This architectural gem, originally crafted by the visionary architect and art director Harry McAfee, boasts a legacy as rich and captivating as its design.

Its current owner, acclaimed filmmaker Roman Coppola, has devoted the last three decades to lovingly preserving and enhancing the property, meticulously restoring its original character and charm.

The result is a residence that not only honors its illustrious past but also stands as a testament to refined elegance and cinematic history.

Roman Coppola, born April 22, 1965, is the son of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola and siblings with Sophia Coppola. He is known for his work on films like Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited, collaborating frequently with Wes Anderson. Coppola also directed CQ and co-created the TV series “Mozart in the Jungle,” which won a Golden Globe. Renowned for his creative vision and innovative storytelling, Roman has made significant contributions to both independent and mainstream cinema, continuing the Coppola family legacy of cinematic excellence.

This multi-level private sanctuary in the city has two distinct living areas, each with amazing built-ins.

This family den features easy outdoor access through a pair of French doors and a charming daybed area that provides brilliant natural light.

The second, step-down living room is a bit more formal with gorgeous wood beamed ceilings and a lovely fireplace.

The home simply exudes charm. Look no further than this dreamy tiny secret loft space.

The well appointed kitchen is wonderfully vintage with modern upgrades where it counts, such as this oversized see-through refrigerator.

There’s also a retro-style breakfast nook that is sure to impress and charm company many times over.

The formal dining room feels sent directly from a bygone era, with a wonderful built-in bar clad in natural wood plus a large-scale wine refrigerator and a separate mini-refrigerator for added convenience. Don’t forget to notice the small details, like the vintage sconces, built-in shelving, and wood beamed ceilings.

The home has a bright and convenient office and library with built-in bookshelves where it’s easy to imagine Coppola writing or editing some of his films.

A creatively reimagined laundry room has been transformed into a clandestine speakeasy named, “The Laundry Bar.” It’s brilliantly reminiscent of the roaring twenties – an inspired nod to the era in which it was conceived.

The home has four total bedrooms, three with en suite bathrooms.

All three are considered primary suites. Primary suite #1 has a stylish wood fireplace with a Spanish-style niche just above.

This primary suite is clad in redwood, with treetop views, and has outdoor access to a private balcony.

The home has a storybook-style sunroom.

And three additional bedrooms, all with their own individual quirks and charms, great natural light, unique one-of-a-kind fixtures, and hardwood floors.

6740 Milner Road has a total of three and a half baths.

Some have been tastefully and thoughtfully updated, while others have been left alone including this decadent and splashy green bath. If they did it right in the 20s, – nearly 100 years ago – why touch it?

As you step outside to the majestic backyard, you’re greeted with an outdoor fireplace and tiki-style bar, plus a covered lounging area making this home truly an entertainer’s paradise.

The property includes the neighboring 4,000+ square foot lot, which will provide a sprawling yard adorned with meandering pathways and mature foliage – a major rarity for this area – and also an idyllic retreat for outdoor gatherings and peaceful moments of reflection.

There is also an oversized 2-car garage which also comes with a car lift providing room for a 3rd if needed as well as ample driveway parking.

Whitley Heights was established in the early 20th century and is a historic neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills, renowned for its Mediterranean-style architecture and winding, picturesque streets. Developed by H.J. Whitley, the “Father of Hollywood,” it became Los Angeles’ first celebrity enclave, attracting silent film stars and industry pioneers.

The area’s allure stemmed from its elevated views, exclusive atmosphere, and proximity to Hollywood studios. Over the years, Whitley Heights has been home to numerous notable residents, including actors Rudolph Valentino and Bette Davis, and filmmaker Steven Spielberg.

Its architectural charm and storied past continue to draw entertainment industry professionals and history enthusiasts alike.

The neighborhood’s preservation efforts maintain its historic integrity, making Whitley Heights a coveted address that embodies the glamour and legacy of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

6740 Milner Road brilliantly continues the neighborhood’s extraordinary legacy.

Seamlessly blending historical allure with contemporary comforts, this is a rare and wonderful residence that offers an extraordinary fusion of timeless elegance and modern-day sophistication.
