About This Home
Welcome to a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Hollywood's most iconic and storied estates. Nestled in the coveted Outpost Estates, this 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece was the beloved longtime residence of legendary television host Bob Barker. Painstakingly restored and masterfully reimagined by acclaimed interior designer Julia Dempster, this extraordinary property embodies the romance of Old Hollywood with the sophistication of contemporary luxury. Built atop the site of "The Outpost" the original adobe home that marked the birth of Hollywood itself this landmark residence holds the rare distinction of being Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 673. With a provenance as rich as its design, 1851 Outpost Drive is far more than a home; it is a chapter of Los Angeles history. The estate features six spacious bedrooms, six luxurious bathrooms, and a formal powder room on the main level. A 601-square-foot basement includes a sauna and two additional rooms ideal for guests, an office, or a gym. A stylish home office with an en-suite bath doubles as a guest suite or studio. Throughout the home, original architectural details have been carefully preserved from the hand-painted fresco ceiling and grand arched doorways to the original stained-glass windows and the iconic bar tucked inside the wood-paneled library. The dramatic living room fireplace and sweeping scale of the interiors speak to a time of Hollywood grandeur. Dempster's year-long restoration imbues the home with natural textures and warmth, using Roman clay and limewash finishes to soften the walls and amplify the light. The chef's kitchen is a masterclass in form and function, featuring custom white oak cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and breathtaking Viola Monet marble across the island, countertops, and backsplash.The home benefits from two stunning primary suites. The main primary suite features a dream walk-in closet and luxurious his-and-hers bathrooms, offering the ultimate in privacy and indulgence. The second primary suite also boasts dual closets, providing generous storage and flexibility for guests or extended family. The primary suite's bathroom is a sanctuary unto itself, with a show-stopping book-matched travertine shower and marble thresholds that echo throughout the residence. European white oak floors run seamlessly underfoot, while hand-selected Zia tiles add character and craftsmanship to the secondary baths. An integrated infrared sauna offers a quiet moment of wellness and restoration. Outside, the grounds evoke a private resort: a generous pool, an expansive lawn, and a towering oak tree create a serene retreat just moments from Runyon Canyon, the Sunset Strip, and the cultural pulse of Hollywood. With its unparalleled location, cinematic history, and world-class design, 1851 Outpost Drive is not simply a residence it is a legacy awaiting its next custodian.
