Two homes on adjacent lots in tranquil Blanchard Canyon! Surrounded by majestic oak and sycamore trees, the home at 10242 is on the market for the first time in almost 60 years. The property is truly unique and feels like a world away, but it's just a few minutes from great shopping in La Crescenta and La Cañada. Sold with adjacent property at 10250 Mahogany Trail which includes a one bedroom cabin, a perfect spot for an office, guest house, studio or ADU. The two homes both need to be extensively remodeled and/or rebuilt- these are not cosmetic fixers. Septic tank has recently been serviced and appears to be in good working order. Parking for up to 6 vehicles. Neither property will qualify for FHA financing and 10242 may not qualify for conventional financing, so cash or non-conventional financing may be the only option for these very special properties. Properties to be sold “As-Is” and seller will not offer any credits or repairs. Excellent development opportunity for end-user or potential flip for developer/investor with experience and a vision.

Hidden from the street by a wall of lush vegetation, 6002 Graciosa Drive is a revelation from the minute you open the security gate and discover the slate-stone patio, complete with fire-pit and barbecue area, all the way to the back yard big enough for a lap pool. Upon entry, the vaulted ceilings in the great room seem to amplify the natural light that floods in from the 3 sets of french doors that offer unobstructed, sweeping views of the canyon, including the iconic Hollywood sign.The well-laid out floor plan includes an open concept kitchen with Viking appliances, granite countertops, tons of storage, a separate laundry room and half bath off the kitchen. Two bedrooms, separated by a full bath, complete the main floor. The lower floor is a genuine master suite, with a private entrance that open to a huge room dominated by real exposed brick on the south facing wall. A pair of sliding glass doors infuse the room with natural light, and opens to a private deck with expansive views.

Situated at the apex of one of Hollywood Boulevard’s countless elbow curves, this 1962 Mid-Century Modern gem awaits its second owner.  Designed by FAIA architect Marvin Taff, the clean lines are as timeless as the melody and lyrics in California Dreamin’.*  As you watch the lights of the city come to life at the end of a long day, a well-earned glass of wine in hand, you could easily imagine a song like that being written in a place like this.  

For the lover of Mid-Century Modern architecture, this property represents a rare opportunity to be the second owner of this one-of-a-kind beauty.  Someone with vision will recognize the inherent value in the original design, and be creative enough to transform it into something more, a triumphant second act as the Taff House on Hollywood gets ready for its next 60 years.  

This property would easily fit into one of the stories written by noted LA authors Elmore Leonard or Robert Crais.  Located on Hollywood Blvd. just west of Queens Road, the neighborhood brings together maybe the most eclectic mix of characters and history anywhere west of New York City (Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall lived in the house next door that later sold to musician Woody Herman).  Even though the view and natural quiet from your perch feel like a different world, you’ll never get bored with world-famous clubs, restaurants, and hotels just down the hill on the always interesting Sunset strip.  

In addition to the original 1554 sq. feet, the non-conforming studio apartment underneath the living room offers additional value.  With its own private entrance, small kitchen and separate bath, the space offers a lot of possible uses— perhaps as an office, or just as additional storage.  Two additional non-conforming and unfinished rooms (under the master bedroom) are perfect for storage, with relatively easy access and high ceilings in one room.

The side yard offers a new owner the potential to add a separate unit above a new garage (maybe with a new view deck on the roof).  Or simply keep the original footprint and consider adding a pool.  Additional options to explore include converting the current garage to a new master suite, or even a separate unit that could be completely transformed with new glass sliding doors and a second deck with views of the city.

If you’re lucky enough to wake up under the sleek Redwood slat ceilings and catch the first spark of dawn outlined by the downtown LA skyline, you’ll likely be inspired to tackle whatever your day brings you, and maybe even write a classic song. Or the next great American novel. The Taff House on Hollywood is for dreamers, and those who strive to make their dreams come true.

*California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & The Papas, 1965.
