This stunning mid-century pool home was designed by genius architect Edward A. Fickett, FAIA, in 1950. One of the pioneers of California’s mid-century modern movement, Fickett was known for his philosophy that emphasized merging indoor and outdoor spaces, which is exemplified by his famous quote: “I think the biggest mistake is when a house doesn’t relate to the outside. It should be part of the world around it.”

Nestled within the coveted enclave of the Hollywood Dell, this exceptional private haven in the hills seamlessly blends the architectural influences of renowned architects and visionaries John Woolf and Paul Williams. This remarkable villa transcends convention, bringing forth an unparalleled synthesis of the best 1920s design elements.
A stunning combination of original Hollywoodland charm, epic Golden Age history, and luxe modern amenities make this Spanish-style home in the Hollywood Dell a rare and wonderful option for the most discerning and shrewd Los Angeles buyers. As one of the original homes built in these rolling hills in the early 1920s, the home was used as the architecture and planning office of Harry Chandler and developers Tracy E. Shoults and S. H. Woodruff who formed a syndicate that would establish the Hollywoodland development in 1923. The three also envisioned and commissioned the now iconic “HOLLYWOODLAND” sign to advertise their properties to the stars and entertainment industry professionals living below. Their sales office, still standing today, was the first structure they built at the entrance of the neighborhood at 2700 N. Beachwood Drive. It was designed in a “storybook” style by John DeLario, the principal architect of the neighborhood in the 1920s. DeLario was also responsible for designing the Two Stone Gates and many of the new homes in the rapidly growing hillside.
