Steeped in cinematic history and architectural prestige, this 10,179-square-foot Spanish Revival masterpiece sits prominently along the 8th green of the Wilshire Country Club. Originally envisioned by the legendary Roland E. Coate for socialite Eva K. Fudger, the estate later served as the private residence of billionaire aviator and movie mogul Howard Hughes. Today, the gated South Muirfield Road property remains an iconic fixture of Hancock Park, greeting guests with a grand motor court and a timeless facade that seamlessly marries “Old Hollywood” glamour with meticulously preserved period details.
The interiors represent a masterful blend of classic charm and contemporary high-end utility, anchored by a chef’s kitchen featuring polished brass countertops and a monumental 24-foot island. This culinary heart flows into a voluminous family room, characterized by custom floor-to-ceiling shelving and a sophisticated private bar. Upstairs, the primary sanctuary offers a rare vantage point, framing panoramic views of the Hollywood Sign and the sprawling emerald fairways of the golf course. From its 3-car workshop to its curated, high-volume living spaces, this estate remains one of Los Angeles’ most storied and elegant architectural gems.
