Beautifully secluded 1928 French Normandy hillside home with a rare flat expansive backyard and gardens designed by local architect Arthur Bone. Located below the Hollywood sign in the heart of Beachwood Canyon, this gorgeous character home with stunning original details and architectural features is both a perfect private retreat and a hub for entertaining. As you enter through the foyer on the top floor, you are greeted with a half bath, staircase to a private enclosed balcony, and a wide entrance to a spacious light filled living room with wood beams, original hard wood floors, leaded windows, fireplace, and three sets of French doors that all open to a wrap around balcony with tree top views. The kitchen retains its original charm with gorgeous floor tile, arched windows, and breakfast nook, and opens to both the two car garage and a formal dining room. Both dining room and family room have original wood floors, lead windows with gorgeous dappled light streaming in and built ins. The home's second fireplace is the center piece in the family room. As you descend the staircase to the second floor, you discover a unique screened patio positioned between the first and second floors with French doors, a built in seating, and tree top views. The second floor hosts three large bedrooms, three full baths (two of which are ensuite), and laundry. The primary suite features it's own private balcony, two walk in closets, a sauna, and en suite bath with steam shower. On the ground floor you will find an exit to the patio and also an entrance to the guest quarters with it's own full bath and kitchen. This space is currently being used as a recording studio, and would also make a perfect home office, gym, or space for visiting family and friends. Unlike most homes in this area, this three story hillside home also features an expansive flat back yard with lush gardens and water feature offering multiple outdoor living areas and complete privacy to this beautiful Westshire hideaway in Beachwood Canyon.

Condition Rating
Fair
This 1928 French Normandy home retains significant original charm and architectural details, including hardwood floors and leaded windows, and appears well-maintained. However, the kitchen explicitly 'retains its original charm' with older floor tile and cabinetry, and the images confirm outdated appliances and tile countertops. Bathrooms also feature older tiling and fixtures, despite the presence of a sauna and steam shower in the primary suite. The listing notes a 'lack of modern HVAC' as a weakness. While functional and livable, the kitchen and bathrooms, along with potential system updates, would require minor to moderate renovations to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Architectural Heritage & Character: A 1928 French Normandy hillside home boasting stunning original details and architectural features, offering unique historical charm.
Rare Flat Expansive Backyard: Features a rare, expansive flat backyard with architect-designed gardens and water features, providing multiple private outdoor living areas.
Secluded Beachwood Canyon Location: Nestled in a secluded part of Beachwood Canyon, below the iconic Hollywood sign, offering privacy and a prestigious address.
Versatile Guest Quarters: Includes a ground-floor guest suite with a full bath and kitchen, ideal for a home office, gym, recording studio, or extended family.
Luxurious Primary Suite Amenities: The primary suite offers a private balcony, two walk-in closets, a sauna, and an en-suite bath with a steam shower, enhancing comfort and luxury.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-05-30. The sold price is $2,065,000.00.
Significant Valuation Discrepancy: The current list price is considerably higher than the property's estimated value, and a notable price reduction has already occurred, suggesting potential overpricing.
Potential for Outdated Systems/Lack of Modern HVAC: As a 1928 build, the property's kitchen retains 'original charm' which may indicate a lack of modern updates, and there is no mention of a central cooling system, which could be a drawback in Los Angeles' climate.
Multi-Story Hillside Accessibility: The three-story hillside layout, while offering views, may present accessibility challenges for some buyers due to the number of stairs required to navigate the home.
