Actor Heather Graham Parts Ways With Her Longtime Hollywood Compound for $2.85M

The American actor, writer, and director lists her Spanish-style villa after owning it for over 20 years.

Tucked away below the iconic Hollywood sign, the Beachwood Canyon compound located at 2980 Belden Drive has had quite the list of notable names tied to it since 1927. 

Once home to late American novelist Zane Grey, the 2,150-square-foot property is today known for serving as the longtime residence of actress Heather Graham, who bought the compound in 1998 for $880,000.

Aside from the carriage-house-style two-car garage, much of the 2,150-square-foot home is hidden from street view, creating a private oasis within the coveted area of Beachwood Canyon.

Now, two decades later, the Boogie Nights star is officially parting ways with the three-level Spanish-style home, placing it back on the market for $2,850,000. Featuring three bedrooms, five bathrooms, an eat-in chef’s kitchen, as well as a striking wood-paneled library, the historic estate also comes with ample outdoor space, including tiers of gardens that lead to a grassy lawn, swimming pool, and built-in barbecue area. 

Upon arrival, a tall rotunda entry with unique gold stenciling leads to the home's living areas.

“It’s a very romantic and dreamy estate with magical views of the canyon,” says Elizabeth Halsted, the agent listing the property. “It feels like a mini-estate. It’s very private; it feels like it’s being taken care of by the canyon.” 

Bright, airy, and spacious, the two-story living room is steeped in historic charm, featuring the home's original wooden mantel, beamed ceilings, and open brick staircase.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
