Commonwealth Manor, An English Storybook Inspired Stone Compound in Los Feliz. Originally built in 1929 as a Country English residence by architect Arthur C. Munson, 2633 N Commonwealth Ave, known as Commonwealth House, reflects the romantic architectural sensibility that defined early Los Feliz. Set behind a private gate on approximately one third of an acre, the property has evolved into a rare multi-residence compound thoughtfully expanded while preserving its storybook character, architectural integrity, and sense of place. Arrival is marked by a sculptural wrought-iron garden gate, introducing layered grounds and a deeply private estate setting beyond. The property unfolds across three distinct residences, offering a balance of connection and independence ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or creative use. Early ownership and community involvement reflect the home's place within Los Feliz's historic social fabric, dating to a period when the neighborhood emerged as a discreet enclave for professionals, creatives, and members of Hollywood's early film community. The main residence showcases period craftsmanship throughout, featuring soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed beams, classic wainscoting, and custom mahogany cabinetry. A formal living room anchored by a fireplace, original wall sconces, and a charming window seat creates a refined yet inviting atmosphere, complemented by thoughtfully integrated built-ins. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen blends timeless design with modern performance. A Thermador professional appliance suite is joined by built-in refrigeration and freezers, warming and cooling drawers, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, and a dramatic waterfall edge quartz island flowing seamlessly into surrounding living spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The main house offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a powder room off the entry and a private primary wing with an expansive covered patio deck. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature soaking tubs and rainfall showers, while a concealed door reveals a speakeasy-style basement. Multiple attic storage areas provide exceptional functionality. Complementing the main residence are two fully independent living structures. The ADU includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a dedicated laundry/office, hardwood floors, 12 foot ceilings, quartz countertops, black hardware, subway tile, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner range, and private patios off each bedroom. A separate guest house features a foyer entry, one bedroom and one and a half bathrooms, laundry, balcony, recessed lighting, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and dual-zoned climate control. Outdoors, the estate functions as a true private retreat. All three residences open to their own patios, while the grounds feature a black-bottom pool and hot tub, cascading waterfall fountain, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and built-in barbecue, wet bar with island and warming drawer, and multiple areas for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A Tesla EV charger completes the modern conveniences. Set moments from Griffith Park's trail system and surrounded by mature greenery, Commonwealth Manor offers a rare balance of privacy, architectural integrity, and proximity to nature within one of Los Feliz's most storied settings.
