About this home
On the market for the first time in over six decades, this soulful 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence was the longtime home of legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes and acclaimed actress Gena Rowlands. Set on nearly an acre in the Hollywood Hills, the property spans approximately 4,305 sq ft and sits across three contiguous parcels totaling 37,992 sq including one buildable lot, offering rare future potential in this coveted location. A long, tree-lined approach leads to a classic traditional home with elegant Hollywood Regency details, gracious scale, and abundant natural light. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a classic bar for entertaining, and a spacious bedroom suite offering flexibility for guests or creative use. Oversized windows frame views of treetops and natural greenery from every room, creating a serene and immersive connection to the landscape. Upstairs, the primary suite offers privacy and presence, while additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. Original architectural details remain intact, including a one-of-a-kind hand-painted bathroom artistic centerpiece created by a family member. The home is surrounded by nature and bordered by acres of protected county land, enhancing its sense of peace, privacy, and timeless retreat. This was not only a home, but a creative sanctuary where films such as Faces, A Woman Under the Influence, Minnie and Moskowitz, and Love Streams were conceived, edited, and in part filmed, contributing to the legacy of American independent cinema. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an authentic piece of Hollywood history.
