So many of our featured properties in the Hollywood Hills are Mid-Century Moderns or sleek all-white and metal Contemporary style pads. And while the occasional Spanish home sneaks in, this Home of the Week is rare for its architectural style: French Regency.
Built in the 1940’s by influential Los Feliz and Hollywood Hills architect Louis Seldon, this home features four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Located at 2534 Park Oak Dr in the increasingly prestigious “Oaks” neighborhood surrounding Griffith Park, the total floor area encompasses nearly 3,300 square feet.
Pull into the large diamond-paver driveway and walk up the stone path, under the shade of ample trees and a plush green lawn, where you’ll arrive at the inviting pale purple front door.
Enter to find dark hardwoods throughout and wrought-iron railed staircase leading up to the second floor.
Take a left to enter the large and inviting step-down living room where an impressive fireplace provides literal and figurative warmth. A huge bay window allows for ample natural light to pour in and offers sweeping views of the Hills.
To the left of the entrance lies a formal dining room with chandelier, big enough to sit at least ten guests.
Attached you’ll find another eating area anchored by a leather banquette and open to the truly stunning… 
…chef’s kitchen. All new stainless professional grade appliances, from a massive industrial size Thermador refrigerator to a six burner Viking range and Miele dishwasher. Dark mahogany countertops, custom cabinets and chef’s block finish off the perfect place for any entertainer, home cook or private chef to show off their chops.
Upstairs you’ll find a landing with sitting area. Enter the ample-sized master suite, complete with private balcony and original tile bath, shower and sink, updated with shiny new hardware and a vanity.
The second bedroom with en-suite is certainly large enough to double as a second master. Surrounding windows let in light and the updated bathroom has white tiled floors and a nature-scape wallpaper that somehow feels thoroughly modern and on the cutting edge of interior design.
The other bedroom and baths maintain this designers edge, as do a small office and big family room, complete with additional fireplace and attached, covered al-fresco dining patio.
This patio opens to the enormous outdoor space, with a massive swimmers pool and attached spa. A brick built-in grill is easily accessible to the kitchen or outdoor eating areas.
Above the pool area you’ll find a hilly green lawn, providing access to views of the Hollywood sign and surrounding tranquil neighborhood.
Per the Listing, this property truly is a “a celebration of Old Hollywood glamour” and rightly predicts this “simple enchanting” home won’t last long.
