New to market is the Frederick A. Hansen Residence, 1926. This French Normandy-style Cottage is an LA Historic-Cultural Monument #1031. A rare unmodified example of the Hollywood “Storybook House” this home boasts high hip roofs, protruding entry gable and facade of hand-trawled stucco with stone veneer.
The dramatic two-story living room includes a tall arched ceiling, period windows, peaked doors and wood-burning fireplace. Hansen was the principal architect for Forest Lawn and was responsible for the Great Mausoleum and the Wee Kirk O’Heather Chapel.
The main flooring of this character home encompasses a formal dining room, kitchen and one bedroom and bathroom. From the 1927 Sunset Magazine article about the Hansen Residence – “Machines and speed we must have of course, in our work-a-day world, but blessed be those who can return at nightfall to homes that have been fashioned by hands. Individuality has found interesting expression in this unusual little canyon cote.”
Upstairs is a converted attic/guest bedroom with exposed original beams and flooring. A brick and stone patio is surrounded by lush greenery and perfect for outdoor dining and lounging. See this one today!
