The Most Interesting Property In Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, CA — It's mind-boggling to think there is a sprawling, historic estate available with nearly three-acres of Highland Avenue real estate just a stone's throw from Hollywood and Highland.

It makes you wonder if this unique and romantic home can survive the plotting of developers. Built in 1920, this home has views of the Hollywood sign that predates the famed letters. For more than 50 years it was home to the Hollywood Art Center School, a quiet oasis for artists with big dreams in the heart of Hollywood. Now it's listed at $11,250,000.

The property boasts a 60-seat stone amphitheater, water falls, hiking trails and a 3,300 square foot Mediterranean-Revival mansion with six bedrooms and three baths. It's flooded with natural light and features a romantic courtyard that will make you feel like your in the Tuscan countryside rather than a block aways from one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.
