About This Home
As of November 2024Rare opportunity to acquire a really special and romantic 1927 Spanish home on three lots totaling over 14,000 square feet on desirable Curson Avenue, north of Hollywood Boulevard and Wattles Park. This stately, well-preserved walled estate is steeped in history; for decades it was home to celebrated composer Radie Britain and is replete with original details inside and out. Fall in love the moment you pass the Edgardo Simone art pieces and enter through the stunning foyer, with its dramatic doorway and staircase with exquisite iron work. The showstopper living room has stenciled ceilings, an original fireplace, incredible woodwork, and rows of French doors on two walls. The dining room features hand-carved wood paneling and opens to a gourmet-sized kitchen. Upstairs are three large bedrooms, two with balconies overlooking tranquil treetop and peekaboo city views. A second lot offers a charming guest house (believed to be Simone's sculptor's studio) and a three-car garage and gated motor court. The third lot is large enough for a pool, additional guest house, or formal garden. The possibilities here are endless. For architecture-lovers wanting to put their own touch on a piece of Hollywood history, you've found it!
