal chandelier and jaw-dropping views for you and your guests to enjoy. There are three bedrooms and three baths on the main floor and an additional bedroom and bath on the lower floor, perfect for live-in help, a teenager who wants privacy, or a visiting family member. The entire second level is a sumptuous and lovely primary retreat with a fireplace, uncompromising views toward downtown, and a large private deck that looks over the valley, perfect for sunsets and fireworks shows from Universal Studios. It is complete with a large private sitting area or den with hand-carved wood doors and custom lighting accents. Adjacent to the suite is an additional room that can be used as an exercise room, office, 7th bedroom or nursery. The spacious primary bath has a large double vanity, makeup sitting area, spa tub, and separate steam shower. The elevator is conveniently connected to both levels. The immense walk-in closet is like a boutique store with cabinets, shelves, and fabulous clothes hanging and shoe storage. Outdoors was designed for southern California living, whether entertaining, having intimate dinner parties, or hosting lavish fundraisers for more than 200 people. The terraced area features expansive patios, a solar-heated pool & spa, a built-in BBQ, seating for any size party, and even an orchard with fruit trees, a variety of succulents, and cacti. Ideally located near four major studios, hiking trails, and the Lake Hollywood Reservoir.
