1220 Benedict Canyon Dr

Secreted away down a private lane, and yet only moments from the Beverly Hills "village", this gated, four structure stone and redwood compound was built in 1928 as an escape and playground for those who lived in the spotlight. Home to Ingrid Bergman, Allan Carr, Kim Novak, and James Caan, the home, known as Hilhaven Lodge, has hosted a veritable parade of Hollywood's bold-faced names. Featuring a swimmer's pool, two guest houses, a professional projection theater, an extraordinary gymnasium, library, and a world-renowned discotheque, the home, designed by master architect Gordon B. Kaufmann (Los Angeles Times-Mirror Building; Greystone, the Doheny House; Santa Anita Racetrack grandstand and clubhouse; and Hoover Dam), is replete with numerous old world character features and has been designated a Beverly Hills Historic Landmark. This is a once-in-a-lifetime to live in true Hollywood style.
