Gene Bush, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Beverly Hills North office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, has listed the former Hollywood Hills home of British actor David Niven for $2,395,000. Located at 8420 Lookout Mountain Ave in Hollywood Hills, Calif., the six-bedroom, five-bathroom and approximately 3,527-square-foot home is on an approximately 9,871-square-foot lot.
“In the 1960s, British actor David Niven made Laurel Canyon his home and playfully dubbed this place the Rogue’s Retreat after his short-lived TV show, The Rogues. You may remember Niven as the jewel thief in the original Pink Panther movies or for any of his other roles,” said Bush. “One of the original homes in Laurel Canyon and part of the legendary rogue’s retreat during Hollywood's golden age, come see everything this large, light-filled historic Hollywood Hills home has to offer.”
Nestled in the Hollywood Hills near award-winning Wonderland School, this home encompasses a living room with a brick fireplace, dining room, sunroom and a private studio on its own level with a full bathroom and separate entrance. Open to the dining room, the recently remodeled kitchen features a new Thermador six-burner oven and tile-countertops. Illuminated with skylights and large windows, the master bedroom offers a vintage fireplace, open-beam ceiling, built-in cabinets, copper bar top and walk-in closet. Private, the grounds include a PebbleTec-lined pool, hot tub, private brick patio and hillside deck with canyon views.
In 1995, Counting Crows hosted a crawfish boil and BBQ at the Rogue's Retreat in Laurel Canyon. To view a photo from the event, click here.
