About 2882 Belden Drive

This magical estate, perched in the legendary Hollywood Hills, is a four-story architectural masterpiece and includes something very rare in the hills; when you step outside your kitchen door, it's onto your 6495 sq.ft. terraced, private park complete with fruit trees, a large raised bed vegetable garden, and cozy, private patios draped in shade by a huge 100-year-old oak tree. This is not just a home, it's a sanctuary above the fray, a living love letter to Classic Hollywood with a view of the iconic sign right outside your front door. Designed by acclaimed architect W. L.Schmolle and built by a renowned structural engineer, this 1948 castle blends timeless elegance with soul-stirring charm. Step through the front door and into a world of grandeur. Soaring 14-foot vaulted ceilings, a marble-clad wood-burning fireplace, and expansive picture windows open to panoramic views from Griffith Park to Long Beach. French doors lead you outside to a 400 sq. ft. entertainer's terrace with yet another fireplace, slate floors, and treetops swaying in the breeze. Every inch of this home whispers craftsmanship: hand-milled black walnut from Michigan, custom pocket doors, leaded glass windows, and subtle elements of Feng Shui which keeps the energy flowing freely. The chef's kitchen is a modern marvel with an Italian Bertazzoni range, stainless appliances, and ambient lighting that makes every culinary moment magical. Wander through one of the secret passageways and find yourself in the turret, a three-story tower where you'll discover an intimate lounge leading to a sun-soaked veranda, above that a circular meditation space and a bonus bedroom nestled beneath a skylight. Its like something out of a fairytale. The primary suite is expansive with views from every window, 2 large walk-in closets, and a Juliet balcony. The main bath has been completely redone, featuring dual marble sinks and heated floors. There is abundant storage space throughout the home, including a separate wine room complete with a 170-bottle EuroCave wine fridge. An 800 sq ft guest apartment with vintage O'Keefe & Merritt stove, clawfoot tub, and two private entries occupies the home's lower level offering even more opportunity for gracious living and creativity. Next to the property, a short walk down an historic stairway brings you to the charming Beachwood Village Square with its shops, market, and restaurant. Hiking trails to Lake Hollywood are right outside your front door, as well as access to horseback riding at Sunset Ranch. This is more than real estate. This is your storybook home! A private paradise.
