“This five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath traditional was designed by Roy Selden Price, whom David Gebhard and Robert Winter’s “An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles” calls “one of the most gifted of Los Angeles Period Revival architects of the 1920s.” If the Movieland Directory can be believed, it was also the home of Laurence Olivier when he first arrived in Hollywood.” -Curbed LA

Beautiful home. I would love to see some dark wood wide plank floors to really make the rooms pop.
My only issue would be how long would it take you to get down the hill? Sunset Plaza dr. is not a fun road to take.

I love dark wood as well. I would assume that many people that live in the Hills, or anywhere for that matter that have driving obstacles in LA there must be an incentive- like a great home, design, square footage… Imagine living in Malibu for that drive! The beach is worth it I suppose. Check the Search for a Home section on this website and play with the map search!
