J.Y. Baruh House c. 1925 by Gordon Kaufmann. An exquisitely preserved early work of the famed architect displaying all his signature Mediterranean glamour. A strong facade with corner entrance shields the interior and grounds from the street, creating a serene haven behind. A striking black and white marble foyer opens to a long center hall. Framed through an original stone surround, the living room is the focal point of the expanse, flanked on either side by library/office with original casework and romantic double height staircase on the other. The formal Living Room is adorned by original vaulted mouldings, an original fireplace mantel, and opens to a vintage Terrazzo tiled loggia over-looking the flat grassy yard and pool. Behind intricately hand carved original doors, a meticulously restored paneled dining room of grand proportion also sports original Saltillo tile flooring. The updated island kitchen with top of the line appliances opens to a dramatic outdoor colonnade and fabulous family room with work nook. Ascending the main stairs to a gracious landing, the primary bedroom is a warm retreat replete with details including an elegant fireplace, Juliet balcony, cedar walk-in closet, dual vanity sink, spa shower, and clawfoot tub. 4 guest bedrooms are variously detailed with tray ceilings, built-in desks, and walk-in closets. A sitting room adjacent to the primary suite, laundry room, and storage room complete the upper level. A covered saltwater pool & spa, 2-car garage, and porte-cochere make this the ultimate Hancock Park jewel.
