This beautiful English Tudor backs to one of the fairways of the Wilshire Country Club, which affords unobstructed views across the entire fairway with The El Royale apartment building in site!

This grande dame awaits its century-long, new transformation. Architectural elements include a wood-paneled, two-story entry; astonishing wood work throughout, panelled dining room; coffered ceiling in the step-down living room with fireplace. Large kitchen, butler's pantry, bright & sunny breakfast room, and large family room with fireplace. Family room looks out to the pool and just beyond is the grassy, green golf course fairways. Large, original tile powder room. Full basement which could be a great wine cellar. In the pool area there are separate men's & women's pool changing rooms; above the changing room is former chauffer's quarters which could be an ADU. Upstairs in main house, there is a very large primary bedroom and bath with separate his & her vanities and commode; large, walk-in closet. In addition, there are four bedrooms and two baths (one of the upstairs bedrooms could be an office with fireplace and beamed ceiling).

Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1929 and explicitly sold 'As Is' with no seller credits or repairs, this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The listing states it 'awaits its century-long, new transformation,' indicating major updates are needed. The visible bathroom features an extremely outdated style with original tile, dark red fixtures, and floral wallpaper, suggesting it has not been renovated in decades (likely 30-50+ years ago, or is original). While the home boasts significant architectural pedigree, its functional systems and aesthetics are severely dated and will require extensive renovation to meet modern standards, including the kitchen (not pictured but implied to be in similar condition) and all bathrooms.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Views: Situated on Hancock Park's premiere Hudson Place, the property backs directly onto a Wilshire Country Club fairway, offering unobstructed golf course views.
Architectural Pedigree: Designed by the esteemed and famous architect Arthur Rolland Kelly, the home possesses significant historical and artistic value.
Spacious & Grand Layout: A substantial 7-bedroom, 6-bathroom estate spanning 6,873 sqft on a 21,855 sqft lot, featuring grand architectural elements like a two-story entry, extensive woodwork, and multiple living areas.
Development Potential: Includes former chauffeur's quarters above the pool changing rooms, offering potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), and a full basement suitable for a wine cellar.
Exclusive Opportunity: This property is on the market for the first time in 72 years, presenting a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire and transform a historic 'grande dame' estate.

Cons

As-Is Sale & Renovation Needs: The property is explicitly sold 'As Is' with no seller credits or repairs, indicating a significant investment will be required for necessary updates and a 'new transformation'.
Age-Related Maintenance/Systems: Built in 1929, the home likely requires substantial upgrades to its infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and efficiency.
HPOZ Restrictions: Located within the Hancock Park HPOZ, any exterior modifications or major renovations will be subject to strict historical preservation guidelines, potentially increasing costs and project timelines.
