This stunning Spanish Revival in Cheviot Hills blends architectural elegance with thoughtful modern updates. Originally crafted as the personal residence of architect Milton Schwimmer, the home underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012–2013, preserving its original charm while enhancing functionality for today’s lifestyle. Further renovations in 2018 added even more refinement and modern convenience. A grand two-story entry sets the tone with a sweeping spiral staircase and dramatic chandelier.

Whether hosting guests, enjoying wellness routines, or seeking a quiet escape, this space adds a remarkable layer of versatility to the home. Rich details like terracotta tile, hardwood floors, and handcrafted Malibu tile accents give the home a warm, timeless character. Located less than a mile from the iconic FOX Studios, this residence offers both prestige and convenience in one of L. A.' s most desirable neighborhoods.
