Introducing The Transformer House a bold intersection of architecture, artistry, and endless potential. Built in 1924 and set behind mature hedging on a nearly 10,000 sqft corner lot in the Los Feliz Hills, this Spanish Mediterranean home is both a private sanctuary and a living gallery. Known for its life-size Transformer sculptures, striking installations, and commanding street presence, the home now offers an opportunity to evolve whether preserved, reimagined, or transformed into something entirely new. Beyond sculptural gates and a tranquil water feature, a custom wood-and-metal framed door opens to a dramatic formal entry. Inside, the living room boasts high ceilings, arched windows, and a statement fireplace. The expansive kitchen and dining area features custom cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, a Wolf 6-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a walk-in pantry a true chef's kitchen built for both hosting and functionality. A powder room wrapped in custom Keith Haring wallpaper leads to a full bar with speakeasy-style storage, connecting to a flexible recreation room with a pool table, poker table, craps table and a cozy study/ library nook. French doors open to a serene backyard retreat with a spa, pizza oven, full bar, fire pit, and a dramatic waterfall wall anchoring the atmosphere in calm sophistication. The lower level offers exceptional versatility with a private 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit complete with its own kitchen, garage access, and a separate entrance perfect for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. A two-car garage, additional outdoor parking, and generous storage complete the space. Upstairs, the original 1920s staircase, illuminated by a Hollywood Regency chandelier, leads to three bedrooms and three modern baths, each finished in porcelain and quartz with steam showers. Generous closets and a second full kitchen offer layout flexibility for multigenerational living, hosting, or creative adaptation. Whether you're an investor looking for a unique asset in a sought-after neighborhood, or a homeowner with the vision to refine a residence into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, The Transformer House is a trophy property unlike anything else in Los Feliz. More than a home it's an invitation to create, evolve, and transform. (Also available for sale.)
