2053 De Mille Dr

The Harper House by Kurt Meyer-Radon, architect/fine artist, 1929. Not on the market in over 70 years, this remarkable property lies across the street from the former C.B. DeMille and Charlie Chaplin estates. Generous front set-back from DeMille Drive. Overscale, step-down living room with fireplace opens to wide patio with views of Griffith Park, the Observatory and city lights. Long dining room with novel built-ins. 5 bedrooms; 4.5 baths; spacious primary suite with its own library/studio/office and fireplace. Kitchen with breakfast room and laundry; main-level maid's suite. Deep rear lawn with mature plantings and room for a pool extends to two double garages and separate, vintage recreation house with wet bar, fireplace and covered porch. Additional uncovered parking off the Laughlin Park Mews. Rich historical provenance. Restored, this home could rival anything comparable.
