The Anchor of the Canyon: A compound unlike anything else.
Our obsession with this compound is all consuming. Ten acres at the base of Runyon Canyon containing three historic residences, private trails, gardens, aviaries, and over a century of layered Hollywood history. Very few properties still exist in this form: identity intact, expansive, completely removed, and still minutes from downtown.

Inside
The compound consists of three separate homes, each carrying its own architectural language and era. The primary residence, a 1920s Spanish Hollywood Revival with later additions and interiors by Paul R. Williams, holds the scale and formality you’d expect from early Hollywood estates, but without excessive ornament. Nearby, a turn-of-the-century Craftsman introduces a softer, more grounded vibe; while the 1800s writer’s cottage feels almost integrated into the landscape. What’s compelling is not simply the architecture itself, but the coexistence of multiple periods and sensibilities across one property. Nothing has been forced into a singular aesthetic. The compound allows each structure to remain fully itself.
Outside
Trails move through the canyon directly from the property. Gardens and greenhouses live between structures. Aviaries, art studio spaces, mature trees, open clearings…the grounds feel as though they have been accumulated over time. The infinity pool and spa sit within the terrain, ready for daily use. The property functions like its own private environment. One you might find hard to leave, even for the afternoon.
The O' Factor
A rare surviving piece of old Hollywood that still retains the looseness, eccentricity, and scale that once defined Los Angeles before the city became increasingly compressed and overdeveloped. The multiple houses. The trails. The greenhouses. The feeling of discovering different parts of the property gradually over time. We have to wonder, who lived here? And who will be next?
