A Once-in-a-Generation Hollywood Hills Masterpiece— Perched atop the iconic Hollywood Hills, this 3 bed, 3 bath Cape Cod Craftsman is more than a home—it’s a rare gem that hasn’t seen the market in over 30 years. And once you step inside (or honestly, even just peek from the street), you’ll understand why. Let’s talk views. Panoramic, 360-degree, jaw-dropping views from every angle—rolling hills, towering mountains, twinkling city lights, and everything in between. Whether you're lounging poolside, hosting a sunset dinner on the back deck, or waking up in the primary suite, you’re surrounded by postcard-worthy scenery. The front of the home is entertainer’s paradise: a picture-perfect huge patio with multiple seating areas and a glistening pool framed by mature trees, mountain vistas and a view of the Hollywood Sign. Step inside to the welcoming living room, complete with a cozy fireplace, built-ins, and bay window overlooking that shimmering pool and wonderful views. Flow effortlessly into the dining room with custom cabinetry and sliding doors that open to your massive wooden deck (yep, more insane views included). Throughout the home, you’ll find gorgeous wood floors, adding warmth and timeless charm to every room. The kitchen will excite culinary enthusiasts—stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, breakfast nook, and (you guessed it) views at every turn. Tucked conveniently off the kitchen and living space is the downstairs ensuite bedroom, ideal as a guest retreat or luxe home office, featuring its own bay window framing mountain and pool views plus a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and ornate sink. There’s even a mudroom/laundry room with easy outdoor access because thoughtful details matter. Up the sleek, spiraled stone staircase awaits the light-filled third bedroom, an additional full bathroom with a chic tiled shower tub, and the crown jewel: the primary suite. Here, oversized windows, a walk-in closet, jetted soaking tub, spacious shower, and private deck (with those next-level views) come together for a true sanctuary. And location? It doesn’t get better. You’re moments from Sunset Plaza, Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park, Universal Studios, West Hollywood’s vibrant scene, and perfectly positioned for easy access to both the Westside and the Valley. Top it off with a fantastic school district, and this one checks every box. Homes like this don’t come around often- the question is will you wait, or will you make this Hollywood Hills icon yours now?

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1959, this property features a significantly updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a wine fridge, catering to modern culinary tastes. The bathrooms have also been stylishly renovated with beautiful tiling, a chic shower-tub combination, and a primary suite boasting a jetted soaking tub and spacious shower. Gorgeous wood floors throughout the home contribute to its well-maintained and move-in ready condition. While these key areas show recent updates, the absence of central air conditioning and the property's overall age suggest that not all major systems have undergone a full, recent renovation within the last 5 years, thus placing it in the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent'.

Premier Hollywood Hills Location: Situated atop the iconic Hollywood Hills, the home provides excellent accessibility to Sunset Plaza, Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park, Universal Studios, and West Hollywood's vibrant scene.

Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer months in Los Angeles, especially with extensive window exposure.
Relatively Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1,756 sqft, the interior living space may be considered smaller than expected for a property in this price range and prestigious Hollywood Hills location.
Potential for System Updates in Older Home: Built in 1959, while aesthetically updated, the core infrastructure may require future investments in major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly detailed as modernized.
