The Doumakes House circa 1928

✨The Doumakes House✨ 1928 holds the distinction of being Landmark No. 1 and the first residential home in Unincorporated Los Angeles County awarded a Mills Act contract. Commissioned by James Doumakes, Greek immigrant and founder of the iconic Doumak marshmallow company, this was the residence of a family that reshaped an industry. From cast-mold marshmallows in 1921 to the patented extrusion process that became the global standard, the Doumakes name is tied to innovation. Nearly a century later, the home has been painstakingly restored with discipline and respect, no shortcuts, no trendy flips, just craftsmanship. 🛏️ 4 Beds 🛁 3 Baths 📐 3,117 Sq Ft 🌴 7,755 Sq Ft Lot Offered at💲1,895,000 sold for $2,257,000 Home Highlights: ✦ Dramatic barreled vaulted ceiling in the formal living room ✦ Original arched picture window and ornate plaster hearth with restored gas fireplace ✦ Original iron sconces and chandelier in formal dining room ✦ Hand-carved doors throughout ✦ Three upstairs bedrooms including primary en-suite with restored French windows and period-correct tile bath ✦ Pink and black tiled hall bath with soaking tub and separate shower with head and body jets ✦ Kitchen redesigned by A1000X Better with custom walnut cabinetry, butcher block counters, Tabarka tile, Shaw’s apron sink, panel-ready appliances. ✦ Front courtyard with Moorish tile and fountain. ✦ Roof clad in historic terracotta tiles repurposed from a 17th century church in France. ✦ 17 historic-style double-pane windows.
