1563 Sunset Plaza Dr

Exceptional 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival on lower Sunset Plaza Drive, completely renovated by AD100 designer Ross Cassidy and featured in the April 2025 issue of Architectural Digest. Meticulously restored and reimagined, the residence preserves the romance and craftsmanship of its original architecture while offering fully upgraded systems. Details include leaded windows, wrought-iron railings, marble-cased openings, custom-paneled rooms, carved ceilings, hand-painted beams, hand-poured terrazzo floors, and bathrooms clad in slabs of marble. Three wood-burning fireplaces are found in the living room, family room, and outdoor entertaining area. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, family room, kitchen, breakfast room, en-suite bedroom, and two powder rooms. Upstairs are three en-suite bedrooms, including the primary suite. A separate bungalow above the garage offers an additional bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or a wellness space. A lower level provides a double-stack washer/dryer and ample storage. Cabinets are custom-made from Sapele wood with a Marine varnish. The interior walls are a mixture of plaster, lime wash, wallpaper, handmade Japanese paper in the TV room, and linen in the primary bedroom. Almost all the lighting is imported vintage Italian or French. The faucets throughout are Waterworks, and appliances are by Subzero, Wolf, and Miele. Surrounded by mature pine trees, the private backyard features a pool framed by custom stonework, an outdoor bar and planters, and a lighted pergola sheltering a seating area with wood-burning fireplace. A two-car garage plus driveway parking for up to four additional cars is a true Hollywood Hills rarity. A singular residence that captures the character and glamour of 1920s Spanish, Hollywood Hills architecture with the craftsmanship, comfort, and infrastructure of a thoroughly modern home.
