A rare opportunity to own a restored piece of Hollywood history in Benedict Canyon. Built in 1928 and located on coveted Easton Drive, this thoughtfully restored residence blends Old Hollywood provenance, architectural character, and modern livability. Set within one of Benedict Canyon's most storied enclaves, the property carries a rich legacy that spans nearly a century of Los Angeles history. The home was long owned by actor and artist Aaron Kincaid, whose creative influence remains woven into the property's story. Historic details, original craftsmanship, and period character have been carefully preserved while extensive restoration work has transformed the residence into a fully functional home designed for contemporary living. Dramatic ceiling heights, original redwood framing, custom designer lighting, and a striking fireplace create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and inspiring. The updated kitchen has been reimagined for modern use with custom tile flooring, upgraded lighting, and thoughtful design details throughout. One of the home's most distinctive features is its intact Prohibition-era speakeasy which offers a flexible space for a library, study, creative studio, or private retreat. Throughout the property, historic elements coexist with meaningful upgrades that improve comfort, functionality, and everyday living. Outdoor spaces extend the experience well beyond the interior square footage. A large private deck creates a natural setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Youll have a place to slow down and connect with the outdoors, surrounded by birdsong and beautiful sunlight cascading through the trees overhead. The landscaped grounds feature roses, cactus gardens, climbing greenery and an eclosed side yard perfect for a dog run. Rarely found in Benedict Canyon, the property offers parking for up to three vehicles, including an enclosed garage with EV charging capability. Additional amenities include a large, dedicated storage space, a separate laundry room, upgraded security systems, restored gates and doors, and extensive mechanical and HVAC improvements completed during the restoration process. Easton Dr. is one of Benedict Canyon's most sought-after streets, known for its privacy, character, and infrequent public offerings. Opportunities to purchase a home with this combination of architectural authenticity, Hollywood heritage, restored historic character, and modern functionality are exceptionally uncommon.
