The Story
11159 La Maida Street
Behind a wall of mature hedges sits a rare Spanish compound with genuine presence and privacy. Built in 1927 by Tony La Maida and thoughtfully expanded over time, the residence balances historic character with modern comfort across approximately 5,518 square feet. The grounds feel like a private resort: a full 25-meter lap pool with spa, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, outdoor shower, and several inviting patio areas create effortless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, a dramatic foyer and spiral staircase open to formal dining, a living room anchored by a marble fireplace, a comfortable family room, a dedicated office, and a chef's kitchen outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. A main-level guest suite and two powder rooms add flexibility for entertaining or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a marble bathroom with soaking tub, while three additional en-suite bedrooms and dual balconies overlook the landscaped grounds. At the rear of the property is a detached one-bedroom guest house with full bath ideal for visitors, staff, or separate living. Gated parking for six or more cars completes the compound feel. Significant upgrades include copper plumbing, five independent HVAC zones, and a Tesla charger. The location places you minutes from the NoHo Arts District, Toluca Lake, and Studio City's best restaurants and shops. The property is currently leased on a 12-month term, providing strong current income with the tenant responsible for all utilities. The lease offers a turnkey investment opportunity while still allowing for long-term owner occupancy or future redevelopment. A feasibility report outlining multi-unit development potential is available upon request. PROPERTY IS TENANT-OCCUPIED. DO NOT DISTURB THE TENANTS. All showings by appointment only through the listing agent. 24-hour notice required.
