This stunning historic Los Feliz Art Nouveau Estate is a masterpiece of historical elegance and modern refinement. The magnificent mansion designed by architect A.F. Leicht offers an array of amenities that showcase the architect’s vision for luxury living. Known as “The Castle” the opulent estate is not only situated across the street from Frank Lloyd Wrights’ “Ennis House,” but it also has a colorful story of its own.

Leicht designed the structure in the 1920s, and since then, it has been home to many celebrities, musicians and other high-profile people. Some famous inhabitants who have owned the property are Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, John Philip Law and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Flea sold the house in the early 2000s to John Gilbert Getty, son of billionaire oil heir Gordon Getty, a musician himself. Perched atop a hillside in one of Southern California’s most prestigious neighborhoods, this property offers breathtaking views of the cityscape from downtown to the ocean. This historic Art Nouveau mansion on nearly two-acre grounds features meticulously landscaped surroundings.

Public rooms in this home are nothing short of awe-inspiring. The Living Room is a majestic 2 story space with stunning barrel-vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The octagonal lounge/study rooms offer panoramic views of the serene private acreage. With endless expanses of glass, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of Los Angeles as you take in the unobstructed views.

The grandeur of the interior is accentuated by intricate details of the Egyptian-inspired geometric pillars and repeating arched passageways, overseen by curving gilded ceilings.

The dining room features arched doorways and floor-to-ceiling glass, perfect for grand dinner parties and events. The beautiful bedroom suites are ideal for those who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of LA life. With their own private entrance and bathroom, they offer a sense of privacy that cannot be found elsewhere.

This incredible estate features a gated motor court and porte-cochere that lead to separate residences, including the main residence, garage, studio apartment and guest apartment. With meandering pathways that lead you through lush gardens and past a basketball court, this breathtaking property offers something for everyone looking to make a statement. The rooftop deck offers panoramic views from downtown LA to the ocean. A second flat lot provides the endless potential to add further living space and amenities. The timeless beauty of this compound will ensure its appeal for years to come.
