Thoughts: There was a lot of buzz surrounding the Walt Disney house when it came on the market in August. I saw it in person and it needed a lot of updating, but with so much history behind its walls, I’m not surprised that it sold so quickly. It also went for over asking, which is very rare for a property in this price range, but this was definitely a special property!
The House: 3705 Alzada Rd
Listing Date: 8/17/2011
Original Listing Price: $1,100,000
Sold For: $960,000 in 31 days
Thoughts: Altadena has a lot of great homes, but it’s not a premier location for most buyers. However, this house was really unique, which helped it sell for a great price.
Samuel-Novarro House In The Oaks
2255 Verde Oak Drive
Los Angeles 90068
3 BR, 3 BA
$4,195,000
The historic Samuel-Novarro house was built in 1928 by Lloyd Wright for Ramon Novarro’s close friend and business manager, Louis Samuel. The residence changed hands when Novarro (best known for his role in Ben-Hur) discovered Samuel had been embezzling from him and using some of the money to pay his mortgage on the Lloyd Wright home. Novarro took over ownership of the art deco/Mayanesque estate to avoid pressing charges and bringing unwanted attention to his personal life.
The majestic 4-level, 3-bedroom home is built into the side of a hill in the exclusive Oaks neighborhood in Los Feliz. It has been meticulously restored and features sleek concrete floors, dramatic windows, countless architectural details, beautiful outdoor spaces, an enclosed pool and terrace with a jasmine covered walkway.
The incredible home has consistently attracted celebrity owners, including Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Diane Keaton and Christina Ricci.
