Overview

Designated as Burbank’s first residential Historic Resource, this beautiful & distinctive home is a remarkable blend of heritage, charm, and thoughtful modern touches. Majestic landscaping adorns the property, creating an enchanted garden setting that evokes the timeless beauty of an earlier era while also serving as a sanctuary from the bustle of modern life. Beautifully presented 1920s details – such as crystal doorknobs, a vintage chandelier, decorative wall plates, and signature crown molding – pair seamlessly with high-end Viking appliances to create a rare turnkey home for lovers of period architecture, old Hollywood style, and exceptional craftsmanship. Known to Burbank locals as “The Rock House,” interesting stories abound with local lore that Henry Ford was a frequent house guest alongside notable visitors such as Amelia Earhart and Will Rogers. It is also one of the few historic homes in Burbank designated under the Mills Act, offering significant property tax savings in exchange for ongoing maintenance and preservation. This timeless property also includes a private studio house and a one-car “drive-through” garage originally designed for Model A’s. The cottage-style studio, which features a kitchenette, quarter bath, and a laundry room, is perfect as a creative workspace, hobbyist area, guest quarters, or even a versatile space for exercise, play, or lounging. This stunning property on a gated corner lot with two beautifully paved patios, a relaxing hot tub in its own private space, and an elegant Porte-cochere parking area, is a true architectural showpiece, an entertainer’s delight, and a one-of-a-kind property. Recent extensive property repairs and upgrades – including a beautiful array of citrus, guava and peach trees, a new HVAC furnace system, new copper water lines, new main line sewer plumbing, and recent roof repairs – round out this real estate masterpiece.
