Description
Hollywood history and cinematic style converge at this legendary Spanish home, set on two lots in the heart of Whitley Heights. Originally designed by architect and set designer Harry McAfee in 1926, the home was later owned and thoughtfully reimagined by filmmaker Roman Coppola, who preserved its original charm while adding his own creative vision. Discreetly tucked behind lush landscaping, the home unfolds across multiple levels and immediately transports you to a bygone era of Hollywood magic. The sprawling multi-level layout has two distinct living spaces, formal dining room, a retro eat-in kitchen with skylit breakfast nook, and multiple doors to the outdoor spaces. Upstairs is a sunny multi-purpose room, perfect for an additional family room or as an office space, as well as 3 bedrooms all with their own en suite bathrooms featuring colorful period tile work, and a cozy covered patio turned reading room. The outdoor spaces were made for entertaining, from the serene terrace with fountain to the vintage tiki bar. The detached laundry room has been reimagined as a Prohibition-style speakeasy, offering an unexpected twist that nods to the home's 1920s roots. Surrounded by mature greenery with an additional 4,000 sq ft parcel lot, there are endless opportunities to expand, host legendary parties or simply enjoy nature in the heart of Hollywood. Nearby easy access to freeways, the Hollywood Bowl, and all the splendor of rich Hollywood Heritage, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of LA history with timeless character and modern functionality.
