Perched atop its own promontory at the very top of Kew Drive (on a double lot), this one-of-a-kind Spanish estate offers unmatched privacy, jetliner views, and a rich creative legacy in the heart of Laurel Canyon. Lovingly named "Belladonna" and built in the 1920s, the property has hosted icons like Marilyn Monroe and is said to have inspired countless songs, films, and screenplays within its storied walls. With many thoughtful updates completed in 2023 including a brand-new roof, windows, and bathrooms, the 3 bed / 2 bath main residence features wood-beam ceilings, original architectural details, and sweeping views from nearly every room, stretching from the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory to Downtown L.A., the ocean, and Catalina Island. An open, sunlit layout flows seamlessly to wraparound decks, an in-ground hot tub, and a backyard dining area shaded by mature fruit trees (pomelo, lemon, kumquat, tangerine). A separate 2 story, fully self contained, 1 bed / 1 bath guesthouse with soaring ceilings and private yard and balcony currently generates $4K/month in rental income, with potential for more. The property also includes a versatile bonus basement studio, separate hidden office, a spacious two-car garage, secure gated entry, and a rooftop deck with true 360 views, arguably the most iconic in Los Angeles. Whether you're seeking a creative sanctuary, income-producing retreat, or piece of Hollywood history, this is where legacy lives above the city lights.
