3842 Carnavon Way

Set in the hills of Los Feliz, this beautifully reimagined 1926 Spanish residence pairs the romance of its original architecture with a sophisticated contemporary sensibility. Behind a gated and gardened approach, the approximately 4,918-square-foot home unfolds across three levels, with four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, expansive entertaining spaces, and sweeping views across Los Angeles. The main level is arranged for both gracious entertaining and everyday living. A central foyer opens to a formal dining room and an expansive living room with fireplace, adjoining sitting room, and direct access to a broad terrace overlooking the city. On the opposite side, the kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue range and opens to a breakfast area and family room, creating a more relaxed counterpoint to the formal spaces. Throughout, original character is balanced by a rich material palette of warm woods, terracotta, stone, expressive plaster, and deep blue-green accents. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own wing and is conceived as a true private retreat. The bedroom and adjoining sitting room are complemented by two separate baths and two walk-in closets, offering distinct spaces within the suite. A second en-suite bedroom completes the upper level. The lower level expands the home considerably, with a large entertainment room, two additional bedrooms, a wet bar, laundry and mud room, and direct access to the rear terraces. The layered floor plan allows the house to transition naturally from its more formal main level to relaxed private and entertaining spaces below. Outside, the property opens dramatically to a series of terraces and a large swimming pool set against panoramic city and hillside views. The rear grounds are open and sun-filled, while mature landscaping and established gardens create privacy along the street-facing side of the approximately 10,494-square-foot lot. Multiple outdoor seating and entertaining areas extend the living spaces into the landscape, with a two-car garage completing the property. Thoughtfully updated while retaining the warmth and individuality of its 1920s origins, the residence feels collected rather than newly conceived a private Los Feliz retreat defined by architectural character, layered interiors, generous entertaining spaces, and an exceptional relationship to its setting.
