About This Home

As of February 2024

Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, this expansive 3,233 sq ft 4 bed/3.5 bath Ranch Home was once owned by Steven Spielberg's family! The open great room and kitchen feature vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows and doors providing picturesque views of the backyard. Hardwood flooring graces the entire home. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a spacious island, top-of-the-line appliances, quartz countertops, and ample storage. The formal dining room just off the kitchen is large enough to host 20 plus guests. The game room, complete with vaulted ceilings, has a half bath and backyard access. The primary bedroom offers a private office and a generously sized walk-in closet. The oversized 2-car garage includes built-in storage. Outside, lush mature landscaping enhances the sense of privacy, complemented by a covered patio, outdoor grill, wood burning fireplace, sparkling pool, and stunning views of Camelback Mountaincreating an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends.
Adding to the allure of this property is its intriguing history; once owned by Steven Spielberg's family, the house holds memories of the acclaimed director's early adulthood. Spielberg's mother, Leah Adler, purchased the house, and her visits over the years included anecdotes about navigating the challenges of being a divorced woman in the neighborhood. Spielberg allegedly read the script for "Jaws" for the first time while lounging in the pool.
