Hollywood History Home!
We're always saying, "If walls could talk!", but the walls in this home could probably tell stories that would make a tinker blush! First, notice how private it is up on top of its own hill. The winding drive seems to go forever until it gets to the pinnacle, where sits this stunning glass home surrounded by 2 acres of rolling lawns and live oaks. Originally built in 1951 for Dora Hutchison, the heiress to the Chase Manhattan Bank fortune, it was designed by Pereira & Luckman, the architects famous for the Kennedy Center and many other important design landmarks. Once it was completed, the house hosted many famous celebrities such as Lucille Ball, Ava Gardner and others. Frank Sinatra leased the house for several years and Marilyn Monroe often lived in the guest house. It is said this guest house was the site of her clandestine meetings with JFK. Providing 13 acres of privacy surely gave freedom to those normally hounded by the press.
Today the house has been restored to its original luster and is ready for its next owner. Consisting of a 10,000sf main house, you will find 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, three lower level offices and the grand gallery. There is also the 50' pool with multiple open and covered outdoor lounging and entertaining areas. The guest house is 1,000sf with one bedroom, 1.5 baths and has its own private round pool. There is also a separate gym adjacent to the main pool. Views from the entire property both day and night are enchanting.
