High in the hills of Palisades Riviera, a coveted and quiet section of L.A.’s Pacific Palisades neighborhood, a home full of allure has hit the market. Perched on a half acre, so lush it brings to mind the scenes of Jurassic Park, the treehouse-like spread has an even greater connection to director Steven Spielberg than that. The legendary director owns a home next-door, so whoever picks up the $6,399,995 pad will become his neighbor.
Though set being gates for ample privacy, the 3,992-square-foot sanctuary is oh-so-inviting and approachable when you finally set eyes on it. Painted green, it blends in wonderfully with the exuberant foliage akin to a faraway jungle setting.
Once inside, there’s no question buyers may be interested in updating the house here and there. The home’s architectural details, including walls of windows and a grand floor-to-ceiling fireplace, need not be touched but a new owner could have fun making some cosmetic changes in the kitchen or bathrooms. Currently, the vibe is rustic and cabin-like—a sure-fire atmosphere for feeling at ease all within minutes of Hollywood studios, hiking trails, and the ocean. The unobstructed treetop, canyon, and ocean views don’t hurt either.
With such a location, it’s easy to see why Spielberg settled in the area. And, this listing has a notable history of its own. The four-bedroom home flush with terraces to enjoy the great outdoors once belonged to actor Douglas Elton Fairbanks Jr. Now, Rawley Valverde and Adam Rosenfield of The Agency represent the listing for those wanting to occupy the property next.
