Perched in the legendary Hollywood Hills, this four-story architectural masterpiece is not just a home, it’s a living love letter to Old Hollywood. Designed by acclaimed architect W.L. Schmolle and built by an acclaimed 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 endless views. Hiking trails to Lake Hollywood are right outside your door. French doors lead to a 400 sq. ft. entertainer’s terrace, with 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 that keep the energy flowing effortlessly. The chef’s kitchen is a modern marvel with Italian Bertazzoni range, stainless appliances, and ambient lighting that makes every culinary moment magical. Wander through hidden doors into the turret, a three-story tower where you’ll discover a reading room, sun-soaked veranda, circular meditation space, and a bonus bedroom nestled beneath a skylight. Like something out of a fairytale. The primary suite is a sanctuary with a Juliet balcony, and 2 large walk-in closets. The main bath has dual marble sinks and heated floors. Every window has views of whispering eucalyptus trees. Throughout the estate, secret passageways, vintage tile work, and enchanting gardens beckon exploration. Outside, you’ll find a private orchard, vineyard path, and patios draped in shade from a 100-year-old oak. A guest apartment with vintage O’Keefe & Merritt stove, clawfoot tub, and private entry completes the experience.This is more than real estate. This is your storybook home! The property includes an additional 6,495 square-foot terraced garden lot with a variety of fruit trees.
