A Hilltop History
Few addresses in the Bird Streets carry the weight of history quite like 1895 Rising Glen Road. Perched atop a prime one-acre lot, this estate has served as a sanctuary for some of the most recognizable names in entertainment, including Madonna, Britney Spears, and the late actress Brittany Murphy. Following the sale of the property in 2011, the original structure was completely demolished, making way for a modern, 9,400-square-foot mansion that redefined the potential of the site.
Modern Luxury Meets Provenance
Completed in 2016, the current residence is a sprawling testament to contemporary luxury. It features expansive, light-filled interiors and sweeping city-to-ocean views that have long made the Bird Streets the premier destination for the city's elite. The property’s design emphasizes scale and privacy, offering a hilltop garden and a level of seclusion that is increasingly rare in the heart of the Hollywood Hills. The estate is currently held by Ben Belack of Serhant California and the Ben Belack Group.
A Strategic Market Shift
In a move that signals the current pulse of the luxury market, the sellers have recently adjusted their expectations, slashing $1 million from the asking price. The estate is now listed at $12.895 million. This price correction offers a compelling entry point for a buyer looking to secure a property that balances a rich Hollywood pedigree with the amenities of a modern, custom-built home. As the market continues to navigate shifting demands, the return of 1895 Rising Glen Road to the spotlight serves as a reminder that in the Bird Streets, history and high-end real estate are inextricably linked.
