Actress Kristen Stewart just purchased a $6 million Mediterranean Revival-style estate in Los Feliz, California.

Built in 1927, the 4,864-square-foot home holds four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and stands two stories tall. It includes classic, red-tiled roofing, arched doorways, lantern lighting, and combination tile and oak wood floors. The garage has been recently converted into a guest suite with the identical Mediterranean style.

Over the years, the vintage home has been well-maintained revealing delightfully landscaped private gardens. The Spanish-tiled foyer reveals the authenticity and original charm of the estate with a wood-beam ceiling and large handcrafted doors. Just off the entrance, the step-down living room features a dynamic similar to the foyer with ceiling beams and a classic fireplace.

On the ground floor is the dining room, revealed by French doors that open out onto a covered loggia with enough space for a sitting area and a dining area. The upgraded, oversized kitchen is covered in olive green cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, a double oven, double burner, double refrigerator, and black kitchen island.

Upstairs, the main suite also has high ceilings as well as a dedicated sitting area, a nook with built-in chairs and French doors that lead to a balcony. The main bathroom features a double vanity with black countertops and lavender-and-black tiling on the floor. A saline pool and spa, lounging areas, and terracotta-style accents are on the outside.

This new home is an addition to another $2.2 million home owned by Stewart in the same area.

The listening was held by Sotheby’s International Realty broker Richard Yohon and Konstantine Valissarakos of Nourmand & Associates.
