Property Description

Perched on a coveted private corner lot in the heart of Los Feliz, Villa Palazzetto is a rare offering -- an exquisitely preserved 1925 Mediterranean estate with rich Hollywood history and timeless elegance. Formerly home to legendary director and screenwriter Delmer Daves, this walled and gated compound blends grandeur, privacy, and charm just moments from Griffith Park, the Greek Theatre, and all the vibrant shops and restaurants of Los Feliz Village. From the moment you enter the soaring two-story foyer, the home's scale is undeniable. Grand rooms with high ceilings, architectural detailing, and sweeping staircases set the tone. The living room, anchored by a French stone fireplace, captures expansive views of Downtown Los Angeles, while the formal dining room and library offer both sophistication and warmth.The chef's kitchen is outfitted with a center island and breakfast area, opening to a media room that flows seamlessly to the outdoors, where a heated dining pavilion, an outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ, and a resort-style saltwater pool and jacuzzi await. Finished in stunning mosaic tile and surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the backyard is as functional as it is beautiful.Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself complete with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, a spa-like bathroom with heated floors, and breathtaking views. Two additional ensuite guest rooms also enjoy privacy and stunning vistas. The lower level features a guest or mother-in-law suite with its own private entrance and three bedrooms, thoughtfully situated two floors below the primary -- an invaluable layout for households that regularly host extended family or long-term guests.Among the home's other cherished features are a top-of-the-line dual-fuel Generac generator, abundant storage throughout, and even a charming original laundry chute -- a detail the current owners lovingly admit they'll miss most. Located directly across from the Berendo Stairs, one of Los Angeles's storied "secret staircases," the property enjoys a rare combination of historic charm, architectural drama, and modern comfort. Majestic, romantic, and steeped in legacy, Villa Palazzetto is a true Los Feliz treasure offering the serenity of a private hillside estate with the heartbeat of the city just outside your door.
