Los Angeles | $2.9 million
A 1924 Spanish-style house, on 0.2 acres
This three-bedroom, three-bathroom house has most recently been owned by the French artist Claire Tabouret, whose stained-glass windows will next year be installed in Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. In this home, Ms. Tabouret painted scenes inspired by an early-20th century tarot card deck across the living room ceiling, along with updating the kitchen and bathrooms.
The house is in the heart of Los Feliz, a few minutes’ drive from Griffith Park and within walking distance of a bookstore, a 1934 movie theater and a mix of bars and restaurants. Thai Town and East Hollywood are both within a five-minute drive, and downtown Los Angeles takes 15 minutes.
Size: 2,762 square feet
Price per square foot: $1,050
Indoors: Stairs lead from the street to the home’s front courtyard, where doors open to a foyer, and the living and dining rooms.
In the living room, an original fireplace has a detailed surround hand-painted by Ms. Tabouret. Her tarot-inspired ceiling mural is bisected by wood beams, creating nineteen separate panels. Two tall arched windows face the courtyard and three arched doorways separate the living room from the dining room.
The dining room and the foyer both have access to the kitchen, which has Spanish-style tiled floors and a farmhouse-style sink beneath a garden window. On the other side of the foyer is a family room with blue walls and more arched windows. A bedroom is off the family room, along with a bathroom.
The other two bedrooms, including the primary suite, are on the second floor, reached by stairs from the living room. At the top is a catwalk overlooking the living room. Two bedrooms were combined to create one large primary suite, with custom-built cabinets and two brass chandeliers. A long balcony with pink and green tiled floors has views of downtown Los Angeles, and the primary bathroom has a bathtub and a separate shower both lined in cream-colored tile with black and green accents.
