Introducing the Howard Hughes Estate, an iconic Spanish Revival masterpiece nestled along the 8th green of Wilshire Country Club. Situated on the prestigious South Muirfield Road in Hancock Park, this architectural gem is steeped in history and adorned with timeless elegance. Originally envisioned by renowned architect Roland E. Coate for socialite Eva K. Fudger, this estate later became the residence of legendary billionaire, movie mogul, and aviator Howard Hughes. Spanning 10,179 square feet, this residence seamlessly blends classic charm with contemporary luxury living. Every detail of this captivating property has been carefully considered, from luxurious finishes to tasteful accents throughout. As you enter through the gated driveway, you're greeted by a grand motor court leading to a spacious 3-car garage and workshop. The chef's kitchen features polished brass countertops and a magnificent 24-foot island, flowing into a voluminous family room adorned with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and separate bar. The primary bedroom offers breathtaking views of the iconic Hollywood Sign and the sprawling fairways of Wilshire Country Club, enveloping you in old Hollywood glamour. With seven other beautifully appointed bedrooms, each offering its own unique blend of comfort and style, this estate provides ample space for relaxation and rejuvenation. An enchanting cobblestone courtyard with an outdoor fireplace serves as a tranquil retreat for both intimate relaxation or entertaining a hundred guests. Step outside to the expansive backyard, an entertainer's paradise complete with multiple lounge areas, a catering kitchen complete with a custom-built stone pizza oven, and a sparkling swimming pool with separate spa. Additional highlights include an intimate screening room, a 2,500-bottle wine vault, and a guest residence with a full kitchen and bath. Surrounded by meticulously landscaped grounds offering lush greenery and panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills, this estate holds a coveted place on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #1123. Don't miss this unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles history.

Hancock Park, located between Wilshire Boulevard and Melrose Avenue, is a historic and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with grand early-20th-century homes and broad, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Larchmont Boulevard near Beverly Boulevard, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and coffee counters set a low-key, polished pace. Architectural identity leans to Spanish Revival, Tudor, and Mediterranean estates behind hedges and mature canopies. The Wilshire Country Club’s greens form a quiet edge, while the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA add a museum-and-park counterpoint nearby. Larchmont Village Wine, Chevalier’s Books, and the Ebell of Los Angeles act as cultural pillars with a distinctly local feel.
