The Victor Rosetti Residence is tucked in the Los Feliz Oaks near Griffith Park and was designed in 1928 by the legendary architect Paul Williams for Victor Rosetti, president of Farmers & Merchants Bank. Back then, construction costs were just forty-seven thousand dollars — and today it stands as one of Los Angeles’ true architectural treasures.
Step inside this two-and-a-half-story Roaring Twenties estate where every corner tells a story. You’ll find coffered and stenciled ceilings, elaborately carved doors, plasterwork, and ornamental iron details — all anchored by a dramatic sweeping staircase. There’s a cozy wood-paneled library, three ornate fireplaces, a wine room, and colorful stained-glass windows. The kitchen still has its original floor-to-ceiling tiles, now paired with modern appliances that blend seamlessly with the home’s charm.
Downstairs, there’s even a pub nook and private arcade — the perfect hideaway for entertaining.
Awarded Los Angeles Historic Monument status in 2008, the property spans almost an acre with ten bedrooms, twelve baths, a one-bedroom pool house, and an additional 1500 sq ft guest home with another pool right in the middle. That’s correct, there are 2 pools! Outside feels like a resort with a double-sided fireplace and outdoor kitchen for al fresco dining. You’ll even find a secret garden with a koi pond, citrus grove, fountains, and a barrel-tiled pergola .
With two gated entrances, parking for twenty-five cars, and a rich Hollywood past, this architectural gem is listed at $21.5 million.
