Jetliner views of the city and Hollywood sign make for a magical romantic getaway in this historic Spanish villa where actor Eddie Albert once lived. Minutes away from the action in Hollywood yet completely secluded in this private setting that boasts an acre of wooded hillside with many patios where sightings of deer and hummingbirds are common. Minutes from heart of Hollywood, Sunset Strip, Universal Studios, and Warner Brothers. This house features all original hardwood floors, Talavera tiles, wooden beamed ceiling, French doors and windows and a large Spanish tiled terrace where you can eat alfresco under the sun or the stars.

Why the Owner Chose Hollywood: We fell in love with the Hollywood Hills back in the mid 90s and decided to buy an old Hollywood Home built in the 1930s this year. It's a magical place with stunning views, including the Hollywood sign and it's like our own private retreat with a small bamboo forest outside our bedroom window. We both have always loved old Spanish style houses and this one exudes charm.

The only thing that we didn`t like was having to leave at the end of our stay. The house, the views and the location were absolutely fantastic.

A Cool Oasis in the Middle of it all
Out of the chaos that is the Hollywood area, this is a relaxing spot with great views. If you want a neat place, just outside the action, this is your place. Really enjoyed our stay.

Dazzling location
This location had the most amazing views of LA and was located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I’m an LA native and this was so conveniently close to all the places I wanted to take my family for a visit. The house itself was so quaint and comfortable. Also, the host was so great to talk to and was so accommodating. We can’t wait to come back.

Old Hollywood Charm in a Private Oasis
What a unique experience to stay in this fantastic home on a private lot with a breathtaking view of Universal City. We loved sipping coffee and wine on the patio in the lush surroundings. The house had everything we could need and we were very comfortable. A great place to unwind a rest after long days in Universal Hollywood.

Why they chose this property

Debbie and I fell in love with each other and with the Hollywood Hills back in the mid 90s and decided to buy an old Hollywood Home built in the 1930s this year.

What makes this property unique

Our home is so close to everything including Hollywood, Universal Studios, Farmer's Market, Beverly Hills but when you're sitting on the balcony looking out over Universal you feel as if you're worlds away from the busy city. Quiet and surrounded by nature. It makes it difficult to leave the house.
