Description

Perched within the coveted enclave of Outpost Estates, this extraordinary 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival is a living piece of Hollywood history, once the longtime home of Bob Barker and now exquisitely re-envisioned by renowned interior designer Julia Dempster, whose tasteful, timeless aesthetic spans international projects. Meticulously and historically restored over the course of two years, the renovation honors the home's original architectural integrity while seamlessly introducing modern-day luxury. Set on the legendary site of The Outpost, the adobe that marked Hollywood's very first residence, the property holds the rare distinction of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 673, representing an irreplaceable convergence of heritage, artistry, and refinement. Behind its timeless faade, the estate unfolds to include six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a main-level powder room, along with an approximately 601-square-foot lower level featuring two flexible rooms ideal for guest or maid accommodations, gym, office, or creative use. Original architectural elements remain defining features throughout: arched doorways, stained-glass windows, a hand-painted fresco ceiling, a dramatic living room fireplace, and a richly wood-paneled library with a classic built-in bar. The interiors are layered with natural texture and warmth, incorporating Roman clay and lime wash finishes, wide-plank European oak flooring, custom white oak cabinetry, and handcrafted Zia tile.The kitchen serves as a central focal point, appointed with Thermador appliances and striking Viola Monet marble across the island, countertops, and backsplash. Two generously scaled primary suites offer exceptional privacy and flexibility, each with spa-style bathrooms, while an integrated infrared sauna enhances the home's sense of retreat. The grounds unfold as a private oasis, featuring a pool, expansive lawn, and a mature oak tree that anchors the landscape, evoking a resort-like atmosphere. Just moments from Runyon Canyon, the Sunset Strip, and the cultural pulse of Hollywood, this is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant estate defined by legacy, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.
