Celebrity home in the Hollywood Hills is ready to turn the key over to a new legend! This hillside Mediterranean villa, recent home to its longtime resident, comedian/actor/author Richard Lewis & former residence of actor Eddie Albert, along w/screenwriters & directors, was built in the magical Hollywood year of 1926 - The same year that the nearby Sunset Tower & Chateau Marmont hotels opened their doors to fame, glory & gossip. Tucked away in a bedrock hill in Laurel Canyon, the pulse of Hollywood from Chaplin to Hendrix to celebs du jour, surrounds this home. If only walls could talk! Open-air living room; Spacious formal dining room; Eat-in kitchen; & a magnificent media room/lounge. On its 'penthouse level' is a full master retreat w/city views & separate office/sitting room. On a historic block, located at the end of a quiet cul de sac, yet moments from the Sunset Strip. This is a wondrous, Hollywood-cool gem for those seeking character, space & an ideal, convenient location!
