Authentic 1928 Spanish in Lake Hollywood Knolls, where silent film star Harry Langdon pressed his name and his handprint into the wet concrete steps on November 25, 1933, beside a carved beer stein, ten days before Prohibition ended. The signatures are still there. Set behind a walled and gated brick courtyard, mature olive trees and bougainvillea climbing an arched entry to a carved wood door set with stained glass, the home sits between the energy of Hollywood and the neighborhood charm of Studio City, private and quiet behind dual-pane windows. Inside, the living room stretches beneath dark exposed beams, anchored by a sculpted corner fireplace and a deep arched bookshelf set into the plaster. A pair of doors opens it into the sun room, vaulted and wrapped in windows on two walls, flexible as a study, a studio or a place for visiting family, with its own door to the private balcony and the primary bedroom beyond. The dining room sits between arched openings and built-in niches, stepping down to a generous kitchen in white cabinetry and quartz on terra cotta tile. Two bedrooms and two baths complete the level. Two spaces handle the entertaining: the private front courtyard for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and an expansive lower terrace walled by a mature ficus hedge and strung with cafe lights, where the owners have hosted gatherings of up to sixty guests. A Hollywood Sign trail entrance sits at the end of the street. The attached garage is currently a finished executive office, easily returned to parking. At the foot of those 1933 steps is the Frida Apartment, named by the owners for Frida Kahlo and furnished in her spirit, with a small portrait of the artist in the bath. A complete private guest suite with its own entrance, family room, kitchen, bath, walk-in closet and a bedroom larger than either upstairs, it conveys furnished. City-approved JADU plans convey with the covenant already recorded, a path chosen deliberately because it preserves short-term rental use. As a short-term rental it has averaged approximately $3,500 per month for the current owners. Timeless character and modern flexibility in the heart of the Hollywood Hills. Some houses have history. This one has it signed and dated.
