This iconic mid-century traditional gem, available for the first time in 46 years, is a rare find in the coveted Royal Oaks neighborhood. Built in the mid-1950s by a noted LA restaurateur during a golden era of American optimism, this entertainer's home embodies the exuberance, playfulness, and imagination of a time when Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra ruled the airwaves, the space program was capturing dreams of moon landings, and Disneyland was a symbol of boundless creativity. This home, with its seamless indoor-outdoor flow and effortless style, feels like a backdrop for glamorous cocktail parties where the Rat Pack might drop by. Inside, two wet bars and fossil rock fireplaces offer a touch of timeless sophistication, while the expansive rooms, black and jade slate flooring, and recently painted interiors evoke the classic elegance of a mid-century retreat. French doors open to a pool area that invites lively gatherings under the stars, surrounded by mature privacy landscaping. With 4 spacious bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (including two cabana baths), and a versatile bonus room, this home is both flexible and expansive, offering a huge attic space with a peaked roof perfect for future additions. The sprawling corner lot, with its front lawn ready to be enclosed for children's play or pets, is brimming with potential whether it's transforming the cabana into an ADU or creating a vibrant community space where neighbors still gather like they did in 1961. Centrally located near LA's major attractions, this home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of mid-century history while embracing the possibilities of today.
