This Holmby Hills estate was the longtime home of Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor at the height of Hollywood's Golden Age. Built in 1932, it sits behind gates and layers of mature planting on 1.22 acres. Stone paths, sculpture gardens and lily ponds lead to an entry courtyard set around a koi pond, with a detached stone guest suite to one side.

Much of the original character remains: wood-beamed ceilings, domed skylights and iron bannisters. The living room is anchored by a monumental stone fireplace, the piano room beside it has a second hearth, and the formal dining room looks onto water and garden from nearly every angle. A paneled library and family room with a full bar turns into a screening room.

The primary suite has its own wing, with a stone fireplace, a terrace toward the city lights, two dressing rooms, two baths, a sauna and access to a fountain terrace. A second primary suite hides a library office behind a Coromandel screen. Eight bedrooms in all span 14,744 square feet, and below them arched brick corridors lead to a wine cellar, a bar and a billiards room. An elevator serves every floor.

Outside, a wide lawn set with Charles Fine sculptures runs to a pebbled pool and spa under a stone waterfall. A two-story pool house holds a gym and a terrace over the full tennis court, and there is a glass atrium cabana, an outdoor kitchen and a motor court for eight cars.
