Perched high above the street in coveted Comstock Hills, 1717 Comstock Ave is a rare 1920s Spanish residence with the kind of presence, privacy, scale, and architectural soul that define classic Los Angeles living. Set on an elevated promontory-style lot along one of Westwood's most desirable residential streets, this 4-bedroom, 5-bath, approximately 4,035 sq. ft. home sits on an approximately 10,859 sq. ft. lot and makes an immediate impression with graceful proportions, timeless character, and a true sense of arrival. Previously owned by three-time Olympic figure skating champion Sonja Henie and on the market for the first time since 2003, the home blends old Los Angeles romance with a highly livable floor plan designed for everyday comfort, entertaining, and flexibility. Refinished hardwood floors, tall ceilings, generous rooms, abundant natural light, and classic Spanish details create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Spacious formal and informal living areas flow with ease, giving the home the soul, volume, and charm that newer construction often tries to recreate but rarely captures. The kitchen is well-appointed for serious cooking and everyday living, featuring a 36-inch Wolf range and built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. Multiple bedroom suites and flexible living spaces provide options for guests, work, creative use, or multigenerational living. The primary suite is a true retreat with a large walk-in closet, private balcony, and versatile sitting area ideal as a lounge, office, den, or nursery. The primary bath features a separate soaking tub with jets, while one upstairs secondary bedroom also opens to a private balcony, adding another layer of indoor-outdoor connection. The elevated setting gives the property a rare feeling of privacy and separation, with the residence sitting proudly above the street while still feeling connected to the neighborhood. The generous quarter-acre lot offers space to enjoy, entertain, landscape, reimagine, or further enhance over time. Comstock Hills has long attracted buyers drawn to architectural character, privacy, and proximity to the best of the Westside, with neighborhood lore connecting nearby homes to Hollywood names including Bing Crosby, Peter Lawford, and Emma Stone. Located moments from Century City, Westfield Century City, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, UCLA, Westwood Village, Holmby Park, and the Wilshire Corridor, 1717 Comstock offers a rare opportunity to own an original Spanish character home with scale, history, and long-term value in one of Los Angeles' most strategically connected residential enclaves.
