"Named the Victor Rossetti Residence after the banker it was built for in the 1920s, the house was designed by Paul R. Williams, the prolific, trailblazing architect whose architectural imprint can be seen across Southern California, including the Beverly Hills Hotel and the futuristic Theme Building at LAX. Here, Williams deployed coffered ceilings, ornamental ironwork, stained-glass windows and colorful tile across two stories and nearly 9,000 square feet."
"It's owned by Lydia Hearst, great-granddaughter of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, and her husband, actor-comedian Chris Hardwick. Sales north of $20 million are typically reserved for the tony enclaves west of the 101 Freeway - Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood - but there's a precedent for blockbuster deals in Los Feliz. Hearst and Hardwick set the neighborhood price record when they bought the home a decade ago for $11 million."
The Spanish Colonial-style mansion in Los Feliz is listed for $21.5 million. Lydia Hearst and actor-comedian Chris Hardwick own the property. The house was built in the 1920s for banker Victor Rossetti and designed by architect Paul R. Williams. The two-story residence approaches 9,000 square feet with 10 bedrooms, 11.5 bathrooms, coffered ceilings, ornamental ironwork, stained-glass windows, colorful tile, a wood-paneled library, wine cellar, pub and a hidden bookshelf door to a lower level. The one-acre grounds include a garden, koi pond, citrus grove, swimming pool, pool house and guesthouse. Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty holds the listing.
