About this home

Rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable Beachwood Canyon estate encompassing two separate APNs and more than 13,000 square feet of combined land beneath the iconic Hollywood Sign. Designed by renowned architect W. L. Schmolle, this enchanting residence blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates, offering exceptional privacy and sweeping canyon, hillside, and city views. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, oak floors, expansive picture windows, and a magnificent marble fireplace anchoring the dramatic living room, while the redesigned chef's kitchen, formal dining room, and multiple terraces create an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The expansive main terrace with its own fireplace serves as a spectacular extension of the living spaces, offering an exceptional setting for al fresco dining, relaxed gatherings, and evenings under the open sky, all framed by breathtaking Southern California views. A signature 3 story turret features an intimate bar, private balcony, and hidden staircase leading to a whimsical retreat/office beneath a skylight. The bottom floor of the turret offers a cozy wine room complete with 150 bottle Vino-temp wine fridge. The spacious primary suite offers dual walk-in closets, a Juliet balcony, and a beautifully renovated bath with heated floors. A separate lower-level guest apartment with two private entrances provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a creative studio, or potential rental income. Every level contains massive amounts of storage. In addition there is a 1000 sq foot, 2 level attic. Beyond the home, the adjoining parcel creates a private hillside sanctuary with multiple patios, a grapefruit orchard, mature fig and mulberry trees, grapevine, raised organic garden beds, a majestic century-old oak tree, and generous fenced space for pets to roam. Just moments from the restaurants and shops of Beachwood Village, Griffith Park, Lake Hollywood, and neighborhood hiking trails, this rare offering combines architectural pedigree, timeless charm, and an unparalleled canyon lifestyle in one of Los Angeles' most iconic neighborhoods. *Exterior trim color has been digitally altered from red to white for illustrative purposes to showcase the property's potential.*
