A historic listing: First time on the market in over four decades

Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers vaulted ceilings and an en suite bathroom complete with a large bathtub, double sinks, a separate shower area, and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a hallway bathroom, making the house a comfortable living space with a touch of Hollywood magic.
