Cheapest Hollywood Hills Home Listed for $849K
A rare offering of two cottages on one lot in Laurel Canyon presents an unusually affordable entry into the exclusive Hollywood Hills market.
The most affordable property currently on the market in the Hollywood Hills has arrived, listing for $849,000 in the historic Laurel Canyon area.
The 1933 property at 1856 Jewett Drive offers a unique opportunity with two distinct homes situated on a single terraced lot, a rarity in the coveted canyon.
The main bungalow, located at street level, features a traditional layout with hardwood floors and a stone fireplace, evoking an earlier era of Los Angeles living. A separate, independent cottage is tucked into the hillside below, accessible via an outdoor staircase. This second unit boasts canyon views and a distinctive outdoor clawfoot tub, perfect for rustic relaxation.
Listing agent Amy Nelson Frelinger of Douglas Elliman described the property as a chance to experience "canyon living from a bygone era," emphasizing its privacy, character, and potential for customization. She noted that the Hollywood Hills continue to provide an alluring retreat from urban life.
The property is marketed as a one-bedroom, two-bathroom pair of "rustic rubies in the rough," located minutes from Sunset Boulevard. The listing leans into the classic Hollywood Hills charm, offering a secluded atmosphere with canyon breezes and birdsong, contrasting with more modern architectural styles.
In a real estate market where starter homes often exceed the million-dollar mark, this Jewett Drive listing stands out as an anomaly—a quirky, character-filled property providing an entry point into one of Los Angeles's most storied neighborhoods at a price below $850,000.
