The 1938 property, designed by renowned architect Roland Coate, boasts unobstructed views of downtown LA and features original details like wood paneling, fireplaces, and built-in bookshelves.
Douglas, a leading man of Hollywood’s Golden Age, won two Academy Awards for his roles in “Hud” and “Being There.” He also earned a Tony Award for his stage work.

The property features a wraparound porch, patio space, and a swimming pool with a diving board. Mature landscaping, including avocado trees, fills the park-like grounds. With its unique blend of Old Hollywood charm and modern amenities, this home is sure to captivate fans of Douglas and collectors of historic properties.
