Unassuming home tucked away in the California hills comes with a very famous neighbor
An estate with deep Hollywood links has landed on the real estate market in the visually stunning Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
The California home — nicknamed “Wildwood” — is listed for $6.4 million and not only was once owned by silent film actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr., but it also has the right to call famed director Steven Spielberg their neighbor, a news release says.
While that is certainly a perk, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is a dream come true on its own. Sitting on a half-acre, the 3,992-square-foot residence sits peacefully among lush greenery and almost blends in with its background — giving it a fairy-tale-like appeal.
The outside may be on the modest side (especially when compared to other estates for sale in the area), but the inside is stacked with elegant features, according to the listing on The Agency, including:
Peg and groove oak floors
Floor-to-ceiling fireplaces
Chef’s kitchen
High ceilings
Wraparound deck
Two-car garage
Security features
Indoor/outdoor sound system
The house also comes with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
Fairbanks Jr. was known for his work during the Golden Era of Hollywood and was once married to legendary film actor Joan Crawford, IMDb says.
Spielberg is best known for directing, among others: “Jaws,” “Indiana Jones,” “E.T.,” “Jurassic Park,” “Schindler’s List” and “Saving Private Ryan.”
The listing is held by Rawley Valverde, Adam Rosenfeld and Jon Grauman.
