Pleasant and well executed and livable, but it does nothing for me. It falls short in the architecture department.
Somehow Cape Cods don't translate well to Southern California. The low ceilings are oppressive. Half of the house is walk-in closets and bathrooms with no character at all; the kitchen expensive and huge but likewise charmless and made more for show than for use.
You could spend a weekend in the house and a week later have only the vaguest memory of the place. It's subtlety is forgettable, generic. The huge bay windows at the tear elevation and that green valley of a rear garden are the most impressive aspects of the place. And the pool house/guesthouse wins a few points because of its different style and for not being so studied and white on white on white.
Had the house a bolder sense of style in its decoration, it could be.more agreeable, but the architecture isn't there for me.
I appreciate the comments of those who.like it, it's just not a house for which I have much enthusiasm.

Beautiful house, but underwhelming interior decor - as R16 says, so much white! But it has masses of potential, would be interesting to see colour pics of what it looked like prior to someone going mad with a spray gun and a bulk lot of developer's cream paint. I wouldnt do a thing to the exterior, its damn near perfect, but the interior needs more colour and more patterns throughout. Also I'd remove most of the can lights except in the kitchen and bathrooms
I get why R23 cant muster much enthusiasm for it. The architecture needs a bold style of decor, how it is now just conceals its good points rather than brings them out

To all the architectural snobs weighing in the house was designed by Wallace Neff...
"Today, Wallace Neff homes are highly desired by the Southern California Elite. Wallace Neff is known for developing the area’s distinctive architectural design described as “California Style.” His influential clientele once included Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. His work for them considered to be the true essence of Southern California architecture."

R23, the low ceilings also struck me the wrong way. Not a total deal breaker but a material flaw.
And many GenXers grew up watching the Wizard of Oz every spring on network TV, as well as all the old Garland flicks on cable, so I'm stunned by anyone in my peer group who couldn't name at least a handful of her most popular songs and movies.

I like Wallace Neff, sometimes, though not his super-pared back houses. I prefer the earlier historicist houses richer in detail or his more modern work. I know his name must be uttered in a reverent whisper in Southern California, but a fair amount of his residential work is middling-luxe, like the Garland house.
Here's a Neff house I like better, half the price (last year) but in Altadena. It's a somewhat pared back Spanish Colonial Revival, but more interesting architecturally and more appealing. For me.

R45, we have a difference of opinion then. I don't care for super spare and streamlined detailing. Although I know it's an important aspect of Southern California architecture, magnifying the scale of a Cape Cod then distilling and stripping away the characteristics of the style to a sort doll's house synthesis: a tin box punctuated by gabled dormers and oversized picture windows. That aspect of California design that takes everything away until there's so little left but the huge price tag doesn't work for me. I understand the aesthetic, I just don't like it.
For me, the Cape Cod model is so modest and spare in it's defining characteristics that to strip it all away leaves a big nothing. I don't see sophistication so much as dowdy and boring, if very well built.

The lot value is not worth $11.5 million for that property, especially with no view. Because of the slope, most of the lot is unusable,, and a house has to be built right on the street. Also, it's not in the best part of Bel Air.
For an older home like this, you wouldn't want to buy it for much more than lot value, because the next buyer will probably view it as a teardown and won't care who used to live there, or how much the renovations cost.

I think we have to remember that this is not merely an ample home in a pleasant neighborhood.
It is the home commissioned by a film star.
It is a set for her as much as any film set was.
And in 1938, that meant pared-back old-fashioned nostalgia, or simple modern lines and no excess. Neff took the former route here.
That stripped-back style referenced a foursquare American aesthetic that was comforting, but not opulent, aristocratic or decadent (think Norma Desmond's bizarre, lavish and snobbish palace in "Sunset Boulevard").
The Garland House is about as good as this line of thought could deliver.
When the postwar era rolled around, ostentation and artistry were back in and Palm Springs Modernism became the West Coast gold standard.

I wonder what the kitchen of the house was like originally. Electric ranges and dishwashers were available for who could afford them. The first automatic washers went on sale in 1937.

Judy was very hands on during the design and building of the house...
"It was thus not just a house but a romantic vision of what home was meant to be. And like the studio art directors of the thirties and forties, Garland identified that platonic ideal not with the sun-drenched houses she saw around her in California but rather with the Christmas-card images of New England, where, as everyone who had ever been to the movies knew, there was always snow on the ground for the holidays and, inside, happy families drank hot chocolate around a fire. The Bel Air house, with its warm brick exterior, its covered front porch, its rustic shingles and its understated dormers, almost looked as if it had been transported from Connecticut."

[quote]Why is Judy Garland always "The star who did drugs"? It wasn't even her choice, the habit was forced on her. Marilyn Monroe did drugs. Montgomery Clift. Elizabeth Taylor. David O. Selznick. But it's always "Judy was a drug addict."
None of those people spiraled completely out of control and lost everything the way Judy did.

R115 I would say Monroe was worse than Judy - Judy could remember her songs, Marilyn couldn't remember 3 lines. She was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Clift was pretty far gone, too. That's why he died.

Also I wouldn't say losing money or possessions is the main sign you were the flagship drug addict.

Besides, people stole a lot of Judy's money and property. Especially her agents.

Because she was stoned 24/7 and unable to manage anything herself.

R123 Nope, not at the time of her death. Definitely Brentwood. Her prior condo on Gretna Green was also in Brentwood.
