Bob Barker's estate of 50 yrs will be an opportunity of a lifetime for a lucky Buyer to acquire one of Outpost Estate's most famous homes. Bring this magnificent historical home back to its original splendor while adding your own style and personal touches. The current home, built in 1929, sits on the site of an adobe (the Original "Outpost"), which was the very first home built in Hollywood. General Harrison Grey Otis, the founder of the Los Angeles Times purchased this adobe in 1880 and lived in it until his death in 1917. The Outpost was demolished and the current home was built in its place in classic Spanish Colonial Revival style. The home is measured at 4,855 sqft with a 601 sqft basement that could open onto its own private backyard and the home has an attached 450 sqft garage. The home consists of four bedrooms and three baths on the second floor and did contain two bedrooms/one bathroom in the basement. Each of the second-floor baths contain both a shower and tub. There are an additional two half baths on the ground floor. The home has a magnificent original fresco on the hallway ceiling and features both rounded doors and doorways, a spectacular fireplace in the LR, original stained glass windows and doors, and a wonderful original bar in the library/den. The home has a large and inviting pool and a great flat backyard with a majestic Oak Tree framing the property. The home is City of LA Historic-Cultural Monument No 673 and is within easy walking distance to Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The property has not been altered since it was acquired by Mr Barker in 1969 and is a wonderful opportunity to bring this sleeping beauty back to life! It will be impossible not to fall in love and immediately see the abundant potential. The Outpost Estates development was one of the first neighborhoods in the country to offer all-underground utilities. The Mills Act Historical Property Contract Program should also be investigated here. Flying V Realty Investment Co. contractually can not act as a dual agent in the sale of the property and can only represent the Seller.
