From the Agent: "This French Normandy townhome in Walter C. King’s landmark Chateau Beachwood was designed in 1937 and was reportedly built by Warner Bros. to house their starlets (legend has it, this list includes Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Madonna, and Marilyn Monroe, who is said to have lived in this very unit). Enjoy a sun-soaked living area with oversized casement windows and strip oak hardwood floors, leading through to the formal dining area and all-white kitchen that features stainless-steel Bertazzoni stove and a microwave, wine fridge, and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers. Beyond the kitchen is the laundry room with a stacked washer and dryer and a back door leading out to a stoop and beautiful gardens."
The home sits on a large corner lot in the Hollywood Dell district, just a short drive away from many landmarks, including Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign.

Tall windows with blush-pink curtains allow ample natural light inside, which reflects off the hardwood floors in the living areas.
