For the first time in 90 years, the iconic Prindle House—a masterpiece by renowned architect George Washington Smith—is now available. Since its construction in 1926, one family has lovingly built and preserved this extraordinary estate. Ideally located just a block from the prestigious Langham Hotel, the home offers both heritage and prime location. From the start, the estate impresses with rich character and architectural significance. Inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, Smith designed an Andalusian-style residence filled with elaborate Moorish and Spanish elements. Every corner reveals intricate craftsmanship, from the monumental walls to the ornate details within.

As you enter, a baronial foyer welcomes you with 25-foot carved wood ceilings and a dramatic sweeping staircase. Moving through the home, you’ll find a grand living room, a warm and inviting library, and an elegant dining room—each space offering a glimpse into the estate’s refined interior. Furthermore, French doors open onto a romantic central courtyard featuring a star-shaped fountain and arched loggia—ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

The residence includes seven spacious bedrooms, three fireplaces, central air conditioning, copper plumbing, updated electrical, an elevator, and a newly remodeled chauffeur’s quarters—providing both comfort and convenience. Beyond the main house, tall carved wood doors imported from Fez, Morocco, lead to a private walled garden. There, a grassy lawn, mature trees, and a reflecting pool with water jets create a truly enchanting outdoor retreat.

In essence, this magical setting enhances the mystique and grandeur of Smith’s vision. Altogether, the Prindle House captures the splendor of a bygone era. It stands as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.
