Rare offerning in the historically designated "El Cabrillo", an exquisite and uniquely enviable combination of charm, history, privacy & detail. Built by Cecil B DeMille, designed by Arthur & Nina Zwebell. One of only 10 units, 1840 features a living room with 15' beamed ceiling, clerestory windows and a gas & wood burning fireplace. Balconies on 2 sides, with french doors & views west of courtyard and east of the Hollywood Hills & The Observatory. Thick plaster walls, lovely old hardwood floors, hand painted tile, detailed moldings and authentic ironwork imbue the space with the romance of a bygone era of grace and craftsmanship. Updated with modern conveniences, central HVAC, custom pullout kitchen ventilation, camouflaged dishwasher & refrigerator, stackable washer/dryer in the unit, and deeded on site garage parking. Low HOA dues and Mills Act tax relief mean significant reduction in ownership expenses. A very rare offering in a true piece of Los Angeles & Hollywood history!
