The Clifford Clinton Residence, HCM 997 is a stunning example of a historic Los Feliz Spanish Colonial Revival estate. This architectural masterpiece was designed by Arthur W. Larson in 1928 and has been carefully preserved over the years as a tribute to Clifford Clinton, who founded Clifton’s Cafeteria. Step into the grand entryway and be transported back to a time of effortless elegance and opulence.
This grand estate offers an escape to a world of a bygone era. Its exquisitely detailed features, from the hedged and gated wraparound frontage to the Juliette balconies, decorative ironwork, tiled courtyards and patios, and red clay rooflines speak of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Step into the grand entryway and be enchanted by the property’s timeless grandeur. Enter through a classic magnesite entryway into the formal living room, complete with a magnificent fireplace, stunning stained glass windows and elegant coffered ceiling. French doors open to reveal a spacious tiled veranda – the perfect spot to while away an afternoon.
The grandeur of the dining room is elevated even further by its beautiful stained glass picture window, which looks out onto a lush front courtyard. This intricate work of art acts as a portal to an outdoor paradise, with verdant greenery and vibrant flowers that make for a truly unforgettable view.
The decorative paneled office makes the perfect inspirational work-from-home experience and even has its own fireplace complete with a stenciled ceiling.
Step inside the kitchen and you’ll find yourself surrounded by exquisite details, from the rare robin’s egg blue original tile to the wooden countertops and lighting fixtures in the butler’s pantry. To complete your culinary experience, there is also a breakfast room where you can take in the sunshine and enjoy quick meals.
In 1936, Clinton commissioned the addition of a pool, sun deck and bath house to their property. This allowed neighborhood kids to enjoy all the fun and relaxation of summer swimming with his 3 children. The deco pool still sparkles with timeless character and charm, while the grassy knoll and dining pavilion provide a cozy spot to relax and enjoy meals with friends and family.
