About This Home

As of November 2024

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! First time on the market in almost 70 years in Sunset Square. This original Spanish Colonial fixer has only had two owners since it was built by Martell Lund as his own residence in 1926. This almost 4000 square foot home sits on, an over 8000 square foot lot. It boasts 5 beds and 5 baths. The living room is a show stopper with it's gorgeous beam ceiling and wood flooring. The first level includes a formal dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, sun room, powder bath, laundry and Maids/Guest bedroom and bath. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms with a jack and jill style full bath shared by the front two bedrooms. Lots of original touches throughout. The design choices are quite bold. There is room for entertaining with a lovely private yard and large pool. This aging beauty is in need of a Hollywood house lift to restore her to today's living with significant work. The bones are there. Bring your design vision and reimagine the Spanish home of your dreams. Offered for purchase as a separate abode or an incredibly hard to find side by side lot with over half an acre when combined with 1635 next door. The combined property is unbelievable. This beloved family compound could live on with its new owner. Minutes away to the studios, Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon and Weho and walking distance to grocery, coffee and dining. Fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history whether you are an investor or someone longing to create your own showplace in La La Land.
