Set behind a tall hedge of lush greenery, beyond the gated, expansive front yard, you'll step into the magic of Old Hollywood with this rare opportunity to own a legendary estate in the world-famous Hollywood Hills. This home offers Formal Living and Dining Rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a Den/TV Room, Family Room, and multiple view decks on an unusually large usable lot. Once the glamorous retreat of Academy Award winning screen icon Norma Shearer, known for her unforgettable roles in The Divorcee, The Women, Romeo and Juliet, and countless classics, this romantic 1922 Spanish-style villa captures the timeless allure of California living. Nestled just above the city in the coveted enclave of The Hollywood Dell, this enchanting residence offers both celebrity pedigree and irresistible charm. Set on an expansive, gently sloping 14,000+ square foot lot, the property is a serene oasis with sweeping views from the Griffith Observatory across the hills to downtown LA's sparkling skyline. With over 2,400 square feet of living space, the home artfully blends original architectural character with more contemporary enhancements. Vaulted ceilings, vintage details, and sun-drenched rooms create an inviting canvas for entertaining or intimate relaxation. The permitted split-level, Eastern-wing addition includes a luxurious primary suite and a versatile family room, ideal as a media lounge, fourth bedroom, or creative studio. The family room flows seamlessly onto a spacious view terrace and provides yet another outdoor spot for morning coffee, practicing yoga or having an intimate conversation. The primary suite is a sanctuary offering serenity and breathtaking vistas from its private balcony. Moments from Franklin Village, Hollywood Boulevard, and a vibrant array of cafes, shops, and cultural hotspots, this home offers seclusion without sacrificing convenience. With its R-2 zoning, there's extraordinary potential to expand, build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or design a second residence on the same property. More than a home, this is a legacy property, an invitation to craft your own chapter of Hollywood history in one of its most cherished neighborhoods. Location is everything and this property offers the convenience of a short drive to the studios in Hollywood, Universal City and Burbank. Come experience the property in person since photos cannot truly portray the magical essence of this extraordinary place. Own a Storied Piece of Hollywood's Golden Age.
