House for sale - Los Angeles (United States)
Few homes in Los Angeles carry a century of distinction as gracefully as the Seyler House. Designed by Stiles O. Clements and perched on a hillside on one of Los Feliz' most storied streets, this 1922 Spanish Colonial Revival estate sits on nearly 1.5 acres of terraced grounds. This transportive residence made its Architectural Digest debut in August 1924, just two years after completion. It returned to the magazine's pages in 1998, documenting Tim Curry's meticulous restoration of the property's original details: exposed wood-beam ceilings, hand-painted surfaces, stained-glass windows, iridescent copper, and vintage tile. The years have brought a remarkable procession of custodians, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Noah Wyle, Robert Pattinson, Jim Parsons, and Aaron Paul, who engaged Commune Design in 2019 to bring the property forward without disturbing their century of character. The inside is arranged with the measured confidence of Spanish Colonial design at its most resolved, delightfully adding a secret passageway to a speakeasy behind a combination vault. Akin to a verdant park, the grounds cascade to DTLA skyline views and unfold across a freeform pool, flat grassy pads, fire pits, a koi pond, a cold plunge, spa, and a natural amphitheater that feels drawn from somewhere between Andalusia and the Santa Monica Mountains. The Seyler House has been too well-tended, by too many people who understood what they were holding, to ask anything of its next owner but appreciation. Timeless, idyllic, awe-inspiring, extraordinary, unforgettable. Google Maps/Waze Want to know more?
