A Horror Filmmaker’s Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.2 Million
If the walls of this historic Los Angeles house could talk, they’d probably begin with relating stories of what it was like to serve as a onetime gathering spot for German and Austrian intellectuals at the invitation of writer Franz Werfel and his socialite wife Alma, the widow of composer Gustav Mahler. They also might chatter a bit about the duo of Hollywood scions who once resided here—Dennis Hopper’s designer daughter Marin, who shared the place with her entrepreneurial husband John Goldstone, as well as Michael Landon’s youngest son Christopher, a horror filmmaker known for flicks like Disturbia and Happy Death Day.
But wait, that’s not all! These walls also might have some insight into the life and work of Maybeck Award-winning architect Barton Myers, who presided here with his wife Victoria. More recently, though, they probably would speak of current caretaker Travis Nash, who is known for co-founding the luxury cannabis and apparel brand Potent Goods with his Juicy Couture-designer mother Gela Nash-Taylor.
Whatever the case may be, this edifice is no doubt filled with plenty of tasty tales, and honestly, we can’t wait to see who the property’s next interesting steward will be!

Records show Nash and his wife Veronica acquired the saga-filled structure from Christopher Landon in summer 2018 for $3.1 million. Now, six years later, the couple has decided to flip the two-story Spanish-style dwelling in the Outpost Estates neighborhood of Hollywood Hills back on the market for a smidge under $4.2 million. The listing is held by Jade Mills and Alexis LaMontagna of Coldwell Banker.
Nestled securely behind high walls and bougainvillea-topped gates, amid a third-acre parcel resting at the end of a cul-de-sac and high above the Hollywood Bowl, the creamy stucco and red terracotta-roof dwelling was completed way back in the late 1920s, per online reports, and today features four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in a little more than 3,200 square feet of “meticulously renovated” living space boasting a mix of dark hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, pitched wood ceilings, fancifully wallpapered walls, and arched doorways throughout.
The bi-level primary bedroom suite has a screening/sitting room up top.

Among the main-level highlights is a step-down living room sporting a stonework fireplace, plus an adjacent family room with a wet bar and a modernized kitchen that has an eat-in island embedded with a farmhouse sink and a wine cooler, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying dining area offering up views of Griffith Observatory. Standing out on the lower floor is the primary suite, which comes complete with a lofted screening/sitting room and a luxe marble bath equipped with dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and two walk-in closets.
The amenities continue outdoors, where an inviting brick-clad courtyard out front is enhanced with a tree-shaded entertaining space and a wood-burning fireplace, while the garden-laced backyard is spotlighted by a tiled spa and numerous terraces offering picturesque views across L.A.
