5860 Carolus Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Property Description

The Carolus House. Tucked into the storied hills of Bronson Canyon, The Carolus House seamlessly blends the romance of Old Hollywood with the comforts of modern California living. Originally built in 1926 as one of the neighborhood's celebrated Hollywood Storybook Homes, the residence reflects the architectural character that first made this enclave one of Los Angeles' most enchanting hillside communities. Thoughtfully reimagined down to the studs, the home has undergone an extensive renovation, including updated plumbing, electrical systems, redesigned bathrooms, and a sophisticated kitchen appointed with high-end appliances. Every improvement was made with respect for the home's original character while creating a residence that lives effortlessly for today's lifestyle. The home offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms across approximately 2,185 square feet of living space, in addition to a finished bonus room on the third floor that is not included in the stated living area. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home flows effortlessly to inviting outdoor spaces featuring a spacious patio, built-in barbecue, spa, and sun deck, all overlooking tranquil, tree-lined canyon views. A dedicated gym completes the home's blend of comfort, wellness, and functionality. The offering also includes an adjoining, separately parceled lot, presenting a unique opportunity seldom available in the Hollywood Hills. Ready-to-Issue (RTI) plans for the adjoining parcel are included with the sale, providing the next owner with a meaningful head start should they choose to build. Alternatively, the parcel may remain as open space, enhancing privacy, preserving the surrounding natural setting, or offering flexibility for future use. The additional parcel represents a rare opportunity to own and shape a property with options that are increasingly difficult to find in this coveted hillside neighborhood. Rich in character and thoughtfully reimagined, The Carolus House offers a distinctive blend of Old Hollywood architecture and modern California living, creating a home that feels as timeless as its setting.
