Sited in the Palisades Riviera, one of LA’s most coveted neighborhoods, stands a beautifully restored 1929 iconic Spanish-style compound. Exemplifying Old-Hollywood 20's opulence and architectural detail it’s no surprise its former residents embraced both the location's entertainment-friendly layout and unparalleled privacy.
Most notable of those perhaps was Dennis Quaid, whose illustrious 50 year career has included over 120 screen credits including the neo-noir romance thriller The Big Easy, Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday, Steven Soderbergh’s crime drama Traffic and the critically-acclaimed Far From Heaven.
Quaid’s eclectic career choices often mirrored his colorful off-camera lifestyle, it's easy to see how this 6,114 sq ft home with five bedrooms, grand living room, 10 car motor court, large pool and spa befitted his movie star and musician filled social circles, yet the tranquility of light-filled, thoughtfully curated rooms, with custom ironwork, handcrafted tiles and beautifully manicured grounds speaks to his later family-centric life, a period that saw him become a patient-safety advocate and documentarian.
Today the property still holds all its charm with seamlessly flowing character-rich rooms with vaulted ceilings, oversized period windows, adorned with stained glass accents, historic fireplaces and wainscoting. Modern amenities include a state-of-the-art kitchen, movie/screening room featuring an ultra HD projector, numerous guest suites, an office and fitness center.
Set on an expansive 16,000 sq ft lot, this West Sunset Blvd home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Riviera's prestigious history all perfectly presented for those seeking a lifestyle of modern luxury and privacy.
