The Thorgusen Compound, 1953 – 1957

Tucked into the verdant contours of the Hollywood Hills, this exceptional dual-residence estate—comprising 9029 and 9031 Hollywood Hills Road—presents a rare chance to own an architecturally significant compound infused with midcentury spirit and enduring design integrity. Originally conceived in 1953 by architect Robert "Boulder" Thorgusen, and set within a lush garden landscape envisioned by modernist master Garrett Eckbo, the Thorgusen Compound is more than a home—it’s a thoughtful expression of form, light, and landscape.

9029 Hollywood Hills Road: "The Forest"
2 Bed | 2 Bath | 2,326 SF
Discreetly nestled beyond view, "The Forest" is discovered gradually, its entrance marked by a sculptural carport and iconic folded-plate rooflines. Inside, Thorgusen’s architectural language speaks through expansive glazing, rhythmic ceiling transitions, and curated lighting that enhances the interplay of shadow and reflection. The main living area opens wide to nature, with a midcentury hearth anchoring a space defined by calm and clarity. A serene dining room overlooks a private pool, while the primary suite—complete with its own fireplace—opens to a meditative garden sanctuary.

9031 Hollywood Hills Road: "The Jewel Box"
3 Bed | 3 Bath | 4,100 SF
A short drive up the shared gated approach reveals "The Jewel Box," a luminous study in post-and-beam architecture. Here, light and geometry converge in a central pool that flows beneath one wing of the home—a rare residential gesture that turns everyday living into an immersive architectural experience. The open floor plan is framed by walls of glass and grounded by custom lighting and natural textures. The primary suite boasts a private terrace and is accompanied by a dramatic flex space—perfect for a creative studio or modern workspace. Outdoor terraces, a cascading water feature, and intimate garden moments dissolve the line between indoors and out.

The Compound
5 Bed | 5 Bath | 6,426 SF
Together, these two residences form a private compound that celebrates California modernism in its most refined form. Ideal for multigenerational living, creative retreats, or guest accommodations, the estate is unified by a commitment to craft, spatial clarity, and a seamless relationship with the natural world. This is a rare opportunity to inhabit a living piece of architectural history—thoughtfully restored, meticulously maintained, and undeniably timeless.
