About This Home

As of March 2024

Own a piece of Hollywood history with this top-floor 2BR/2BA condo at The Polynesian, Historic Cultural Monument No 1070. This spacious front corner unit has an open floorplan with a large living space flowing into the dining area by the kitchen, which has ample counter space and newer appliances. Enjoy serene sunsets from your private balcony with views of the city skyline and work on your screenplay under the watchful eye of the Hollywood sign. This private and quiet unit has only one adjoining wall with a neighbor. This condo has several large closets as well as additional storage in the garage and two parking spaces. This building qualifies under the Mills Act historic designation for a potential discount on the property taxes. This mid-century gem circa 1962 has a recently restored vintage mosaic wall in the entryway showing a Polynesian scene, manicured landscaping at the front exterior and lush green trees in the courtyard. The HOA recently replaced the building's roof and elevator mechanics. Centrally located in Hollywood near Los Feliz, this home is close to outdoor recreation at Beachwood Canyon and Griffith Park. This area offers many restaurants, grocers, fitness studios and theaters in charming Franklin Village and along bustling Hollywood Blvd. With easy access to the 101 freeway and Red Line subway, this fantastic location is a short commute to DTLA and The Westside. Welcome home!
