Behind a private gate in the Hollywood Hills, a beguiling Spanish villa occupies two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 4,602 square feet, creating an unusually generous and private setting in the heart of the hillside Hollywood Dell neighborhood.


Enclosed by walls and gardens, the property has the feeling of a secluded compound, its architecture and landscape carefully preserved in a way that feels increasingly rare.

Mature fruit trees, including pink lemons, avocados, pomegranates, oranges, and apples, fill the grounds.

While a collection of patios and terraces gives the garden an almost cinematic quality, with one intimate outdoor setting leading naturally to another.

Built around the romance of old-world Spanish architecture, the two-bedroom, two-bath residence is filled with details that give it an unmistakable sense of history and character.

Arched hallways move through the interiors, framing rooms finished with authentic old-world brick, terracotta tile, and beautifully textured plaster.

Multiple skylights draw sunlight into the center of the house, amplifying the warmth of the materials and giving the interiors a luminous, almost courtyard-like quality.

The main living spaces are intimate and gracefully connected. The living room opens to the dining room and charming breakfast room, creating an easy progression between spaces without sacrificing their individual character.

In the kitchen, a breakfast bar provides a natural gathering point alongside a new six-burner range and dishwasher.

A guest bedroom and bath and laundry area complete the main level. A secluded private patio framed by original hand-painted tiled murals adds another layer of old-world character to the garden.

A gorgeous stairwell lined in Spanish tile and finished with graceful wrought-iron railings adds a striking architectural flourish.

Upstairs, the primary suite occupies a more private corner of the house, opening onto a sunroom that feels suspended within the surrounding garden.

Bathed in natural light and overlooking the greenery beyond, the room offers a quiet retreat that could serve equally well as a reading room, studio, or private sitting area.


Outside, the property truly distinguishes itself. The mature garden is not simply an amenity but a natural extension of the home’s Spanish architecture, with established trees, layered plantings, and a succession of patios and terraces creating places for long lunches, evening drinks, or quiet afternoons beneath the canopy.

The unusual combination of two contiguous parcels, mature landscaping, and complete privacy gives the property a scale and sense of enclosure that is difficult to replicate in the Hollywood Hills.

And yet, the city is remarkably close. The Lake Hollywood Reservoir and Griffith Park’s extensive network of hiking trails are just moments away, with routes leading toward the Hollywood Sign, while studios, restaurants, nightlife, and major freeways are all within easy reach.

Romantic in character, richly detailed, and deeply connected to its garden, the home has a warmth and authenticity that feels distinctly its own.

As a Spanish villa surrounded by lush gardens and mature fruit trees, it has the unmistakable feeling of a private residence somewhere along the Mediterranean coast, where life seems to move at a slightly different, gentler, and more introspective pace.
