Frank Lloyd’s former home in Topanga is listed
A compound built in the early 1930s by film director Frank Lloyd is on the market in Topanga at $4.3 million.
The 9-acre property, which has 360-degree views of the mountains, ocean and Santa Catalina Island, contains the original main house, carriage house and guesthouse. The main house features seven wood-burning fireplaces, a billiards room, a library and a walk-in refrigerator. Four bedrooms and five bathrooms lie in nearly 5,000 square feet of living space.
Lloyd, who died at 74 in 1960, was a founder and president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. In 1929, he was nominated for Oscars for three films — a silent movie, a part-talkie and a talking film. The silent, “The Divine Lady,” won. He later won again for “Mutiny on the Bounty” (1935).
The property was last on the market in 1955.
Peter York of White House Properties has the listing.
