Charles Kyson, Architect, 1924, The William C. Hay Residence. After acquiring a 25,000+ square foot lot high in the Los Feliz hills, wealthy entrepreneur William C. Hay commissioned architect Charles C. Kyson to design his personal residence in 1924.  The result - featured in a 1925 edition of Architectural Digest (Vol. 5 Issue 1, p47-49) - is a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom Spanish Colonial brimming with old Hollywood elegance and charm.  Virtually every room takes advantage of the panoramic views of Los Angeles and lushly landscaped grounds.  Undoubtedly influenced by Kyson's parallel success as an art director in silent films, an organ room (now the wine cellar) was built to accompany screenings of movies projected in the oversized living room.  Equally impressive is the elegant dining room, sourced in England and reassembled in its entirety - stained-glass windows and all - off the grand entryway on the main floor.  The inviting den with fireplace offers the perfect respite for family andguests.  The elaborate library, with a built-in humidor, offers another stately and memorable retreat.  Whether meandering through the gardens, lounging by the pool, or taking in the stunning views, this private and historic home has something to offer everyone.

The manager has listed the unit size as 5447 square feet.
