From the Agent: "At the base of the Los Feliz Oaks and Bronson Canyon is this stunning revamp of a 1927 Tudor by Ome Dezin. The main living room features an open-raftered ceiling and French doors connecting to the numerous outdoor spaces. The owners worked hard to preserve the historic design details throughout while also providing thoughtful modern updates where needed. It has two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, including a luscious primary suite with high ceilings, en suite bathroom, vintage closet door, and fireplace (one of five total in the home). There’s also a double garage with storage, a private back patio with built-in seating, and new landscaping around the property. As the former longtime home of burlesque queen Lili St. Cyr, this is a home to be cherished by those who are passionate about Hollywood history and design."
