Sited on over one acre of land surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees and rolling lawns, 694 Amalfi is an incomparable, gated and private estate on the most coveted street in the Riviera. Designed by famed architecture firm Morgan, Walls & Clements (The Wiltern, El Capitan Theatre, Adamson House) in 1933 for film director and writer Oliver H.P. Garrett, the home is a perfect blend of old Hollywood grandeur and modern-day sophistication. A meandering brick pathway winds its way through park-like grounds and up to the home's dramatic front entryway foyer with double-height wood-beamed ceiling. Through the foyer is the heart of home -- a vast and voluminous, natural light-filled great room replete with soaring gambrel ceiling, a grand brick fireplace, dining and living room areas and access through French doors to the backyard. Off the great room are the chef's kitchen with breakfast nook, and the sophisticated bar room with exposed beam ceiling and its own fireplace. The first floor of the home features a comfortable den, a bedroom that can also serve as an office and the generous primary suite with coffered ceiling, elegant fireplace, walk-in closet, separate his and hers bathrooms and tree and canyon views. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms including a spacious second primary suite with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. On the other side of the house there is a bedroom and additional bedroom/exercise room with wood-beamed ceilings and tree views. On the lower level of the home is a bar room off the tennis court for postgame drinks, or a game of pool. The expansive backyard features a sparkling pool, multiple seating and entertaining areas, bath and views of the Riviera Country Club and canyon. A once-in-a-lifetime estate in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
