The Oliver R. Fuller estate, and East L.A. icon of architecture, has just come to market with an asking price of $15.9 million. Constructed in 1929, the home seamlessly blends the grandeur of Mediterranean estates with the allure of old Hollywood glamour.
Nestled behind gates, this Spanish Colonial Revival estate, designed by Harry Hayden Whiteley, boasts six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms on a nearly acre-sized lot, offering sweeping views that stretch across the L.A. basin and beyond. Unique features include a two-story rotunda-style entry, hand-painted artistry, Baronial step-down living room and a balcony overlooking the pool.
A light-filled library adorned with a honeycombed coffered ceiling, stained glass, fireplace, and a Prohibition-style bookcase bar adds to its allure. The equally majestic dining room boasts a hand-stenciled wood ceiling and French doors to a covered veranda. Ascend an upper landing that leads to five bedroom suites. Each suite is a sanctuary, renovated with an unwavering commitment to preserving the 1920s charm.
The primary retreat is complete with a fireplace, spa-like bathroom and two walk-in dressing closets. A guest house boasts one bedroom and two baths along with a living room, kitchenette and front porch.
