Aaron Zelman is hoping to finally move on from his L.A.-area home; the TV writer/producer has attempted to sell the property several times over the past 9 years. Pricing must have been the issue in the past, as the period Spanish Eclectic is overflowing with charm. Built in 1926, the triple-story house was designed by Hollywoodland architect Vincent Palmer.
Located just below the iconic Hollywood sign in Beachwood Canyon, the nearly 3,000-square-foot home holds four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. What makes the house unique is the number of classic architectural details: terra-cotta tiles, wrought-iron accents, mahogany floors, and rough-hewn wood ceiling beams. Outdoor living space includes a terrace, a built-in grilling station, and a tiled fountain. Views of L.A. are impressive from the verdant niche of backyard.
Zelman first listed the property for $2 million back in 2008; most recently, the home was offered at $1.7 million, in 2014. Today’s real estate market is a lot friendlier than it was in 2008 and 2014, however. At its present $1.8-million price tag, the fall season might be the year Zelman passes papers on his Hollywood home.
Zelman is a two-time Emmy nominee for his work on “Damages” and “Silicon Valley.”
