Introducing The Clifford Clinton Residence (HCM 997), a landmark 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival designed by renowned architect Arthur W. Larson and once home to Clifford Clinton, founder of the iconic Clifton's Cafeteria. Set behind an impressive 230-foot gated and hedged frontage in the heart of Los Feliz, this storied estate offers exceptional privacy and a dramatic sense of arrival.Rich in original architectural character, the residence showcases Juliette balconies, decorative ironwork, artisan stained glass, magnesite floors, peg-and-groove hardwood, and expansive tiled patios and courtyards that capture the romance of classic Southern California Spanish design. A grand two-story entry stairwell leads to beautifully scaled public rooms including a step-down living room with coffered ceilings and massive fireplace, a baronial dining room with stained glass picture window, and a charming kitchen and butler's pantry highlighted by rare robin's egg blue original tile and vintage fixtures. A stately office with hand-stenciled ceilings and fireplace sits privately off the main staircase.The second level features four generous bedroom suites, each with colorful period tile baths and ornate plaster detailing, along with balconies and a sunroom overlooking palm-lined city views. The lower level offers additional entertaining space including a screening room, cocktail lounge, and billiard room.In 1936, Clinton added the tiled Deco pool, sun deck, and bathhouse, creating a sun-filled outdoor retreat that remains a central gathering place today. A grassy knoll and shaded dining pavilion complement the entertaining grounds, while a separate gated driveway leads to a motor court, three-car garage, and additional parking.Lovingly restored over the past decade and benefiting from Mills Act tax incentives, this over 6,000-square-foot estate with six bedrooms represents a rare opportunity to own one of Los Feliz's most historic and romantic residences, an extraordinary legacy property from the neighborhood's golden era.
