This ultra-cool Rock n' Roll canyon hideaway serves up sharp modern living blended with romantic 1938 authenticity. This private escape has drawn an impressive celebrity pedigree for its storybook ambiance and perfect California lifestyle. French Normandy architecture offers a nostalgic backdrop to the updated ebony wood flooring and crisp stainless/Calcutta-marbled kitchen. Stunning coffered ceilings, original built-in bookshelves, and sparkling chandeliers play with hi-tech systems. The sun-soaked family room opens to the soothing saltwater pool, spa, and gazebo, making this an entertainer's wonderland. The lower level is an entire apartment - a fully functioning retreat with kitchenette, bathroom, fireplace, and separate entry - also used as a guest room. The entire top floor is reached via a period turret, intensifying the jaw-dropping Master Suite with soaring ceilings, an adjacent den/office, and a private deck, with city views over Hollywood. A+ juxtaposition of eras.
