This five-bedroom home was designed by Wallace Neff in 1926 in the Spanish-revival style the architect is best known for. Situated across the street from the former estate of studio head Jack Warner, the home has some Hollywood history of its own. Legendary choreographer Busby Berkeley, whose hypnotic dance numbers highlighted classic films like 42nd Street and Footlight Parade, once lived here. So did John L. Balderston, the Universal screenwriter who wrote such horror classics as The Mummy and The Bride of Frankenstein.
The entryway into the 5,000 square-foot home features red Saltillo tile flooring and a staircase adorned with an ornate wrought iron railing. The tilework extends into the kitchen and around the side of the house, while the living room features hardwood flooring and a magnificent beamed ceiling. Five terraces, including one that is accessed from the master bedroom, offer plenty of space to sit outdoors and enjoy the views. And in true Golden Age Hollywood tradition, the backyard is outfitted with pool and cabana. Asking price is $7.98 million.
