A Spanish Colonial-style house in Los Angeles, built in 1929 and formerly owned by Olivia Wilde, has been listed for $4.8 million this week. Located in the Los Feliz neighborhood, the home retains much of its historic charm, featuring a red-tile roof and white-stucco exterior. Inside, it boasts hand-painted Malibu tiles, wrought-iron staircases, stained-glass and leaded-glass windows, and ceilings with exposed wood beams. According to listing agent Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty – Los Feliz Brokerage, approximately 90% of the original Spanish Colonial details are still preserved.

There are several outdoor spaces.

The seller, Jeff Boutelle, CEO of Pharmavite—which includes the Nature Made brand—purchased the house in 2017 for $3.04 million from Jon Buscemi, a fashion designer and cousin of actor Steve Buscemi, according to property records.

The rotunda entrance is original to the house.
