5000 Finley Avenue, Los Angeles CA, 90027

A 1928 Spanish villa in Los Feliz is on the market for $4,990,000, listed with Shannon Scavo of Maison Real Estate. The five-bedroom residence centres on a baronial staircase framed by stained glass and a minstrel’s balcony, with Moorish-influenced detailing integrated throughout.

Set behind gates, the 4,278 sq ft (397 m²) home is arranged across a series of large, interconnected rooms typical of the period. A step-down living room serves as the primary reception space, with vaulted beamed ceilings, a fireplace, arched windows and pegged wood floors. A formal dining room overlooks the garden and pool, while the kitchen opens onto a private patio.

Arches, French doors, decorative ironwork and original tilework are present throughout the interiors, alongside period fixtures and finishes.

Set behind gates, the five-bedroom house is a largely intact example of a 1920s Spanish Revival villa in Los Feliz, just below Griffith Park, one of Los Angeles’ most architecturally intact neighbourhoods.

Set on the eastern edge of Los Feliz, just below Griffith Park, the property sits within one of Los Angeles’ more architecturally intact residential areas. Much of the neighbourhood was developed in the 1920s as the city expanded toward the surrounding hills, resulting in a concentration of Spanish and Mediterranean Revival houses defined by stucco facades, tiled roofs and enclosed layouts.

No architect is formally attributed to the property, which is typical of Los Angeles residential construction in the late 1920s. While architect-designed estates by figures such as Paul R. Williams and Wallace Neff are well documented, many houses of this type were executed by developer-builders.

The home has previously been associated with actress Rose McGowan, who is reported to have undertaken a renovation in the early 2010s during a period when she was restoring a number of vintage properties, retaining original architectural elements while updating systems and interiors.

The property represents a largely intact example of a 1920s Los Angeles Spanish villa, positioned in a neighbourhood where architectural consistency continues to define long-term value.
