1100 S La Jolla Avenue

Experience the many architectural delights of this stunning Spanish Colonial Revival "Mills Act" property! The house, which sits on a corner lot, was built in 1934 by Spyros Ponty as a showcase home for the then burgeoning neighborhood development. A dramatic entryway with 15-foot ceiling welcomes you leading to an expansive living room with stenciled ceilings, a large fireplace, a beautiful stained glass window, and original hardwood flooring. The dining room, overlooking the front courtyard fountain, is unique for its detailed moldings and specialized plaster work and is separated from the kitchen by an elaborately carved wooden door. The well appointed kitchen was designed for entertaining with a dining nook, luxury appliances, and plenty of storage. Across from the dining room you will find a cozy den with fireplace, a built in library, and French doors opening to the South courtyard featuring mosaic details and a fireplace. You will enjoy an elaborate stained-glass skylight in the large atrium center of the home which connects 3 sizable bedrooms, 2 with ensuite baths. The primary suite adjoins the extra-large bath with original Art Deco tiling and has built in cabinets, a walk in closet, and sliding French doors that overlook the sparkling pool. The backyard was recently updated with a resurfaced pool, flagstone patio, and a luxury grill with wine fridge beside the covered lounge area. The middle South facing bedroom is flooded with light, overlooks the courtyard and also has a large walk in closet. Move right in to the home affectionately referred to by the neighbors as the "house with the blue shutters" located in the heart of the South Carthay HPOZ, close to Beverly Hills, LACMA, & the Farmers Market. (Please note that the property is offered unfurnished.)
