Step inside 1659 S Hobart Blvd and be transported to a bygone era of exquisite craftsmanship and architectural beauty. Built in 1906 by celebrated architect S Tildon Norton (Wilshire Temple, Greek Theater, Los Angeles Theater), this stunning historic home in the heart of Los Angeles County was originally commissioned by John Amastoy, whose family owned Encino Ranch since 1889. Located in the historic Harvard Heights neighborhood, known for its beautiful homes from the early 20th century, this property also benefits from a Mills Act designation, significantly reducing its property taxes. Every inch of this property exudes character and sophistication, from the original hardwood floors to the intricate molding and woodwork. Lovingly restored between 2013 and 2023, this property seamlessly blends historic features with modern updates. The main house has 5 bedrooms/4 bathrooms, features a formal living room with a decorative fireplace, parlor, formal dining room, kitchen/pantry, maid's quarters, five 2nd story bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, and large 3rd level attic ready to be taken to the next level. Large basement area perfect for extra storage. The fully restored, two-story carriage house is a standout feature, providing a perfect space for an office and gym, or guest house. This home, with over 5,000 sq ft of usable space, is a truly unique and special property that combines historic charm, modern convenience, and financial benefits.
