Cantina
The three bedrooms upstairs are all en-suite and are connected on the second floor by a spacious balcony. The multilevel master has original his-and-her showers encased by Art Deco glass cubes, a marble fireplace, a retro spherical marble table, and shag pillows adding an infusion of the 1960s.
Lounge
A room off the western wing has an office space soaked in sunlight with wraparound windows overlooking a courtyard.
Master bedroom
No mansion in the 1930s would be complete without its own cantina; Griffith has integrated stainless-steel sculptures and a neon bar sign next to the peeling vintage bull-fighting posters on the wall by the bar. The smell of worn books drowns out any scent of liquor, and the low ceilings accompanied by the plush, shallow furniture create a forced perspective that makes one feel eternally cozy.
Extended room off of the master bedroom
A well-sized dining room is dominated by golden rams head holding up an enormous slab of polished wood (a gift from Brad Pitt), a glamorous silver tea set (a Griffith family heirloom), and a rusted Coke-machine-turned-bar.
His-and-her showers in master bathroom
The home has become a resting place for Hollywood relics: The large-scale teal urn in the entryway was from the set of Casablanca, and an outdoor glass table from Frank Sinatra’s home adorns the gravel-laid front courtyard. Lauren Bacall’s face is printed on a ceiling-high partition, and a replica of Jackie Onassis’s pearl necklace can be found in a drawer upstairs. Griffith has also lined the home with Old World literature, an oversized chess set, stacks of vintage cigarette cases, and pearl-inlaid Moroccan furniture from Paris.
View of yard and home layout
Beyond the living room framed by sliding glass doors is the manicured lawn surrounded by what at first appears to be overgrown foliage. In reality, it’s very thoughtfully placed greenery set against a massive concrete heated pool with a naturally flowing integrated water feature.
View from second-floor patio
Fig and clementine trees make up a small orchard near the three-car garage and small barn, where a goat and a miniature horse currently reside.
View from private patio
Past the pool and lawn is a 200-foot lookout revealing an expanse of land beyond the swaying eucalyptus trees, curvy canyon, and mountains doused in California’s golden light, with absolutely no obstruction from surrounding homes. Expansive pool view
An outdoor barbecue and kitchen adorn a hidden patio, and original bricks line the alfresco lounging areas.
