1364 Braeridge Drive

Description

Tucked away in the quiet serenity of Beverly Hills and surrounded by multi-million dollar homes, the story of 1364 Braeridge Drive began when America was falling in love with tailfins, martinis, and Mid-Century Modern architecture. First time on the market in over 50 years, this special property has remained in the same family since 1973 — a rare opportunity in one of Beverly Hills’ most iconic canyon neighborhoods. Back then, the neighborhood was still home to old Hollywood royalty. Sammy Davis Jr. lived around the block. Mary Pickford was still residing nearby at the legendary Pickfair estate. And yes... according to a family member, Harrison Ford practiced cracking his whip in front of this very home while preparing for his role as Indiana Jones. Welcome to a true piece of Hollywood history. Built in 1958, this Mid-Century Modern fixer offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1,628 square feet. Most of the living space is situated on a single level, with the exception of a separate downstairs bonus room and half bathroom that would make an ideal office, creative studio, media room, guest space, or private retreat. Set on an approximately 8,532 square foot lot, this property captures everything buyers love about canyon living: privacy, tranquility, character, and proximity to the heart of Los Angeles. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and dining/family room invite natural light inside while framing the peaceful canyon surroundings. There are gorgeous views throughout the home! A spacious side deck provides the perfect setting to enjoy lunch, morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine while taking in the breathtaking scenery around you (you won’t believe how quiet it is – serenity like this needs to be experienced). Step into the backyard and you are greeted by the scent of jasmine floating through the air. The setting is incredibly private — the kind of environment that feels miles away from the city, while still offering excellent proximity to the restaurants, nightlife, and energy of Sunset Boulevard. Bring your contractor. Bring your architect. Bring your vision. Whether you restore the home’s original Mid-Century soul or create your own canyon masterpiece, opportunities like this rarely come available in one of Beverly Hills’ most desirable neighborhoods. This is more than a just fixer — it is a chance to own a small piece of old Hollywood and create something truly special.
