Hollywood Heritage: Brad Bird’s 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival Home Hits the Market for $6 Million

If you’ve ever wanted to live in a home with cinematic roots and architectural soul, this is your moment. Acclaimed filmmaker Brad Bird—writer and director of animated hits like The Incredibles and Ratatouille—is listing his stunning 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival home in the historic hills of Los Feliz, Los Angeles, for just under $6 million.

Purchased by Bird and his wife, film editor Elizabeth Canney, in 2014 for just over $4 million, the home has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated. The listing is held by Jacqueline Tager and Carol Stewart of Sotheby’s International Realty. View the official listing here.

Step Into Storybook Style
Designed by architect John William Chard in the late 1920s, the 4,270-square-foot home sits on nearly one-third of an acre and exemplifies the timeless elegance of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. The façade features creamy stucco, terracotta roof tiles, and a gated entrance courtyard with arched columns, Moroccan lanterns, Saltillo tile, and a romantic Andalusian fountain.

Inside, you’re greeted by hand-carved wood doors and an elegant foyer that opens into a dramatic step-down living room. The 17-foot-high ceilings with exposed iron beams, antique casement windows with wavy glass, and a wood-burning stone fireplace evoke vintage Hollywood glamour. An adjacent fireside media room/library adds warmth and intimacy.

Chef’s Kitchen & Dining to Impress
Perfect for entertaining or everyday living, the window-lined dining room flows into a chef-worthy kitchen complete with soapstone countertops, subway tile backsplash, and high-end Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. A charming breakfast room and walk-in pantry add both function and flair.

A Home Made for Outdoor Living
French doors throughout open to lush grounds featuring flat lawns, a pool and spa, a citrus orchard, and a grapevine-covered pergola. It’s a personal oasis just minutes from Griffith Park, boutique shops, and some of L.A.’s best dining.
