Amid the bird streets, a tony nest
First there were the bird streets: Nightingale, Swallow and Kinglet drives, Tanager and Thrush ways and Bluebird Avenue. This home was one of the first built in the bird streets of the Sunset Strip area. The year: 1929.
It would be another 38 years before the Beatles’ George Harrison would make Blue Jay Way famous in song. Now, almost four decades later, young stars have started living in the area.
On one bird street, the homeowners include Keanu Reeves, Tobey Maguire, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, Leonardo DiCaprio and Megan Mullally. On another lives Mariska Hargitay, costar of “Law & Order: SVU” and daughter of the late Jayne Mansfield.
About this house: This walled and gated Spanish-style home has also had an owner in the entertainment industry: Suzanne Todd, co-producer of “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997). The current owners are a doctor and his wife.
