Historic Bundy Drive Brentwood Home Boasts Charming Guest House

LOS ANGELES, CA — This historic Bundy Drive home was built in 1916 as a "country" house for the developer responsible for L.A.'s iconic HOLLYWOOD sign, and it maintains it's secluded, woodsy feel despite its famous Bundy Drive address.

The house sits on a knoll back from the street amid parklike grounds. The U-shaped home known as "Woodmere" centers around a courtyard and features a charmingly bright orange Dutch door.

A guest house in the back includes one bedroom and makes for an ideal artist's studio.
