Charming two-story quintessential Traditional located in Westwood Hills. Built in the late 1930s and home to silent movie director Rollin Sturgeon and his actress wife Edna Fisher Sturgeon, much of its original architectural characteristics remain intact including an outdoor incinerator that now is used as a fireplace where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Having been impeccably maintained over the decades, this home exudes an abundance of charm at every turn!
