If the walls of this historic Los Angeles house could talk, they’d share fascinating tales of its past, including its role as a once-popular gathering spot for German and Austrian intellectuals, thanks to writer Franz Werfel and his socialite wife Alma, the widow of composer Gustav Mahler. They might also recount the time when Hollywood scions Dennis Hopper’s designer daughter Marin and her entrepreneurial husband John Goldstone, along with Michael Landon’s youngest son Christopher—a horror filmmaker known for Disturbia and Happy Death Day—called this place home.
But there’s more! These walls could offer insights into the life of Maybeck Award-winning architect Barton Myers, who lived here with his wife Victoria. More recently, they would likely speak of the current owner, Travis Nash, who co-founded the luxury cannabis and apparel brand Potent Goods with his Juicy Couture-designer mother, Gela Nash-Taylor.
The house, rich in history and stories, is now available for a new chapter. Records show that Nash and his wife Veronica purchased the property from Christopher Landon in the summer of 2018 for $3.1 million. Now, six years later, the couple is listing the two-story Spanish-style home in Hollywood Hills’ Outpost Estates for just under $4.2 million, with Jade Mills and Alexis LaMontagna of Coldwell Banker handling the listing.
Set behind high walls and bougainvillea-covered gates, the home sits on a third-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, perched high above the Hollywood Bowl. Built in the late 1920s, the residence features over 3,200 square feet of meticulously renovated living space, including four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The interior boasts a mix of dark hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, pitched wood ceilings, and arched doorways.
Highlights of the main level include a step-down living room with a stone fireplace, an adjacent family room with a wet bar, and a modern kitchen equipped with a farmhouse sink, wine cooler, top-tier stainless appliances, and a dining area with views of Griffith Observatory. The lower floor features a luxurious primary suite with a lofted screening/sitting room, a marble bath with dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and two walk-in closets.
The outdoor amenities include a brick-clad courtyard with a tree-shaded entertaining space and a wood-burning fireplace, as well as a garden-filled backyard featuring a tiled spa and multiple terraces offering stunning views of Los Angeles.
