A Hilltop Pedigree
Few addresses in the Hollywood Hills carry the weight of history quite like 1895 Rising Glen Road. Perched high within the exclusive Bird Streets, this property has served as a sanctuary for some of the most recognizable names in entertainment. Over the years, the estate has been linked to pop icons Madonna and Britney Spears, as well as the late, beloved actress Brittany Murphy. Following Murphy’s passing in 2009, the property changed hands, marking the end of an era for the original structure.
From Classic to Contemporary
In a bold move that redefined the one-acre lot, subsequent owners opted for a complete transformation. The original residence was demolished to make way for a sprawling, 9,400-square-foot modern masterpiece, completed in 2016. This new iteration of the estate embraces the architectural language of the modern Bird Streets—clean lines, expansive glass, and an uncompromising focus on the jetliner views that define this coveted 90069 enclave.
A Market Moment
As the luxury market continues to recalibrate, the current owners have signaled their intent to move the property by implementing a $1 million price reduction. The estate is now listed at $12.895 million. For the discerning buyer, this represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood lore, reimagined for the demands of contemporary luxury living. Whether viewed through the lens of its star-studded past or its current architectural grandeur, 1895 Rising Glen remains a cornerstone of the Bird Streets landscape. We look forward to seeing which visionary will be the next to call this legendary hilltop retreat home.
