Description
Steeped in nearly a century of Hollywood history, this extraordinary Laurel Canyon residence is a rare architectural offering where timeless character, rich provenance, and contemporary living converge. Designed in 1926 by celebrated architect Roy Seldon Price, the home has welcomed some of the world's most notable creative figures, including legendary actor Laurence Olivier, who once called it home.Tucked discreetly into the hillside the residence unfolds across four thoughtfully connected levels, each designed to embrace the natural topography while creating a remarkable sense of privacy, scale, and separation. Expansive living spaces flow effortlessly from one to the next, offering an ideal balance of grand entertaining areas and intimate retreats. Sunlight pours through steel casement windows, illuminating beautifully preserved architectural details, warm natural materials, and interiors that honor the home's historic pedigree while accommodating modern life.At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen anchors the main living spaces, complemented by gracious formal rooms, inviting gathering spaces, and six bedrooms and six bathrooms thoughtfully distributed throughout the residence. The primary suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, while multiple terraces and balconies extend the living experience outdoors, capturing sweeping vistas over the Hollywood Hills, the glittering Los Angeles skyline, and, on clear days, all the way to Catalina Island.The home's lower level functions as an exceptional private guest retreat, complete with its own entrance, living area, kitchen, bedroom, and bath perfect for extended family, visiting guests, creative studio use, or independent living.Positioned to take full advantage of its dramatic hillside setting, the home offers a seamless connection to its surrounding landscape through a series of terraces, balconies, and outdoor gathering spaces that frame expansive canyon and city views. Just moments from the Sunset Strip, yet worlds away in atmosphere, this is a residence that pairs architectural significance with an extraordinary Hollywood legacy.
