Extensively renovated and expanded Mediterranean home, gracefully set above the street on a prime corner lot in the heart of Hancock Park. Blending timeless architecture with modern comfort, this two-story residence offers sophistication, warmth, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Expanded in the 1950s by famed architect John Lautner, the home retains its distinctive character while featuring an open design ideal for today's lifestyle. Sliding glass walls open to a lush backyard with a expansive grassy lawn, swimmer's pool, putting green, and private bonus office or gym. The main level features a grand two-story entry, formal living room with fireplace and French doors to a sunny patio, a gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar and casual dining area. The adjacent Lautner-designed den includes a fireplace and sunken wet bar. A main-level suite functions as a guest retreat or secondary primary bedroom, complete with a luxurious bathroom, 2 walk-in closets, and built-in Murphy bed. A powder room, laundry room, and large pantry with wine frig complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite enjoys its own wing with dual walk-in closets, spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and oversized shower, and a private patio overlooking the grounds. Three additional bedrooms (one en-suite) plus a hall bath complete the upper level. Enjoy the Wilshire Country Club's annual fireworks from your own backyard. Ideally located between the Country Club and Los Angeles Tennis Club, this home also holds Hollywood history as the former residence of film director Robert Aldrich. Coveted 3rd St Elementary Schoo
