Historic Hollywood townhome – El Cabrillo, built in 1928. The spirit of elegant traditional southern California living is encapsulated by this Spanish-style courtyard complex. Hollywood magnate Cecil B. Demille commissioned the building, which was designed by self-taught Arthur & Nina Zwebell. The stunning townhome has 20′ high beamed ceilings, elegant ironwork, French doors, period sconces, and an etched stone fireplace. The property also includes Mills Act tax advantages.

The magnificent courtyard, which mimics a Hollywood movie set, is complete with an Andalusian-style water feature, arched doorways, bright tile, numerous balconies, sculptural succulents and lush greenery.

The unit has a great deal of natural light thanks to the large casement windows, a formal dining room with inset built-in bookshelves, and a bedroom with high ceilings clad in wood.

Well-maintained kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel equipment, and a multi-paneled glass arched door that opens to a private back patio. Additionally, there is central air-conditioning and heat for year-round comfort, and a washer/dryer inside of the unit for added convenience.

With exposed bulb mood lighting and a profusion of bougainvillea overhead, the patio comes to life at night.

There’s something undeniably romantic about a classic courtyard, and this one comes with a bit of Hollywood history to boot. Said to have been utilized as a set in one of Rudolph Valentino’s films, this townhouse is close to all that’s hip in LA, from the Hollywood Bowl to theaters, restaurants, clubs, and more. Live in one of the most fashionable addresses in the city and enjoy all that LA has to offer.
