The Most Wonderful House In Outpost Estates, $4.3M

These days, it’s rare to see a property on the market that hasn’t been staged for sale. And in the case of this lovely house, the staging has been done by noted interior designer Francesca Grace, creating an ambiance that’s up to the moment but respecting its original Spanish Revival aesthetic. Currently the home of singer and songwriter, Ingrid Michaelson (and formerly the home of Ashley Tisdale) this c1928 dwelling is a Hollywood classic with epic views of Downtown L.A.Photo Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyLooking much as it did in the 1920s when it was originally developed and built by Charles E. Toberman, Outpost Estates remains one of Hollywood Hills’ loveliest neighborhoods, thanks in part to strict building restrictions and design approval protocols; one of LA’s earliest planned subdivisions, it was the first to have underground utilities and setback requirements. The neighborhood’s luxuriously romantic dwellings, adorned with patios and fountains—plus its proximity to the Hollywood studios—made it an instant success with the film community.Photo Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtySheltered behind a private courtyard, the interiors subtly reflect the past.Photo Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto Credit: William Myers for Sotheby’s International RealtyGo to the listing for more images and details.

A Hidden Compound In South Pasadena, $3.18M

Designed in 1914 by the Irish-born emigre architect Louis DuPaget Millar for a Scottish lumber baron’s estate—at a time when enterprising immigrants were flocking to Southern California from their chilly birthplaces—this exceptional property has been transformed by its owners into a walled compound with a lush landscape that, once inside the gate, seems miles from anywhere. The transformation not only included updates to the original structure, but sleek new living spaces were extended into the garden, along with a new garage and guest house fronting the street.Photo Credit: Sterling Reed PhotographyOnce inside the gate, a long pergola with a decades-old wisteria leads to the main structure, flanked by the guest quarters that double as an office and pool house.Photo Credit: Sterling Reed PhotographyPhoto Credit: Sterling Reed PhotographyLike all successful projects, this one is all about collaboration. The project was led by the owner, documentary filmmaker Lisa Rhoden Boyd and her husband, producer/director David Boyd, who worked closely with local general contractor Bo Zarnick and designer Rozalynn Woods on the design and finishes of the modern addition, along with Jonathan Morris of Culver City based landscape firm, Coffman Morris Landscape.
