I'd like to live in Nichols Canyon

That's what I'd describe as a very pleasant house. Nice center hall, everything is a bit on the beige side but it got better as it went along. Shower room is a plus. Attractive landscaping.

The Charles Toberman estate is a few doors up at the end of the street.

[quote] Charles Edward Toberman (February 23, 1880 – November 10, 1981) was a real estate developer and stenographer who was known as "Mr. Hollywood" and the "Father of Hollywood" for his role in developing Hollywood and many of its landmarks, including the Hollywood Bowl, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel, the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre and the Hollywood Masonic Temple.

Who’s Nichol and does he wash his canyon regularly?

Hope you have money OP.

Lots of it.

I don't, r4. Just a little fantasy of mine.

That's the street that Ozzie and Harriet lived on... for real. The home is still there. I went into the Toberman Estate close to 40 years ago and back then it was in relatively sad condition. It would be interesting to see it again. The thing that stood out for me was the indoor pool. It was so oddly 1920's with little old dressing rooms and very little to be impressed over. I don't know if someone was living in the place at the time, but a RE agent snuck me inside late one evening. I think he was trying to impress me.. told me he was in escrow on the estate. As far as I know he never purchased the place.

Excuse me?!

OP, I believe that home that you posted was the Ozzie & Harriet property. I think if you look at the old TV show, they used it in the opening.

Any celebrities live there, OP??

The house you posted is DL fave Christopher Meloni’s!

And yes, R8 that is Ozzie & Harriet’s house. Melon bought it in 2014 and now is selling it.

*Meloni, of course, but he does have luscious melons.

Wait a minute, OP - are you Chris Meloni??

Did you post your own house for sale here, because you knew we’d go nuts over you?

Ha, the Ozzie and Harriet house. It was posted on here a while back, I'd forgotten. Still like it a lot.

Looks like the Toberman estate has been renovated. It's only sold twice in its almost 100 year history. Once in 1997 for $2.165 million, and then in 1999 for $2.750 million. Zillow now has its estimated value at $9.8 million. Unless it falls down on its own it'll be there for a long time as it's on the National Registry Of Historic Places and the list of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments.

Drew Barrymore had a house on Nichols, but I think she moved.

Now THAT’S a canyon I could live in!

Does the shower double as a panic room?

OP's house was also Jeremy Piven's house in Entourage. I actually watched the whole of Entourage at the beginning of the pandemic. Later when I read an article about the house I didn't even notice, although I did like it on the show.

NC is the "secret" short cut from the Valley to Hlwd.

Jeremy Piven the lech? That really spoils the house for me. Of course if he didn't actually live in it...

I like the frontage - very upper middle class 3 kids and a dog.

However, the interior looks like it was decorated by an insane Maoist.

In the early 1970’s, my family lived in a 1910’s craftsmen house in the Hollywood Hills and after a fire destroyed our house we almost moved into the Toberman estate’s guesthouse. The thing was that after the fire we needed to move into a place ASAP and my mother knew the two elderly Toberman daughters who still lived in that house and when they heard of our predicament they graciously offered the guest house to us. My parents did consider it, but in the end my dad thought it would be weird living on someone’s estate and politely turn them down.

Until I read this post I didn’t know that this was a famous house I just knew it as the home of two kind elderly women that were my mom’s acquaintances. However, I do remembered as a little kid that the indoor pool which was amazing and playing and running around the gorgeous gardens. Thanks DL for jogging this almost forgotten memory out of my head.

I googled it found more info on this home.
