A Storied Past
Few addresses in the Bird Streets carry the weight of cultural history quite like 1895 Rising Glen Road. Over the decades, this hilltop sanctuary has served as a private retreat for some of the entertainment industry’s most luminous figures, including Madonna, Britney Spears, and the late, beloved actress Brittany Murphy. Following Murphy’s passing in 2009, the property transitioned through several hands, eventually setting the stage for a complete architectural transformation.
From Classic to Contemporary
In 2016, the original structure was entirely demolished to make way for a bold, modern vision. The result is a sprawling 9,400-square-foot mansion that commands its one-acre lot with authority. Designed to maximize the unparalleled vistas of the Los Angeles basin, the residence represents the pinnacle of contemporary hillside living, blending expansive glass walls with the privacy required by its high-profile residents.
A New Market Moment
Property records indicate that a trust acquired the gated compound for $12.2 million in 2020. Now, as the market shifts, the sellers have opted for a strategic adjustment, slashing $1 million from the previous asking price. The estate is currently listed at $12.895 million, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood lore reimagined for the modern era. As the Bird Streets continue to evolve, 1895 Rising Glen remains a testament to the neighborhood's enduring allure for those who demand both history and high-design.
