Welcome to a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Hollywood's most iconic estates. Nestled in coveted Outpost Estates, this 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece was the longtime residence of legendary host Bob Barker. Restored and reimagined by acclaimed designer Julia Dempster, it embodies the romance of Old Hollywood with the sophistication of contemporary luxury. Built atop the site of "The Outpost," the adobe home that marked Hollywood’s birth, this landmark is Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 673. With a provenance as rich as its design, 1851 Outpost Drive is more than a home; it is a chapter of Los Angeles history. The estate features six spacious bedrooms, six baths, and a powder room. A 601 sqft basement includes a sauna and two additional rooms ideal for guests, office, or gym. A stylish home office with en-suite bath doubles as a guest suite or studio. Original details have been preserved, from the fresco ceiling and arched doorways to stained-glass windows and the iconic bar in the wood-paneled library. The dramatic fireplace and sweeping interiors evoke Hollywood grandeur. Dempster’s restoration brings natural textures and warmth, with Roman clay and limewash finishes enhancing the light. The chef's kitchen is a masterclass in form and function, with custom oak cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and breathtaking Viola Monet marble. The home offers two primary suites: the main with dream walk-in closet and his-and-hers baths, and a second with dual closets for guests or family. Bathrooms showcase book-matched travertine showers and marble thresholds. European oak floors run seamlessly, while hand-selected Zia tiles add character to the secondary baths. An infrared sauna offers a serene wellness retreat. Outside, the grounds feel like a private resort: pool, expansive lawn, and a towering oak tree create a sanctuary just moments from Runyon Canyon, the Sunset Strip, and the pulse of Hollywood. With its location, history, and world-class design, 1851 Outpost Drive is not simply a residence; it is a legacy awaiting its next custodian.
