Life in The Hills

My photo
Beverly Hills, CA, United States
As a native Southern Californian, I am blessed to have grown up in an area that encompasses year-round beautiful weather, amazing Real Estate, great cuisine, and world influencing entertainment.

**Hollywood's Legendary Fuller House, a Runyon Canyon Hideaway***

All throughout Hollywood Hills are homes of legendary Tinseltown pioneers that possess a great amount of history and prestige. Every now and then, one of these properties hits the open market in flawlessly remodeled, move-in ready condition. Just north of the highly trafficked Hollywood Boulevard and adjacent to Franklin Avenue, sits a gorgeous piece of land just below the preserved Runyon Canyon. The Fuller House is a true treat, and a wonderful setting to call home for that Hollywood connoisseur who wants to own an iconic residence.

Originally built in 1916 for the famed Hollywood Developer, RE Fuller, this gorgeous estate atop a flat 32,000+ square foot lot is placed smack in the middle of all that Los Angeles has to offer. The structure was originally built by the great Architect, Arthur Jeinem. The home was later acquired by Paramount Pictures Co-Creator, Samuel Goldwyn, in 1925. Mr. Goldwyn came to America with nothing to his name, pursued the American Dream and within time became a legendary movie Producer. With Academy awards under his belt, multiple hit films, big success in the studio business, and a blossoming family, Sam snapped up this beautiful abode to call his own.

 Per the listing details via Rodeo Realty, "Every room of this 7 bed/ 6.5 bath grand residence is rich with character and stunning detail on a scale fit for Hollywood legends. Features include a tremendous multi-room master suite, grand living room, gourmet kitchen, elegant dining room with butler's pantry, screening room, sun room, breakfast room, Batchelder tile fireplaces, multiple balconies, maid's quarters and a guest house. Walled and gated, this property features a tremendous 32k sq. feet of private park like grounds with a motor court entry, a magazine worthy pool, an outdoor living room with fireplace, and walking paths through peaceful gardens and fountains."

As I hunt for a special buyer for this special home, this gorgeous, one of a kind, Hollywood Hills mansion is available for the first taker at a fair (in my opinion) list price of $4,895,000.
