About This Property
The Carolus House. Tucked into the storied hills of Bronson Canyon, The Carolus House seamlessly blends the romance of Old Hollywood with the comforts of modern California living. Originally built in 1926 as one of the neighborhood's celebrated Hollywood Storybook Homes, the residence reflects the architectural character that first made this enclave one of Los Angeles' most enchanting hillside communities. Thoughtfully reimagined down to the studs, the home has undergone an extensive renovation, including updated plumbing, electrical systems, redesigned bathrooms, and a sophisticated kitchen appointed with high-end appliances. Every improvement was made with respect for the home's original character while creating a residence that lives effortlessly for today's lifestyle. The home offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms across approximately 2,185 square feet of living space, in addition to a finished bonus room on the third floor that is not included in the stated living area. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home flows effortlessly to inviting outdoor spaces featuring a spacious patio, built-in barbecue, spa, and sun deck, all overlooking tranquil, tree-lined canyon views. A dedicated gym completes the home's blend of comfort, wellness, and functionality. The offering also includes an adjoining, separately parceled lot, presenting a unique opportunity seldom available in the Hollywood Hills. Ready-to-Issue (RTI) plans for the adjoining parcel are included with the sale, providing the next owner with a meaningful head start should they choose to build. Alternatively, the parcel may remain as open space, extending the property's sense of privacy, creating an estate-like setting, or preserving flexibility for years to come. Whether incorporated into a future compound or maintained as a natural extension of the grounds, the additional parcel offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find in this coveted hillside neighborhood. More than simply a residence, The Carolus House is a legacy property. A home where classic Hollywood character, enduring architecture, and modern livability come together in a setting that is both timeless and distinctly Los Angeles.
