Right in the heart of Hollywoodland (and on the outer edge of Griffith Park) you’ll find a fantastic property just north of Beachwood Canyon that offers 1920s charm and a long list of modern updates.

Light pours in through the oversized windows and highlights the gleaming hardwood floors. This home, which features three bedrooms and four baths (two full, and two half), was initially built in the mid-1920s, and is one of the original “Hollywoodland” homes. Recently, the home has undergone extensive renovation.

With fresh (and neutral) interior paint, the walls offer a blank canvas for the new owner’s particular tastes. The kitchen also boasts some new features, including granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and even a separate pizza oven.

Just some of the additional amenities here include a wine cellar, a white marble living room fireplace, a detached guest suite (with its own private entrance), and a large back deck and gazebo that offer the ideal space for entertaining or taking in views of the nearby Beachwood Canyon. There is also an attached 2-car garage.

Located at 2831 Hollyridge Drive, this property is currently listed for sale at just under $2.2 million. Private tours of the home can be arranged for interested purchasers.

Set high on a corner lot and surrounded by mature palms, fruit trees, and gardens, this Highland Park cottage, which was initially built in 1912, provides glimpses of yesterday, along with today’s modern conveniences.

Plenty of natural light pours in through the large windows throughout. Outdoors on the roughly 12,000 square foot lot there is a detached two-car garage, and magnificent views from the large covered porch.

This unique property, which is located at 405 N. Avenue 53 in Highland Park – and is a contributing structure in the area’s Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) – is currently offered for sale at $1.15M. Private tours can be set up for interested purchasers.

If you’ve dreamed about having your very own ranch in a beautiful and private southern California location, then this property could be exactly what you’re looking for. Sprawling across nearly 20 acres in the foothills of Temecula – and aptly named Owl Creek Ranch – this retreat has it all.

This one-of-a-kind equestrian compound on 20 acres is located at 39220 Colt Road in Temecula. It is currently on the market for $1.295M, with monthly homeowners association dues of $64. Private tours of the home, land, and other amenities can be arranged for interested purchasers.

Built in 1950, the majority of the home has beautiful wood flooring which is set against a myriad of textures such as paint, brick, wainscoting, and even copper. All of the bedrooms are ample in size, with the master suite offering a private bath – with a tub, shower, and two vanities – and a large walk-in closet.

Relax by the living room fireplace, while enjoying the natural light that pours in through the many floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors. Other conveniences include the large, separate laundry area, and the spacious two-car garage.
