Amidst the sprawling fairways and verdant greens of the famed Wilshire Country Club lies an architectural treasure steeped in Tinseltown lore. The Howard Hughes Estate, a Spanish Revival masterpiece nestled along the 8th hole, conjures images of old Hollywood glitz and glamour. This 10,179 square-foot manor, enveloped in meticulous grounds designated as L.A. Historic Cultural Monument #1123, was originally designed by acclaimed architect Roland E. Coate for socialite Eva K. Fudger before becoming the residence of the legendary billionaire.
As you traverse the gated driveway to the grand motor court, one can’t help but ponder the history of the site. The voluminous family room lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves evokes Hughes’ entrepreneurial spirit. The sprawling backyard oasis, complete with lounge areas, pizza oven and sparkling pool, recall lavish gatherings of Hollywood royalty. The intimate screening room whispers of late-night movie marathons and clever commentary. With a total of eight well-appointed bedrooms and 9.5 baths, the estate, complete with a guest residence, provides ample room for relaxation and rejuvenation.
From the chef’s kitchen with 24-foot island to the views of the Hollywood Sign, this property seamlessly blends classic charm and contemporary luxury. For $19,995,000, you can own a piece of history on the grounds of one of L.A.’s most exclusive clubs.
