Description

Tucked behind tall, manicured hedges and nestled beyond a gracious motor court, the Jean Valentino home is a dreamy traditional estate that exudes classic Hollywood glamour. Set in the storied enclave of Lower Sunset Plaza, this sun-dappled retreat offers a blend of privacy, elegance, and cinematic history, hosting such luminaries as James Dean and Frank Sinatra. An expansive living room greets you with city views and natural light streaming through every window, anchored by a beautiful fireplace, hardwood floors and an elegant built-in wet bar. An adjoining den offers garden and city views and includes a walk-in closet and full bath, allowing easy conversion into a charming fourth bedroom or creative studio. Brimming with vintage charm and potential, the kitchen framed by clerestory windows connects to a formal dining room, perfect for hosting dinner parties. Sliding doors lead onto an elevated deck with city views and down to a garden terrace, tailor-made for twinkle-lit evenings and lush, garden-inspired entertaining. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each with ample closet space and ensuite bathrooms feature sweeping views of Palos Verdes. Downstairs, a third bedroom offers its own ensuite bath and generous storage, perfect for guests or a cozy media room. An attached two-car garage and generous motor court provide parking for up to six cars, a rare luxury in this neighborhood. With classic bones and endless charm, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring your personal vision to a beloved piece of Hollywood history, all just moments from world-class dining, shopping, and the pulse of the Sunset Strip.
