A Los Angeles property once owned by legendary director Francis Ford Coppola—and the childhood home of his granddaughter, filmmaker Gia Coppola—is now on the market for $2.25 million. Best known for his work on The Godfather films, Coppola bought the Spanish Revival-style home in 1922 and kept it in the family for many years, eventually transferring it to his granddaughter Gia Coppola and his daughter-in-law, costume designer Jacqui Getty.
A Piece of Hollywood History in Whitley Heights
Situated in the historic Whitley Heights neighborhood, this 1,931-square-foot residence at 2034 Grace Avenue perfectly captures the essence of old Hollywood charm. With three bedrooms and four bathrooms, it offers a delightful mix of comfort and stunning city views. The multilevel gardens, private dipping pool, and various outdoor living spaces create an inviting atmosphere for entertaining. The expansive primary suite above everything else serves as a tranquil retreat from the lively city below.
A Storied Past of A-List Parties
While residing in the house, Jacqui Getty and Gia Coppola threw extravagant parties that attracted celebrities from Hollywood, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore, and other well-known figures.
“Rather than going out, we hosted parties here,” Getty told Mansion Global of her early days in the home as a young mom. “Even the Smashing Pumpkins—who were playing at the Hollywood Bowl—skipped their afterparty to come here instead because I was hosting one for Wolfgang Tillman. There was always something happening at our house.”
With classic features like wrought-iron balconettes, period wood trim, arched French doors, and red roof tiles that evoke the house’s illustrious past, this 1922-built home is a living example of Old Hollywood.According to Jacqui Getty, the kitchen is the centre of the house, with a rustic breakfast nook looking out over a lush garden oasis created by Studio Art Luna. Each guest room has an en suite bathroom, and the main suite opens onto a private balcony.
Inside the Spanish Revival-Style Sanctuary
Getty describes the kitchen as her favorite area of the home, where “there’s always food being cooked” and it serves as a central gathering spot. Photos from the listing highlight its rustic charm, with wood countertops, exposed beam ceilings, and textured cream walls.
“This is not just a home, but a sanctuary imbued with the soul of Los Angeles past and present,” the listing says.
Originally from New York, Getty is selling the property as she prepares to return to the East Coast. The home is listed with Kristal Moffett of Compass. So, any takers? The keys to this creative sanctuary could be yours. Dive into the complete photo gallery at the official listing.
