Not every celebrity home in L.A. is a swanky modern or a glamourous, storied mansion worth double-digit millions. Some, by comparison, are more modest and approachable. Jason Schwartzman’s nearly 100-year-old cottage in the city’s friendly, easy-going Toluca Lake neighborhood is a great example of this.
Schwartzman, known for his roles in six Wes Anderson films as well as for starring in movies like “Marie Antoinette” or “Saving Mr. Banks,” purchased the updated, circa-1926 charmer last year. Since then, it’s been he and his family’s primary residence, but they are now ready to part with it for the price of $1.749 million.
Looking like your classic, picture-perfect family home and nestled close to its neighbors, the property offers a bright, three-bedroom home and a one-bedroom, one-bath detached house out back for visitors or creative use. It’s been updated thoroughly and is all set for comfortable modern living while still boasting subtle nods to the past. Arched doorways, latch windows, and original red oak flooring have all been wonderfully preserved. Of course, high ceilings and covered outdoor space are always a happy sight for potential buyers.
As well as walking in the footsteps of other famous faces who have called Toluca Lake home, including Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Meghan Trainor, you gain a go-to dinner party story with this home as well. Schwartzman is in the Coppola family, one of Hollywood’s entertainment dynasties. He’s the grandson of Carmine Coppola, the late and great composer, and nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola.
Danny Emmer of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
