This exceptional home sits in the Hollywood Hills, directly at the base of the iconic Hollywood Sign (it's just a twenty-minute hike to reach this, or forty-five minutes to the Observatory). The spectacular villa is spread over four floors and offers sweeping views of Los Angeles, the sign, and the ocean – floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors bring the outside in here. You'll have your pick of terraces for sunbathing or zen relaxation. And then there's the rooftop – with its magnificent views and yacht-like lounge area, it's certainly one of this home’s highlights, and the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail or two. Inside, you’ll find luxurious and sophisticated decor, and a warmth rarely found in modern architecture.

About Franklin Village
In the 80s and 90s there was something of a trend to affix the word “village” to many neighbourhoods and streets of Los Angeles (Fairfax Village, Larchmont Village, Los Feliz Village, and Virgil Village among them). A stretch of Franklin Avenue also received this treatment and Franklin Village was born. However, unlike some of those neighbourhoods, Franklin Village actually feels somewhat cohesive, compact, walkable and thus vaguely village-like. Its attractions...
