2400 INVERNESS AVENUE, LOS ANGELES CA 90027

The opulent Oliver R. Fuller Estate, a Spanish Colonial Revival, shielded by refined wrought iron gates, was envisioned by the renowned architect Harry Hayden Whiteley, AIA, in 1929. The driveway is a private and elegant pathway to the estate's entrance. Seamlessly combining the grandeur of a classic Mediterranean estate with the enchantment of old Hollywood allure, the estate and it's guest house sit on over 39,000 feet of lush grounds. Offering 6 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, the estate proudly occupies an LA footprint alongside the Griffith Observatory with stunning panoramic views that extend across the LA basin and beyond. It transcends time, and offers one the ability to retreat to privacy and peace. The two-story rotunda-style entry with hand-painted artistry, a ceiling that casts an enduring charm, and a sweeping staircase that evokes the nostalgia of a bygone era are just the beginning. The Baronial step-down living room, with an ornate fireplace and unique detail, opens to French doors revealing a balcony that overlooks the pool, spa, and Los Angeles. The light-filled library, adorned with a honeycombed coiffured ceiling, stained glass, fireplace, and a Prohibition-style hidden bar, adds to the property's allure. The large dining room captures the views and boasts a hand-stenciled wood ceiling, and glass doors to a covered veranda--where one secretly can enjoy the city below and the warmth of a crackling fireplace behind. The massive cook's kitchen, complete with a Butler's pantry, commercial-grade appliances, and an oversized island, adds a touch of modern convenience. Ascend the wrought iron-clad circular staircase to an upper landing for a mesmerizing view of the rotunda below. Five exquisitely designed bedroom suites, are meticulously renovated with an unwavering commitment to modern amenities, and charm. The master retreat featuring a fireplace and a spa-like bathroom adorned with stained glass, captures breathtaking views to the ocean. Descending to the pool level, one finds an entertainer's paradise - a spacious media room, home gym, 2500+ bottle wine cellar, and 2-baths, one with sauna. Nestled privately above the estate, a 1-bedroom and 2-bathroom guest house, is found by meandering through a secret garden pathway. Featuring a living room, kitchenette, front porch, and city and rooftop views, literally a 'over-the-top' perfect guest residence, home office or studio. Truly, nothing else compares to this estate.
