The beautiful house in the Italian Renaissance style has been standing since 1916 in the luxurious American residential area of Los Angeles called Hancock Park. The author of its design is the famous American architect John. C. Austin, who also designed the Griffith Observatory and Planetarium and the Los Angeles City Hall building.
The interior of the house, which stands on a corner plot lined with hedges, is adorned with many architectural and designer gems. These include, for example, antique fireplaces, French Empire chandeliers and imported Italian marble. The stained glass windows, which were personally designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, are considered to be the highlight.
A stone staircase leads to the house. The ground floor is furnished as a space for relaxation, entertainment and spending free time in the company of friends. There is a grand entrance hall, conservatory with glass roof, spacious lounge, living room with generous bay windows, study with bar and formal dining room.

Upstairs there are private bedrooms and offices, and of course the master bedroom of the whole house with its own fireplace, bathroom and walk-in closet. From the bedroom, there is a direct entrance to the pillared terrace with a view of the nice, landscaped garden.

The park-like garden includes a swimming pool, manicured lawns, a terrace protected by a pergola, stone fountains and other terraces.
The house has a usable area of 975 m2. Next almost 100 m2 has a guest house. Both buildings stand on a plot of land with an area of 0.6 ha.
As the Top Ten Real Estate Deals website points out, in the past many famous personalities from the world of show business and politics have been guests in the house. Among them are, for example, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood and former US President Barack Obama.
Muhammad Ali, originally Cassius Clay, owned the house from 1979, when he retired from his professional career, and lived there until 1984. The house is being offered for sale by auction, which will close on May 15. Those interested can follow its progress directly on the website of the organizing company Concierge Auctions.
