Hollywood Hills Celebrity View Estate w\/ Lagoon Pool & City Views from VILLAWAY®
About this house rental
This stunning Hollywood estate, originally owned by Orson Welles, offers an intimate and charming stay in one of Hollywood's most iconic neighborhoods. The almost 3,000 square feet Cape Cod-style estate sits atop Sunset Boulevard on its own 15,000 square foot private knoll, with stunning views of Hollywood and beyond. The property has a fascinating history, having been inhabited by a long list of stars including Rita Hayworth, Peter Lorre, and Paul Williams. The estate boasts four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with a California king-sized bed and a spa-style bath, and three bedrooms with comfortable queen-sized beds. The house offers beautiful views throughout, and a pool table to entertain guests. The villa features a luxurious lagoon pool with a jacuzzi, surrounded by beautiful foliage, and a huge outdoor deck overlooking the stunning views. The estate also offers easy access to Sunset's premier collection of boutiques, restaurants, and nightclubs. The estate was originally built in 1928 by Sidney Toler, who played Charlie Chan in the late 30s and 40s. After several years, the house was then inhabited by Orson Welles, the great American filmmaker, actor, theater director, screenwriter, and producer, widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished dramatic artists of the twentieth century. Welles first found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel, "The War of the Worlds," which was reported to have caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an extraterrestrial invasion was occurring. Although these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to instant notoriety. Orson Welles wrote "Citizen Kane" while living here at this house, which is often considered the greatest film ever made. Overall, this Hollywood gem offers a luxurious and historic stay in one of the most iconic neighborhoods in the world. The home is over 100 years old and has an incredible Hollywood history.
