The house is a treasure trove, filled with Tiffany glass in the form of windows, doors and light fixtures that are irreplaceable. The six fireplaces were designed using Batchelder tiles and rare marble and all have cast iron firebacks, each depicting different medieval scenes. Exotic woods were used and the original clawfoot tubs remain along with exquisite built-in cabinets and etched crystal showcases. As far back as 1988, Lloyds of London estimated the replacement value of the home to be between $23m and $25m and the increase in value almost a quarter of a century later, in just the Tiffany alone, would be dramatic. Most remarkable is the pristine original condition of the house, including the 1902 intercom system. The roof was recently refurbished and even the tiles were painstakenly restored.

Designed and built in 1902 by world-famous architect, Alfred F. Rosenheim, as his own personal residence, it contains approximately 20,000sf on ¾ of an acre and includes a huge basement along with a private forest. Listed as Los Angeles Historical Monument #660 with the Historical Society, the mansion enjoys low property taxes under the Mills Act. Along with its 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, there are separate staff quarters for three, formal rooms and solarium, and enough space to entertain living options limited only by one's imagination. Priced at $17m.
