The Most Wonderful House In Outpost Estates, $4.3M

These days, it’s rare to see a property on the market that hasn’t been staged for sale. And in the case of this lovely house, the staging has been done by noted interior designer Francesca Grace, creating an ambiance that’s up to the moment but respecting its original Spanish Revival aesthetic. Currently the home of singer and songwriter, Ingrid Michaelson (and formerly the home of Ashley Tisdale) this c1928 dwelling is a Hollywood classic with epic views of Downtown L.A.

Looking much as it did in the 1920s when it was originally developed and built by Charles E. Toberman, Outpost Estates remains one of Hollywood Hills’ loveliest neighborhoods, thanks in part to strict building restrictions and design approval protocols; one of LA’s earliest planned subdivisions, it was the first to have underground utilities and setback requirements. The neighborhood’s luxuriously romantic dwellings, adorned with patios and fountains—plus its proximity to the Hollywood studios—made it an instant success with the film community.

Sheltered behind a private courtyard, the interiors subtly reflect the past.

Go to the listing for more images and details. An outstanding opportunity to own an historic Hollywood property in perfect condition, represented by Eric Lavey of Sotheby’s International Realty. Additionally, there are contemporaneous images of this home from Toberman’s archives, plus a (somewhat rambling) video about Outpost Estates and Runyon Canyon Park from the inimitable California chronicler Huell Howser.
