The property served Sir Anthony Hopkins as a second home to accommodate family members, guests, and staff during their stays in Los Angeles. It is located less than a mile from the beach, within the gated community of Sunset Hacienda.
Property Features and Amenities
The guest residence comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious bonus room. The listing was presented by Brooke Enwere, Nicole Plaxen, and Shauna Walters of Sotheby’s International Realty. The property's total area is 1,770 square feet. The residence features a gourmet kitchen, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces. Within the gated complex, updated systems, side-by-side parking, and in-unit laundry facilities are also available.
The Sunset Hacienda community is characterised by Spanish-inspired courtyards with terracotta tiles, palm trees, flowering planters, and a central tiered fountain. Blue tiled water walls cascade into narrow reflecting pools, with the gentle sound of flowing water accompanying the community's pathways. The residence's private entrance is marked by a recessed alcove and a detailed carved entry door.
Interior and Comforts
Upon entering the property, an inviting living room opens up with a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace. Exposed wooden beams on the ceiling contrast with the light walls and wide plank floors. A white sofa and a round stone coffee table lend the room a clean, contemporary appearance. A breakfast bar connects the living room to the kitchen, creating an open layout that makes the space feel larger.
The gourmet kitchen is fitted with bright white cabinets and marble countertops that extend to the splashback. High-end Viking stainless steel appliances, including a professional gas range, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, are complemented by a floor-to-ceiling pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room offers a more formal setting for meals beneath a wrought-iron chandelier.
The spacious multi-purpose room can be flexibly used as a home office, media lounge, study, or even a third bedroom. It features a modern fireplace, built-in cabinetry, a mounted television, and French doors that let in natural light and provide direct outdoor access.
The primary suite, one of the two bedrooms, consists of a sleeping area, a lounge area, and an en-suite bathroom. The suite's bedroom features a corner stone fireplace. A few steps down, the suite opens to a private seating area with French doors leading to a secluded patio. The spacious bathroom is equipped with marble countertops, a double vanity, and textured stone tile walls. Alongside a deep soaking tub, the oversized, glass-enclosed shower stall ensures comfort. Two separate built-in wardrobes provide ample storage. The second bedroom also features wooden plank floors and plantation shutters.
