The story
Some homes are remembered for their architecture, others for their history. This remarkable 1921 English Arts and Crafts residence in the Hollywood Hills offers both. Situated just above Franklin Avenue near the Magic Castle, the home showcases an extraordinary collection of architectural details and inviting living spaces rarely found in today's homes. Step inside and discover a spectacular living room with soaring two-story ceilings, an upper-level gallery, richly paneled walls, beautiful hardwood flooring, and a distinctive Art Deco-inspired fireplace. Throughout the approximately 3,696-square-foot residence, exposed wood beams, detailed millwork, and divided-pane windows create an atmosphere of warmth and character.The spacious kitchen features an Aga range, generous center island, extensive cabinetry, and distinctive finishes. A formal dining room surrounded by windows provides an inviting setting for gatherings, while the library/study, office, and separate media room offer flexibility for a variety of uses. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged across multiple levels, creating a sense of separation between living and private spaces. Outdoors, the home's wood-shingle architecture is complemented by brick accents, covered porches, expansive wood decks, and mature landscaping.
