About this single-family home
On the market for the first time in 53 years, Villa Dorada is a meticulously preserved1929 Spanish Revival estate, gracefully set on a rare, flat cul-de-sac in the coveted Outpost Estates. From the Hollywood Sign to Downtown Los Angeles and all the way to the Pacific Ocean, its sweeping views are nothing short of breathtaking. At approximately 7,400 sq. ft., this architectural jewel stands as a testament to the artistry and cultural spirit of Los Angeles' Golden Age. Steeped in Hollywood lore, Villa Dorada has hosted some of the industry's most legendary figures - Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula, once called it home, followed by Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen, who shared it with close friend Frank Sinatra. Each owner has honored the estate's legacy, preserving signature elements: pristine magnesite floors, a rare wood-paneled elevator, intimate "telephone room," original intercom system, hand-carved wooden doors, vintage tilework, period lighting and distinctive Art Deco brass doorknobs. The three-level residence offers four spacious en-suite bedrooms and an expansive two-bedroom staff quarters with private living room and kitchen. Ideal for entertaining, the step-down parlor off the entry features a built-in bar and guest bath, while the lower-level ballroom, anchored by an oversized fireplace, opens directly to the backyard. Multiple terraces invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, framed by dramatic city-to-ocean vistas. A generous yard, spacious three-car garage, and mature landscaping complete this singular property. This is your extraordinary chance to own an authentic piece of Los Angeles history, preserved with care. Outpost Estates is zoned for no tour buses.
