1982 Normandie

Set along a quiet rise in Los Feliz, this 1926 Spanish Colonial balances historic character with thoughtful, material-driven updates. Guided by principles of biophilic design, the home fosters a natural harmony with light, air, and landscape, evoking a sense of peace and calm - a true escape from the pace and intensity of daily life.Lime-washed walls by Portola and soft tones from Farrow & Ball create a warm, enveloping backdrop, while quartzite and limestone surfaces paired with Waterworks fixtures lend a tactile richness to the kitchen and baths. The home unfolds with an intuitive, effortless flow. An arched living room opens to a sunlit dining area overlooking the garden and distant skyline, bringing a feeling of ease throughout the day.Upstairs, private suites extend to marble-tiled terraces finished in Zia stone, framing sweeping vistas of Griffith Observatory and the surrounding hills, spaces that feel both expansive and intimate. The lower level offers a more introspective retreat, with a screening room, guest quarters, and sauna perfect for slowing down, unwinding, or hosting with intention.The hillside, envisioned by Terremoto, transforms into a series of immersive moments. Redwood decking, native plantings, edible gardens, and a cedar soaking tub encourage a daily ritual of grounding and connection. Minutes from Los Feliz Village, The Greek Theatre, and Griffith Park, the home strikes a rare blend of seclusion and access to Los Angeles' most iconic natural and cultural landmarks.Extensive upgrades include a restored clay tile roof, tankless hot water heater, air purification, dual-pane wood windows, and fully integrated smart home infrastructure.
