About this home
Nestled amid the leafy tranquility of prestigious Los Feliz is this 1923 Mediterranean-inspired estate—once home to Forrest J. Ackerman—legendary collector, writer, and inspiration to Hollywood’s greats. This piece of history, known as ‘The Ackermansion,’ was recently re-imagined to showcase masterful craftsmanship, bespoke detailing and integrated art installations by a world-renowned artist.
Enter through a grand foyer into an expansive living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Los Angeles skyline. Through double French doors, a cabana-style lounge with its own fireplace provides a cozy retreat. The interior includes a ground-level remodel in collaboration with Hub of the House Studio, featuring custom Hart & Toth cabinetry. A romantic Juliette window in the dining room overlooks your own private forest, while the chef’s kitchen features artisan concrete counters, designer appliances, and hand-troweled clay and plasterwork.
Within this walled and privately-gated compound, 4 fireplaces, 6 patios, and a sparkling pool offer endless possibilities for entertaining. Soaring palms, mature birds of paradise, and cascades of bougainvillea will have you feeling like you’re worlds away. Designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living, this residence is a private sanctuary just minutes from Griffith Park hiking trails, the Observatory, and the heartbeat of Los Angeles.
