Property Description
The Clock House, A Rare Architectural Masterpiece, originally commissioned by attorney John Clock and designed by renowned architect Kirtland Cutter, this distinguished estate rests on nearly an acre in a secluded enclave of the prestigious Virginia Country Club neighborhood. Cutter, celebrated for blending architectural styles, crafted a Georgian-inspired interior defined by elegant symmetry and refined Federalist details. The exterior features a striking fusion of Colonial, English, and Spanish influences—signature hallmarks of Cutter's later work. The grounds were thoughtfully planned by Ralph D. Cornell, one of the most influential landscape architects in Los Angeles history, who developed the original staking plans. Lovingly restored and reimagined By the design team at Satin and Slate and the construction group at Builder Boy. The estate has been fully upgraded inside and out while preserving its historic charm. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece, boasting premium appliances, a large island with built-in ice maker, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, 48-inch Wolf range, a custom drop zone, and a hidden walk-in pantry. The main level offers a grand formal living room with sweeping views of the grounds, a stately dining room, a private ensuite guest bedroom, and an office with vistas that stretch to Downtown Los Angeles. Upstairs, the master suite is a serene retreat featuring a spacious bedroom, luxurious bathroom, and a private balcony overlooking The Virginia Country Club Golf Course. Three additional bedrooms include a Jack-and-Jill bath shared by two, while the third has its own ensuite. A second-floor laundry room and abundant storage throughout add modern convenience. The meticulously landscaped grounds include a completely remodeled pool with a pebble finish and automatic cover, a private orchard with multiple fruit trees, a rose garden designed with architectural intention, a vegetable garden pad, an outdoor fireplace with lounge seating, and a secluded hillside retreat offering panoramic views from Palos Verdes to the towers of Downtown LA. A three-car garage caters to car enthusiasts, and the expansive lot allows room for additional structures, offering endless potential. With its unparalleled privacy, historical significance, lush grounds, and proximity to downtown Los Angeles and major freeways, “The Clock House” is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly iconic Southern California estate.
