A stunning mid-century time capsule designed by renowned architect William E. Foster, circa 1948. Situated in the coveted Knolls neighborhood in Los Feliz on a corner lot with a lushly landscaped flat backyard with room for a pool. Step back in time as you enter through the nautical front door into the warm and inviting entry hall with walls adorned by rich and exotic wood paneling and centered by an original glass light fixture. The grand living room features craftsmanship of a bygone era such as rare wood paneling, original terrazzo flooring (throughout), built-in shelving, a reading nook, and oversized wood glass sliders that seamlessly open to a tranquil covered brick patio with a built-in barbeque. The open, relaxed dining area highlights a brick-walled decorative fireplace and a wet bar with a stainless ice bin and custom glass holders. The vintage kitchen affords rounded shelving with stainless steel accents, an inlaid cutting board, linoleum flooring, and a built-in cabinet with a pass bar. Off the kitchen is a roomy laundry room with ample cabinetry. There are two generously sized matching bedroom suites both with wall-to-wall built-in dressers and cedar-lined closets, warm wood paneling and shelving, and baths with chic and glamorous built-in vanities. Both baths have original tiles and sinks, sunken soaking tubs with showers, and period-etched glass partitions. The garage has been converted to a den/guest room with an open beamed ceiling and a full bath. Upgrades include a newer mini-split energy-efficient air conditioning and heating system, and a tankless water heater. Just blocks away from Maru Coffee, Little Doms, All Time, and the hiking trails in Griffith Park. In the Franklin Avenue Elementary School District. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own this architectural treasure.
