Your own Hollywood Hills story awaits. History and cinematic elegance come together in this architecturally stunning Spanish home in the historic Whitley Heights neighborhood. Designed in 1923 by renowned architect August Hanson, this turnkey residence has been home to filmmakers, writers, professional athletes, and has even appeared in films and music videos.
Perched at the end of a cul-de-sac with sweeping city views, the journey home begins with a grand, curving staircase winding past mature avocado and mandarin trees to an inviting front porch with original wrought-iron railings. Spanning multiple levels, the home draws you into the magic of old Hollywood.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows beautifully throughout the home. The dramatic living room features a soaring barrel ceiling and a one-of-a-kind original Batchelder tile fireplace. From there, the space opens into a formal dining room with a vaulted ceiling and oversized windows framing breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills and city skyline for miles.
The kitchen offers an inviting breakfast nook, stunning handcrafted tilework, generous counter space, and modern conveniences. A spacious first-floor bedroom suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, a lounge area, an en suite bathroom, and multiple doors opening directly to the outdoor living spaces.
Original mahogany hardwood stairs lead to two light-filled upstairs bedrooms, each with large closets. One overlooks the tranquil gardens, while the other boasts one of the finest views of the iconic Hollywood Sign in all of Whitley Heights. Between the bedrooms, a charming balcony overlooks the backyard, while a spacious bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub and double vanity.
The private, fully fenced backyard is a true retreat, complete with a sparkling heated in-ground pool. The basement laundry room offers abundant storage and direct access to the attached garage. An expansive red paver driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and is surrounded by native plants and trees. A handcrafted hummingbird tile mural reflects the hummingbirds that visit the property each day.
Situated on approximately 5,500 sqft lot, this exceptional home offers easy freeway access and is just a short distance from the Hollywood Bowl and many of LA's most celebrated destinations. Rich in architectural significance, history, and timeless character, this is a rare opportunity to make a true Hollywood landmark part of your own story.
