Perched high in the Los Feliz hills, this unique property has been given new life by contemporary visionaries. This 4,220 square foot architectural estate includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms. Designed by architect Amir Farr and recently updated by Dennis Smith of Buff and Hensman, the property blends original mid-century elements with stunning new upgrades. Priced at $4,995,000, 2291 N Hobart Blvd is listed by Edward Faktorovich and Peyton Ayers at Figure 8 Realty.
The home’s architectural style reflects its origin, with a bold use of glass, steel, and brick. A winding open-riser staircase with iron railing anchors the home’s layout, while bridges connect lofted spaces with second-floor rooms. These features, visible from the main entry and ground floor hallway, give the home dynamic character.
The entryway is marked by an earthy tiled floor and natural light flooding in from multiple angles. The vaulted skylight, a clear reference to the home’s 1970s roots, brightens the space and sets the tone for the open, airy interior.
From the hallway, the home opens to a spacious living room lined with wall-to-wall windows. Views of the hills and Griffith Observatory are framed through expansive glass panels. Exposed wood beam ceilings meet floor-to-ceiling brick walls with an integrated fireplace. The striking exterior archways are also visible from the living space.
The dining room sits adjacent to the living area, maintaining an open and connected floor plan. High ceilings and natural light give the space a bright, uncluttered feel. The simple, modern layout allows for seamless transitions between dining and living areas.
The kitchen features low-profile hardwood cabinetry paired with ivory countertops and a matching backsplash. Integrated appliances are built into the streamlined layout. The refrigerator is camouflaged within the cabinetry for a seamless appearance. Burners are set directly into the countertop, and a large kitchen island includes a sink and additional workspace. The mix of warm wood, brick, and sleek surfaces continues, maintaining visual consistency throughout the home.
The primary suite is west-facing, offering direct sunset views and a clear line of sight through the iconic backyard archways. Large windows open to the lush, surrounding grounds. The bedroom features modern stone tile flooring and an understated interior that prioritizes open space and clean lines. An en-suite bathroom includes a skylight and minimalist, contemporary finishes.
This one-of-a-kind home is equipped with countless updated amenities, including solar panels for energy efficiency and a private sauna connected to the primary bath. Located just minutes away from Vermont and Hillhurst, the tranquil estate is a beautiful example of how mid-century design and contemporary living can come together.
