Home of the Week: A modern castle in Hollywoodland

Thick granite walls are all that remain of a 1920s Norman-style stone mansion destroyed by wildfire in the early 1960s. Now in its place stands a reimagined showplace that pays homage to the lost Beachwood Canyon castle.

Beyond the turret-style entry are spaces tailored for modern living: a polished chef’s kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a movie theater with a bar. Across the grounds, an infinity-edge swimming pool and pool house overlook the canyon and the bright lights of Hollywood below.
