435 South Rossmore Avenue, Hancock Park
Lovingly restored to its original grandeur, this Mediterranean-inspired Hancock Park estate presents an outstanding opportunity for those who appreciate privacy, historic style, and impeccable attention to detail. Situated on a tranquil street with broad parkways and classic street lamps, the residence was built in 1922 and commands a lasting presence with a large lawn, slate-lined circular drive, and gated porte cochere leading to a private drive. The residence welcomes visitors with an artful blend of details reminiscent of the past: original and rare "tiger stripe" original hardwood floors throughout, original hand-crafted plaster moldings, custom etched-glass doors, solid brass hardware, plantation shutters, ornate lighting fixtures, original staircase with restored mahogany banister, a hand-made tile fireplace by famed Pasadena artisan Batchelder, pocket doors, and a powder room with hand painted, gold gilt Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper. The 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath home reveals a graciously flowing floor plan touched with formal and informal spaces: a classic gallery entry, formal living room, dining room that seats up to 10, and a light-filled den with wet bar featuring marble countertops in approximately 5,800 square feet. Designed for genuine chefs, an island kitchen boasts hand-painted Italian tile, double Dutch doors, breakfast room, custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances from Wolf, Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and Thermador. Retaining the character of the home, a spacious pool room was thoughtfully added in 2010 and embellished with beamed ceilings and clever built-in bench seating with extra storage. Outside, the backyard is shrouded in privacy and graced by an original "Lazy L" pool, flat lawn, serenity garden, a terrace with hand-laid Blue Mountain slate, automatic awnings, 3 storage units, and a pool/guest house with bath and prepping for future kitchen.
