Los Angeles’s Legendary "Castle" Hits the Market at $9.9M

Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, and the Velvet Underground once called the lavish art nouveau mansion home.


The main residence offers a mix of Spanish, Art Deco, and Assyrian styles. Egyptian-themed geometric pillars, gilded ceilings, and arched passageways are just a few of its many notable features.

Location: 2630 Glendower Avenue, Los Angeles, California

Price: $9,885,000

Architect: A.F. Leicht

Year Built: 1924

Footprint: 5,582 square feet (five bedrooms, seven baths)

From the Agent: "Almost two acres of gardens and landscape surround celebrated architect A.F. Leicht’s grand art nouveau mansion overlooking panoramic city views from downtown to the ocean. Indescribable interior details emanate from Egyptian-inspired geometric pillars and repeating arched passageways overlooked by curving gilded ceilings. Public rooms inspire awe—from the majestic two-story living room to the octagonal lounge/study rooms with endless windows surveying the private acreage. Private bedroom suites are perfectly arranged for guests or family. Historic pedigree of ownership and residents include legendary performers of the ’60s music revolution, recent headline musicians, oil industry heirs, and recognized artists."


Set behind a gated entrance, the paved, winding driveway leads to the main residence, separate garage, studio, and guest house. Tall trees enhance the compound's privacy.
