Some of Hollywood’s biggest names may have one time called Patio del Moro home—but now it’s looking for a new homeowner. The West Hollywood landmark, on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986, has been listed for $7.2 million.
This Spanish-revival style courtyard complex features seven maisonette apartments formerly home to Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Joyce Van Patten, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine and Suzanne Pleshette. Built in 1925, the building’s distinctive Andalusian and Moorish-inspired architecture boasts a copper-domed Tunisian tower, horseshoe-arched entrance tunnel, and tiled fountains in the private and public patios and fireplaces.
Intertwined private terraces and patios, Juliet balconies, and private outdoor spaces distinguish Patio del Moro. Most units feature handcrafted beam work, lofty spaces with high ceilings, original fireplaces, oversized arched windows, french doors, private patios and unique tilework throughout.
As part of the historic Harper Avenue District, Patio del Moro is a Mills Act property with a financial incentive for historic preservation, offering owners who invest in rehabilitating historic buildings property tax savings. Patio del Moro is a part of the Golden Era Collection, four impeccably restored multifamily complexes in Los Angeles.
