Property Description
A commanding presence in historic Lafayette Square, 1685 S Victoria Avenue is one of the largest and most architecturally significant estates in this gated, celebrity-favored enclave. Designed in 1916 by noted architect and developer Charles Wagner, this grand residence blends timeless craftsmanship with stately proportions, ideal for those who value legacy, elegance, and prominence. Once home to a member of the famed Hamburger family, founders of the department store empire that became the May Company, this property holds a storied place in Los Angeles history. Located within the Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, its original charm has been meticulously preserved. A dramatic grand staircase anchors a floor plan designed for refined living. The formal living room, illuminated by soaring Palladian windows, connects to a richly paneled library and an elegant rear parlor with fireplace, one of several throughout the home. Across the entry, a formal dining room with built-ins leads to a butler's pantry, kitchen, and breakfast room, all reflecting the home's gracious heritage. A first-floor bedroom with en suite bath provides private quarters for guests or staff. The remaining bedrooms and bathrooms occupy the 2nd floor. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy estate in one of L.A.'s most iconic neighborhoods, long favored by creatives, executives, and entertainment industry insiders. For those who seek timeless grandeur and historic distinction - your moment awaits.
