Home’s History

Nestled in the foothills of Hollywood, this remarkable Spanish estate has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1926.

Initially built during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the home has witnessed nearly a century of Los Angeles’ dynamic evolution.

Despite the passage of time, the estate has retained much of its original charm and architectural integrity, thanks to meticulous updates by renowned design firm Pierce & Ward.

These thoughtful renovations have seamlessly blended contemporary conveniences with the home’s historic character, preserving its hand-painted stone fireplace, original inlaid wood floors, and stenciled ceilings.

Spanning 6,189 square feet, the residence includes seven bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, alongside lush grounds featuring a sparkling pool, tiled courtyards, and tiered gardens with espaliered citrus and organic vegetable boxes.
