The former Los Angeles home of silent film star Donald Crisp is now for sale, listed for just under $4 million.
Located in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, this Spanish Colonial-style residence was built for Crisp in 1932. Crisp, who passed away in 1974 at the age of 91, began his acting career during the silent film era and continued until the 1960s, winning an Academy Award for his performance in “How Green Was My Valley.” The street where the home is situated, Crisp Canyon Road, is named in his honor. This property has only been on the market twice in the past 50 years, with the last sale occurring in 2001 for $505,000, according to property records.
Listing agent Ingrid Sacerio of the Agency described the home as having been “restored to perfection while preserving its enchanting and original charm.”
Spanning 3,257 square feet, the residence features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with interior highlights including arched doorways, beamed ceilings, and French oak floors. Outside, the property boasts drought-tolerant landscaping along with rose and succulent gardens. Additional outdoor amenities include a saltwater pool, hot tub, bar area, and an outdoor fireplace.
Other notable features of the home are an artist’s studio, a sports court, a wine cellar, and enclosed plant beds.
