We’ve posted about this home in the past but the price at the time kept it from selling and now it’s back in a very unusual and rare “auction”. This historic house has now been relisted and looks incredible. The historic Clifford Reid house at 124 Via Monte Doro is a truly remarkable home evoking the earliest days of this great neighborhood and it embodies the glamour of “Hollywood” at the time which was partially responsible for the name of the area itself. It was built in 1928 by Clifford Reid, the visionary developer of the Hollywood Rivera. After a trip to the Italian Riviera he felt that this area of the South Bay had a similar look and feel and he envisioned an area with the surrounding beauty of the riviera with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
The first house built was his personal residence and showpiece which is now known as the Clifford Reid house. The home sits on a 22,000 foot lot making for a spacious estate with incredible outdoor areas. Over the years it was lovingly restored and masterfully recreated combining old world craftsmanship with todays modern features. The home features 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooomd and over 6,700 square feet of living space.
