Lights, cameras, Coppola!
A stunning Spanish revival house in California, closely linked to Hollywood history, has hit the market priced at $2.25 million. It boasts impressive views of Los Angeles and carries the legacy of the Coppola family.
Located in Whitley Heights, a historic area once popular among silent film stars like Rudolf Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, the property has quite a story.
Coppola acquired the home in 1994.
For nearly two decades, the house was a creative haven for Jackie Getty, daughter-in-law of Coppola. It assisted in shaping the vibrant artistic environment when Gia Coppola, the director’s daughter, sold it in October 2013.
Now 38, Zia was just four when her family moved in. She has credits such as “The Last Showgirl,” which is set to release in 2024.
During their time there, Jackie and her daughter transformed the 1,931-square-foot home into a Bohemian Hollywood salon, where work and leisure blurred together. A variety of guests dropped by, including Demi Moore and Leonardo DiCaprio, while Jackie worked on styling projects that ranged from “Darjeeling Limited” to music videos for the likes of the Beastie Boys and The Strokes.
With three bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home keeps its 1920s charm intact. Features like smooth plaster walls, vintage tiles, arched French doors, and a distinctive red tile roof lend character.
The residence sits within lush, multi-tiered gardens designed by landscape architect Art Luna, surrounded by mature vegetation, private dip pools, and several outdoor entertainment spaces.
Inside, light-filled rooms flaunt antique hardware, and the primary suite offers views of the garden. The detached garage can serve as a guest suite or a studio.
Registered as a national historic site since 1982, Whitley Heights has long attracted artists, actors, and filmmakers seeking tranquility and scenic vistas.
The neighborhood was originally developed in the 1920s by Hobart J. Whitley, with many homes, including this one, constructed by designer Burns.
The property is listed by Compass agent Crystal Moffet.
