Originally built by actor Mickey Hargitay, the home has been extensively renovated while preserving its timeless Mediterranean charm. Behind private gated walls, the striking white stucco exterior, red tile accents, arched architecture, and commanding street presence create an unforgettable first impression.

The expansive primary suite serves as its own private sanctuary, complete with generous proportions, luxurious bathroom, private balcony access, and breathtaking hillside views.Outdoor living is equally impressive, with over 1,800 square feet of balconies, terraces, patios, and view decks creating a true hillside retreat. The resort-style pool terrace serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor experience, surrounded by lush landscaping, multiple lounging areas, and spectacular vistas.
