Our Top Favorite Spots
We truly love every corner of Helen Hunt’s Los Angeles home, but certain spaces stand out, offering the clearest glimpse into both her personal style and the historic charm woven into the property’s original architecture.
Living Room
The first room you’ll meet in the main house is the living room. The space is centered around a sculptural plaster fireplace and framed by built-in bookcases and painted ceiling beams in a muted sage green that showcases the home’s 1930s Spanish origins.
Kitchen
An Instagram post from Hunt offers a look at her kitchen during a Dodger game where twin islands, clad in stone and pale wood cabinetry, ground the open-concept layout beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling with an oversized skylight that floods the space with natural light.
Secluded Pool
The most expansive outdoor area includes a rectangular pool framed by swaying palms and spanning across the entire courtyard.
Balconies from the second-floor bedrooms overlook the water and sit parallel to a set of loungers shaded by wide umbrellas.

Final Thoughts
Helen Hunt’s decision to list her Spanish-style Los Angeles home for $12.7 million marks the end of her two-decade time living in an Old Hollywood gem.
With a storied past that includes former resident Greta Garbo and original 1930s architectural details, the property is as much a piece of cinematic history as it is a luxurious residence.
As only the third owner since it was built, Hunt’s time in the home adds to its rich legacy, now ready for a new chapter in the hands of its next caretaker.
