Property Description

The Van Ness Estate is a rare 1912 Arts & Crafts compound set on more than half an acre in Windsor Square, surrounded by mature, beautifully layered gardens. Defined by architectural integrity, privacy, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, it offers a timeless vision of California living - thoughtfully refined for modern life.The property unfolds across five distinct structures: the main residence, a two-bedroom guest house with fireplace and full kitchen, a poolside pavilion with gym and underground wine cellar, a private studio or office, and a plumbed garden structure. Original millwork in quarter-sawn oak, Honduran mahogany, and redwood along with stained-glass windows and two handcrafted tile fireplaces establish a rich architectural foundation, while carefully considered updates introduce contemporary comfort with quiet sophistication. Inside the main residence, a grand oak-paneled entry opens to formal and relaxed living spaces. An elegant living room flows through glass-paneled pocket doors into a dramatic sunken library with fireplace and cathedral ceiling made of Honduran mahogany. The formal dining room - complete with its original built-in sideboard - over looks an expansive patio. The kitchen features custom maple cabinetry and top-tier appliances, opening to a sunlit breakfast room with tranquil views of the pool and grounds. Upstairs, five sunny bedrooms and three baths include a serene primary suite designed as a true retreat, with adjoining spaces for work, reading, or wellness.Outdoors, the landscape is composed as a series of enchanting garden rooms, artfully linked by winding paths and vine-covered pergolas. A park-like native California garden, fireplace terrace with pizza oven, Moroccan-inspired courtyard, bamboo shade garden, and three tranquil fountains introduce layers of texture and contrast, while a canopy of mature trees provides privacy and a sense of permanence. At the center, a 45-foot pool and spa are framed by dining terraces and shaded lounges, evoking the calm and refinement of a private resort.Located just blocks from Larchmont Village - with its boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and weekly farmers market - the estate offers both convenience and a quintessential Los Angeles lifestyle. A truly rare offering, the Van Ness Estate brings together heritage craftsmanship, privacy, and modern livability within historic Windsor Square - uniting architectural significance with the scale of a true compound in one of the area's most distinguished residential settings.
