Property Description

:: Architect Frankie Faulkner, Circa 1929 :: Gracefully poised among the rolling hills of Studio City, with panoramic vistas stretching across the Hollywood Hills, this extraordinary Spanish residence by pioneering architect Frankie Faulkner stands as a rare and enduring expression of Los Angeles' romantic architectural legacy. Designed in 1929, the home represents an exceptional chapter in the city's history not only for its timeless craftsmanship, but for the remarkable story behind its creation. At a time when female architects were exceedingly uncommon, Faulkner was commissioned by a woman to design this private residence without the customary approval or oversight of a male patron, an extraordinary act of independence that quietly challenged the conventions of its era. Nearly a century later, the home begins its next chapter, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living while honoring the integrity of its original design. Ascending the hillside, newly constructed stairs wind through mature, verdant landscaping to a welcoming front porch, offering the first of many tranquil moments to take in the sweeping canyon and hillside views. Inside, the dramatic living room serves as the architectural heart of the home, anchored by a soaring bow truss ceiling and an original fireplace adorned with beautifully preserved Malibu tiles- striking period details that speak to the home's exceptional provenance. Rich natural light fills the adjoining dining room, where original French doors create a seamless connection to the outdoor entertaining spaces. The recently renovated kitchen balances modern function with timeless character, featuring an AGI range, Bosch refrigerator, new countertops, and custom soft-close cabinetry. A graceful Spanish archway maintains visual connection to the living room while framing views toward the outdoor kitchen beyond. Designed for today's flexible lifestyle, the expansive step-down guest suite includes a private sitting area and its own exterior entrance, creating an ideal space for guests, extended family, or a dedicated home office. A meticulously preserved Art Deco bathroom showcases its original vibrant tile work alongside carefully selected period-correct lighting and fixtures, while the primary suite offers a beautifully refreshed bath complete with dual vanities, a generous soaking tub, and separate shower. In 1959, the property was thoughtfully expanded with an attached one-bedroom guest house, complete with a full kitchen,
