Property Description
This rare & stunning example of Italianate architecture was built in 1922 by the family of President William Howard Taft. A Tuscan exterior & an interior characterized by classic Craftsman features are surrounded by lush grounds & high walls, creating a lavish, secluded retreat in the heart of Hollywood. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home boasts rich mahogany woodwork, Batchelder hearths, a formal dining room w/ pocket doors, a solarium, & a remodeled gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances including an 8-burner/dual-oven range. In addition to spacious bedrooms & luxurious baths, the home offers a laundry room, office space, & a wine cellar. Both the grand front patio & tropical backyard were designed w/ relaxation in mind. The pool, spa, & fire pit are as equally conducive to entertaining as they are to quiet evenings at home. Beyond the main house, situated at the end of the long private driveway, is a one bedroom/one bath guest cottage perfect for independent guests or relatives.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
