Description

Iconic Historic Landmark Home For Sale:
A Classic Spanish Revival Architectural Style Home.
This magnificently situated property is a legacy estate of rare character and historic relevance. A prestigious address known for legendary entertaining, this iconic home has hosted dignitaries of State and Screen since it was designed with distinction and grandeur for Aubrey and Bonnie Bell Wardman in 1926 by the renown Architects Webber, Staunton & Spaulding. According to Landmark Designation documents, Aubrey Wardman was an early century scion, known for development of the local oil industry, and for his pioneering efforts to expand the telephone system for Los Angeles and the surrounding counties. The Wardmans were benevolent patrons of their community and were personal friends with dignitaries including Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Local legend has it that Nixon and Kissinger used to play cards in the game room, and that Kissinger would treat guests to music played on the grand piano in the drawing room. The use of the Wardman House in “Zorro” remains a part of the local lore, as well!
Features:
The Classic Spanish Revivalist architectural style is seen in every aspect of this majestic home, beginning at the imposing decorative gates leading to a circular courtyard with a Spanish-style Motif Well in the center. You will surely appreciate that this lushly landscaped property was built specifically for luxurious comfort and an amazing indoor/ outdoor entertaining lifestyle, as nearly every room on every level leads to a terrace, a balcony, a manicured lawn, or (famously) an open turret tower with a deck, offering panoramic, spectacular views of Los Angeles for as far as the eye can see. On clear days, you can see all the way to Los Angeles, Long Beach and Palos Verdes, and possibly glimpse the island of Santa Catalina in the far distance. Simply magnificent!
This historic home also features a newly renovated guest house, staff quarters, an oversize 6 car tandem garage, outbuildings for storage and gardening, fruit trees, fountains, and even a built- in BBQ with a spit!
Designated as an Historical Landmark on Sept. 25, 1991, this property is for those who hold history, design, and beauty in the highest regard.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from May 30, 2023
