‘Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my Close-Up.’ A rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history at The Legendary El Cabrillo, the iconic historic residence originally commissioned by Cecil B. DeMille and designed by celebrated architects Arthur and Nina Zwebell. Meticulously restored by noted designer Xorin Balbes, this exceptional home is a masterclass in old Hollywood romance and architectural pedigree. Dramatic beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, handcrafted tile, intricate moldings, authentic ironwork, casement windows, and a romantic fireplace create a residence of extraordinary character and atmosphere.

The thoughtfully updated kitchen is appointed with Bosch appliances, while modern comforts include an in-unit stackable washer and dryer. A true rarity at El Cabrillo, the residence also includes a deeded parking space within the gated parking area. Designated as part of an LA Historic-Cultural Monument, El Cabrillo also benefits from the Mills Act, offering substantial property tax advantages to the owner, recently extended for the next ten years.
