Description

Nestled in the Hollywood Hills historic enclave of Whitley Heights, this beautifully restored 1926 Mediterranean-style oasis exudes charm with classic Hollywood glamour. Designed by architect/set designer Harry McAfee, this multi-level private sanctuary in the city features three primary bedrooms each with its own en suite bath, a spacious office or family room with a tiny secret loft space, two distinct living areas, a formal dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen accompanied by a charming breakfast nook. A creatively reimagined laundry room, transformed into a clandestine speakeasy “The Laundry Bar” reminiscent of the roaring twenties – an inspired nod to the era in which it was conceived. The oversized 2-car garage also comes with a car lift with room for a 3rd if needed as well as driveway parking. The purchase includes the neighboring 4000+ square foot lot, providing a sprawling yard adorned with meandering pathways and mature foliage – a rarity for this area, and also an idyllic retreat for outdoor gatherings and peaceful moments of reflection, and the perfect setting to write that thing! Whitley Heights was a beloved area by the Hollywood royalty in the Golden Era, home to luminaries such as Charlie Chaplin and Bette Davis. Beyond its own storied past, the property has most recently been lovingly maintained and enhanced by its current owner, filmmaker Roman Coppola, who has restored its original character over the last 30 years. Seamlessly blending historical allure with contemporary comforts, this residence offers a rare fusion of timeless elegance and modern-day sophistication
