Although built in 1951, this historic property has been extensively and thoughtfully renovated to meet modern luxury standards. The home features a redesigned chef's kitchen with high-end Italian Bertazzoni appliances, a redone primary bathroom with marble finishes and heated floors, and pristine hand-milled black walnut woodwork. The combination of updated major systems, commercial-grade appliances, and meticulous maintenance of its unique architectural features qualifies it for an excellent condition rating.
Known as 'The Enchanted Cottage,' this historic Hollywoodland retreat features a whimsical turret, 14-foot vaulted ceilings, and hand-milled black walnut finishes, offering a rare storybook aesthetic that is meticulously maintained.
The property is a bundled offering including an adjacent parcel that serves as a personal park with fruit trees and a vegetable garden, providing exceptional privacy and a large footprint in a dense canyon neighborhood.
The residence includes a separate 800-square-foot lower-level guest apartment with a private entrance, perfect for a high-end rental, creative studio, or multi-generational living.
The home's whimsical design includes ladders to secret rooms and a hillside 'castle' elevation, which may present accessibility issues or be impractical for buyers seeking a traditional floor plan.
While the area is served by some high-performing schools, the assigned middle schools carry significantly lower ratings, which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing education.
Welcome to the famed Hollywoodland enclave, where storybook style lives on today just as it has for over a century. This is a rare opportunity to reside in "The Enchanted Cottage," a historic and whimsical retreat complete with its very own turret. If you have ever dreamed of living in a character-filled home like those found in the fairy tales of your childhood, this is that dream realized. Nestled beneath the iconic Hollywood Sign in Beachwood Canyon, the site offers pure mountainside serenity while remaining only moments away from the city. The glamour of Hollywood's heyday is alive and well in this classic residence, which has been pristinely maintained and thoughtfully renovated. By floating the residence above the embankment like a castle, renowned architect W.L. Schmolle achieved a living environment that affords privacy, security, and stunning hillside views. Upon entering, you are greeted by soaring 14-foot Vaulted ceiling with grand wood beams in a living room anchored by a true wood-burning fireplace and expansive picture windows with views overlooking Griffith Park, the Hollywood Hills and all the way down to the Port of Long Beach. A cozy den offers a quiet respite, while the redesigned chef's kitchen outfitted with an Italian Bertazzoni range, commercial-grade appliances, and stone counters will delight any culinary enthusiast. The formal dining room, featuring fanciful pocket doors, is both rustic and inviting for elegant dinner parties. This space leads to an impressive 450-square-foot, four-season outdoor deck that is half-covered and half-open-air, featuring its own brick wood-burning fireplace and panoramic views in every direction. Old-world craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the hand-milled black walnut finishes to the leaded glass windows. Behind an obscure door, you will discover a hidden private bar within the turret; climb the ladder to find a circular meditation space and a secret bedroom nestled beneath a skylight for whimsical nights spent sleeping under the stars. The expansive primary retreat offers views from every window, two large walk-in closets, and a Juliet balcony, while the redone main bath features dual marble sinks and heated floors. The property provides ample storage, including an apx. 600-square-foot East Coast-style attic and a wine room with a 170-bottle EuroCave. Additionally, an apx. 800-square-foot lower-level guest apartment featuring a rare, vintage red color O'Keefe & Merritt stove and a clawfoot tub in the full bath offers a private entrance perfect for a home office, creative studio, or potential rental. Outside, a terraced personal park with fruit trees, meandering pathway, a raised-bed vegetable garden, and private patios shaded by a 100-year-old oak tree invites a sustainable lifestyle. A few steps past your next door neighbor you can walk down one of the six hidden, historic 1920"s Stone Beachwood Canyon Steps that brings you to the charming Beachwood Village Square with its shops, grocery market, and the world Famous Beachwood Canyon Cafe. Hiking trails to Lake Hollywood are right outside your front door, as well as close by access to horseback riding at Sunset Ranch Hollywood. A One-of-a Kind Enchanting Retreat-not to be missed.
