The 8,100-square-foot residence sits on 1.5 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac on Maroney Lane in Pacific Palisades.
The property features white shingle exteriors accented with brick and shuttered windows, creating a distinctive architectural presence in an area dominated by Spanish Colonials and bungalows.
The home last sold in 2022 for US$17.5 million, according to Mansion Global.
Bennett Hirsch of the Agency, shares the listing with colleague Nick Sandler.
The home’s original floor plan remains intact despite cosmetic updates over the years.
Notable original features include steel casement windows, a pub-like bar with a hidden staircase, and six fireplaces throughout the property.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is its elegant entrance, with a driveway that leads through a porte-cochere to a rotary, creating a picturesque arrival experience that enhances its Old Hollywood charm.
The residence contains seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms.
The primary suite offers two bathrooms, custom dressing rooms, and a private balcony. One unusual luxury feature noted by Hirsch is “a fireplace by the primary bathtub.”
Virginia Bruce, who commissioned the home, was a prominent actress and singer whose career spanned decades, with her most active period from the 1930s to the mid-1950s.
She starred in films including “The Great Ziegfeld,” “The Invisible Woman,” and the Cole Porter musical “Born to Dance.”
The property’s grounds are equally impressive, featuring a raised brick patio, swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit, meandering paths, and koi ponds.
The spacious lot provides privacy and tranquillity rarely found in urban Los Angeles.
