When you think of a “storybook home,” you may conjure up an image of a quaint little cottage with a pointed slate roof, perhaps a charming turret, and maybe a Juliet balcony.

What doesn’t immediately come to mind is a regal compound like this one in the Hollywood Hills—mostly hidden from street view—which is now on the market for $5,785,000.

According to the listing agent, it’s an enchanting opportunity for a buyer with a penchant for historic homes.

“From the moment you arrive, you will become enamored by it all—from the stunning architecture and character to the jetliner views,” says Dennis Chernov of The Agency, who has listed the house along with Greg Shenon.

Chernov also notes that the home’s privacy is a huge plus.

“The two-home property is tucked behind private gates with tall hedges and mature trees,” he says.

However, you can see the home’s distinctive slate roof and turret from the street. Both are original, dating to when the house was built, in 1937, and remain in remarkable shape. Nearly a century ago, Tudor style was king, and homes were built to last.

Once you pass through the attractive, fortresslike stone walls (also original) that surround the property, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.

You wind up in a tranquil courtyard that features “charming brick, meticulous landscaping, and a water fountain—all reminiscent of the English countryside,” says Chernov.

There’s also shade provided by mature trees, and lovely landscaping that’s impossible to duplicate.

Chernov notes that the walls, the roof, and the landscaping are not the only details that have lasted over the decades.

“This estate still holds a ton of original, well-preserved features and beautiful details, including stained-glass windows, textured plaster walls, original fireplaces, and vaulted beamed ceilings,” he says.

The main house features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and four fireplaces, for a truly cozy feel.

A cheery kitchen has colorful tiles, a large center island, and dining bar. It opens to a dining area and family room with a fireplace.

Spanning two-thirds of an acre, the property also includes an infinity pool and spa with remarkable views, a sports court, and fruit-bearing trees.

There’s also a detached, 1,500-square-foot, two-story guesthouse with a kitchen, bedroom, and living room. This could easily serve as a creative live/workspace, a studio, or a media room.

To add to the vivid story of this unique Tudor property, the actress Katey Sagal, of “Married … with Children” and “Sons of Anarchy,” and her husband, Kurt Sutter, creator of “Sons of Anarchy,” wrote some chapters of their own while living here over a decade ago.
