111 S Van Ness Avenue

About this residence

** The Van Ness Estate consists of three (3) contiguous legal parcels - 111 S. Van Ness Ave (Main Residence), 4814 W. 1st St. (Guest House), and 103 S. Van Ness Ave (The Gardens) - and is offered for sale only as a complete collection for $6,999,000. ** A rare 1912 Arts & Crafts compound, the Van Ness Estate is 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.
