The Spanish-style compound, built by Toluca Lake pioneer and designer William Klump in 1927, has a Hollywood pedigree that spans several generations. Among those to have called the estate home was silent-film star Billie Dove as well as Oscar-winning actress Janet Gaynor and her husband, celebrated Hollywood costume designer Adrian.
More recently, TV producer Mark Brazill owned the walled and gated house a decade before Stewart bought it in 2015.

Afamily room, a dining room and updated kitchen with a broad island/breakfast bar and Viking appliances are also within roughly 4,800 square feet of living space. A pantry in the kitchen sits behind Gothic arched doors.
Outdoors, grounds of more than half an acre include a swimming pool and a koi pond with a waterfall feature, a detached studio/gym and a 700-square-foot guesthouse. Views take in fairways and greens at the Lakeside Golf Club.
