Close proximity to the World Famous Sunset Strip, Hollywood and Highland, Ventura Blvd.Tucked away on a secluded bluff with unencumbered views of the San Fernando Valley, this private mid-century 4 bedroom, 3 bath home sits just above Mulholland Drive-one of the most famous highways in the country. 3018 Paulcrest Drive, built in 1961, is 3,730 sq. ft. home situated on a flag lot almost an acre in size and accessible only by a long hidden driveway. Sheltered by old trees and lush foliage, the home offers unparalleled privacy-something valued by the celebs in the neighborhood of which there are many. (Shhh. Rumor has it Ann-Margret lived in this very house in the heyday of the 60s.)Lying in the Mulholland Corridor, 3018 Paulcrest is also a part of local L.A. history. Constructed in 1924, the twenty-four mile Mulholland Drive is the eastern section of the longer fifty-five mile Mulholland Scenic Parkway, the winding road that starts in Hollywood's Cahuenga Pass and reaches all the way to the Pacific Ocean.Winding along the top of the mountains the road divides Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley and offers spectacular views of both. The brainchild of William D. Mulholland, L.A. water chief, the highway was created to link the city with rural areas and provide a more accessible route for conveying water. It would also allow access to land along the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills slopes and aid in the development of the hills.Designed by construction engineer, DeWitt Raeburn, the glorious winding road with hairpin turns and dead man curves soon became a favorite spot of racing enthusiasts. John Carradine and Gary Cooper were among the first Hollywood movie stars to race their Duesenbergs up there and by the 1950s, Mulholland was hopping. Anyone with a sports car met up there for rallies. Tickets were even sold. James Dean honed his driving chops and Steve McQueen, in his Jaguar XKSS, tore up that road.And for those who didn't like to drive fast, the secluded highway offered other forms of recreation. It still does today. 3018 Paulcrest Drive holds court over Mulholland Drive; the glittering lights of the San Fernando Valley, and the nearby Briar Summit Open Space Preserve with its wildlife and gentle hiking trails.3018 Paulcrest is an enclave within an enclave and one of the best keep secrets of the Mulholland Corridor. The neighbors would appreciate it if we kept it to ourselves. Annual - $12,000 Per Month
