5163 Franklin Ave – Los Feliz Spanish Home for Sale
An Artist’s Masterpiece in the Heart of Los Feliz
An artist residence like no other. This classic 1924 Spanish style home in Los Feliz, steeped in character, soul, and story, has been masterfully painted by renowned French artist Claire Tabouret in collaboration with the home's historic bones. Located adjacent to Laughlin Park, this gated and private 3BR/3BA home blends romantic Spanish charm with modern refinement.
Soaring beamed ceilings, rich color palettes, and authentic architectural details are found at every turn. The crown jewel of the property is a stunning series of 19 hand-painted ceiling panels, inspired by the tarot card illustrations of Pamela Colman Smith and reimagined through Tabouret's singular artistic lens. Hovering above the dramatic, double-height living room, these symbolic works bring mysticism and visual storytelling into the heart of the home.
The first floor offers a spacious, flexible layout including a sunken living room, formal dining room, modern chef’s kitchen, and guest bedroom with its own full bath. Upstairs, a balcony library leads to a second bedroom and hall bath, and a primary suite complete with custom millwork wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with steam shower.
A series of arched French doors opens to a private balcony overlooking sweeping city views of Downtown Los Angeles, framed by lush jasmine and towering palms. Step outside to a tiled patio, a landscaped garden retreat with multiple seating areas, and a charming pétanque court—perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection.
This is more than a home—it’s a one-of-a-kind art installation nestled in one of the most desirable pockets of Los Feliz, just minutes from Griffith Park, Hollywood, and Los Feliz Village.
