Iconic 1924 Moorish Castle Estate in Hollywood Heights
A Rare Architectural Treasure With Panoramic Views
Step into one of Hollywood Heights’ most iconic residences — an authentic 1924 Moorish castle estate that embodies the romance, artistry, and history of Old Hollywood. Perched above the city with sweeping, panoramic views, this extraordinary home offers a level of character and craftsmanship that is nearly impossible to find today.
Rich with original details, the home features hardwood floors throughout and a breathtaking wood-paneled dining room crafted from imported African hardwood. The original cabinetry and millwork remain beautifully preserved, offering timeless elegance and unmatched authenticity. This enchanting property includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a versatile bonus area ideal for an office, workshop, studio, or creative space. The upper level hosts two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and a generous bathroom. The main living level is anchored by a light-filled living room with city views and the showpiece paneled dining room. On the entry level, a bedroom with an adjoining sitting room and bathroom creates a perfect guest suite or private retreat.
The outdoor spaces are equally magical. A birds’ eye viewing perch, two landscaped patios, a peaceful lower terrace, and a stunning waterfall — originally constructed with the home — create a serene environment for entertaining or unwinding. The private rear garden feels like a hidden sanctuary in the heart of the city.
This estate was built for a New York Socialite who then sold the home to the legendary and beloved character actor Morgan Woodward who cherished the home for more than 50 years. Morgan Woodward’s career spanned nearly 400 film and television roles, including Cool Hand Luke, Bonanza, and Star Trek to name a few! His long stewardship speaks to the home’s soul, charm, and enduring appeal.
Additional features include ample storage, a one-car garage, and extra space for parking on driveway. The location is exceptional — just blocks from the Hollywood Bowl and the iconic High Tower, offering effortless access to the area’s best dining, nightlife, and cultural landmarks.
