High in the Hollywood Hills, perched on a 3.4-acre ridgeline property above Lake Hollywood and below the Hollywood Sign, a fabled, castle-like compound long known as Wolf’s Lair has flown onto the market at $15 million. Originally built in the 1920s for real estate developer L. Milton Wolf (it included a hidden speakeasy and a room for his pet gibbon!), the updated original home is complemented by a guest house added in 1960 and designed by architect John Lautner. Other highlights include a bird's-eye view of the Griffith Park Observatory from the living room and a kidney-shaped pool beside a sun-filled pool house. And in the Seattle suburb of Medina, home to Bill Gates and other tech billionaires, one of the area’s oldest homes has come up for sale for $14.1 million. Built in 1908 and dubbed The Gables, the elegantly appointed six-bedroom residence sits amid towering trees with a heated pool and views over Lake Washington. |
