Located in the Hollywood Hills on Woodrow Wilson Drive, an area nicknamed “Celebrity Row” for its famous residents, the two-story traditional home sits on an elevated 0.8-acre lot completely obscured from street view by mature trees and landscaping.
According to Mansion Global, the iconic couple purchased the property in 1963, with Rowlands continuing to live there until her death last year at age 94.
Cassavetes, who passed away in 1989 at 59, was a pioneering independent filmmaker known for directing and writing films including “Faces,” “Opening Night,” and “A Woman Under the Influence.”
The 4,300-square-foot home, built in 1940, features five bedrooms and backs up to protected parkland with access to walking trails.
The couple made several modifications to the property during their ownership, including converting the garage into an editing space where Cassavetes worked on his films.
One of the most distinctive features is a barroom with rust-red walls covered in framed photos and memorabilia.
This room was even featured in Cassavetes’s film “Love Streams,” which was primarily shot inside their home.
The property also includes a basketball court off the back patio where Cassavetes would take breaks from his editing work.
Other unique elements include a bathroom adorned with paintings by Rowlands’s mother and a bonus room created from an enclosed second-floor porch.
Rowlands, who starred in many of her husband’s films, earned a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for her role in “A Woman Under the Influence.”
