Nestled within a secluded enclave above the renowned Sunset Strip, this classic Hollywood Regency home has played host to the opulent past of the Golden Age of Hollywood. With a lineage that once hosted luminaries such as Olivia de Havilland, Ava Gardner, and Liberace, this residence exudes a timeless allure that speaks to its unique history. Rarer than rare, this home is located in a small gated enclave above the Sunset Strip and boasts a virtually unheard-of private 2,000+ square foot rooftop terrace with head-on views of the entire Los Angeles basin.
Elegantly and timelessly constructed for the ages in 1937, the property retains its original architectural splendor, resonating with the elite Tinseltown grandeur of the past.
Passing through ivy-clad gates, a serene Zen garden welcomes you, centered around a tranquil koi pond and an indoor-outdoor seating area, creating an oasis of calm.
The allure continues as you step through the entrance, greeted by the resplendent charm of the living room.
The living room is adorned with original walnut floors, lofty ceilings, and a meticulously crafted marble fireplace dating back to the 1930s.
On the opposite side of the foyer is a grand but cozy dining room with cushioned banquette seating and easy access to a private balcony via a pair of wrought iron window paned doors.
With a unique pass through, the first floor makes for easy entertaining. The designer chef’s kitchen features premium-grade stainless steel appliances, harmoniously integrated with a cozy breakfast nook.
Ascending to the second floor reveals two primary bedroom suites, each generously sized.
The primary suites are characterized by their spacious layouts and oversized closets.
The first primary has a luxurious en-suite bath with gorgeous cabinetry, dual sinks, and marble countertops and tiles.
The second primary bedroom suite has brilliant natural light and treetop views.
While its en-suite bath arrives complete with a lavish soaker tub, epitomizing comfort and luxury.
The home’s third bedroom is downstairs and has its own entrance. It is currently used as an at-home gym, but could easily become a third bedroom for visiting guests, an office, or a cozy den.
This level has another full bath, plus a powder room for guests.
And an incredibly luxe laundry room with plenty of storage.
Back on the second level, ascend to the aforementioned rooftop terrace.
The stairwell unfurls to reveal the pièce de résistance—an expansive private rooftop deck, arguably the most capacious entertainment and viewing space along the iconic Sunset Strip. This sky high haven accommodates multiple entertaining and lounging areas, tailor-made for hosting enchanting dinner parties beneath the Southern California stars.
The terrace is absolutely sprawling, nearly doubling the interior’s square footage.
Its commanding 360 degree vistas span from downtown cityscapes to the serene expanse of the Pacific Ocean. This rooftop oasis offers a shaded dining area, an al fresco kitchen, and a designated space for leisurely entertainment, including a TV area, establishing an idyllic and one-of-a-kind setting for entertaining.
The HOA dues are just 1/2 the price of the Sierra Towers nearby, arguably the only celebrity enclave to rival this extraordinarily private compound. What sets 8732 Shoreham Drive apart is its much more intimate and exclusive living experience.
Referred sometimes as “Liberace’s Secret Townhouse,” the property is the ultimate pied-à-terre and forever home, this extraordinary abode offers the glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Age with the demands of modern contemporary living.
All just a block or two away from all the vibrant nightlife, restaurants, and shopping lining the Strip. An incredible legacy endures and an everlasting piece of Hollywood history is ready for its next glamorous era.
