Villa Collina in the Los Feliz district
Villa Collina is an extraordinary, recently completed restoration of an iconic Mediterranean masterpiece dating from around 1927, originally built for Clement E. Smoot by renowned architect Henry Harwood Hewitt.
This authentic and spectacular old-world Tuscan castle sits in an epic setting on a huge flat hilltop lot in the Los Feliz neighborhood, overlooking the Griffith Observatory and wooded hills on one side, and the downtown skyline on the other.
The formal turret entrance leads to an extraordinary open-plan dining room and living room, with original handmade tiles, a fireplace and numerous French windows opening onto an immense extended observation terrace, anchored by a superb gazebo overlooking the city's sparkling lights.
The kitchen, equipped with chef's appliances and a brand-new sub-zero, is enhanced by a built-in breakfast nook and French doors.
Upstairs, 3 D.B. and 2 B.A., the master suite with living room and magnificent renovated white luxury bathroom, the long vaulted hallway and the remarkable guest bedroom with views on three sides.
Upstairs in the tower bedroom provides a private office or relaxation area.
On the lower level, a separate hotel-style guest apartment has been recently refurbished and doubles as a luxurious, oversized spa.
Fully tiled Roman pool, extensive grassy courtyards, separate spa and fountains; terrace with sauna.
Lower lot paths wind through the nearly one-acre property with gardens, hard landscaping and fountains.
An unrivalled experience: a superb vintage character floating in the sky!
