A storied Hollywood home with a killer location, refined interiors, and major star power has recently landed on the market in Los Angeles.
Located at the base of Runyon Canyon, the 7,200-square-foot home is being brought to market by Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles power broker Tracy Tutor (with Compass), asking $8,800,000.
Included in the price: bragging rights to owning a piece of Old Hollywood history, as the house is rumored to be the place of Charlie Chaplin’s first wedding. Adding to its star-studded appeal, the property was once the residence of legendary filmmaker Preston Sturges, and said to have been later owned by actor Jeremy Renner.
What is it about the house that makes it attract so much star power? Well, a very quick virtual tour through the residence will quickly settle that curiosity.

Now on the market for $8.8 million
Featuring 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a generous 7,200 square feet of living space, the Franklin Avenue property is listed for $8,800,000 with Compass agent Tracy Tutor — best known as one of the cast members of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, the long-running BRAVO reality series.
There’s also a 1,200-square-foot detached guest house on the grounds and a 2-car garage.
A storied Los Angeles home
The 1926-built home has seen its fair share of famous people and star-studded events over the years.
It was once home to influential filmmaker and screenwriter Preston Sturges, considered to be the first screenwriter to successfully make the transition to directing. Some of his most famous motion pictures include The Great McGinty (1940), Sullivan’s Travels (1941), The Palm Beach Story (1942), and The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944).
Rumor has it that Charlie Chaplin himself frequented the Hollywood house, holding his first wedding (to actress Mildred Harris) in the gentleman’s room.
Renovated and restored by a Marvel star
The traditional-style home was renovated and restored a few years back by actor and well-known home flipper Jeremy Renner.
The Avengers star, who has renovated a series of homes alongside fellow actor Kristoffer Winters, sold the two-story home in 2015 for $4,300,000.
Inside, a grand 1,800-square-foot living room anchors the space
Two stories of living space include a family room, an updated kitchen and a grand living room with a marble-lined fireplace that oozes Old Hollywood charm. The oversized space spans 1,800 square feet, and features beamed ceilings, an exposed brick wall, and moody decor.
The house retains its Old Hollywood glam
While the entire house hints at the Hollywood-heavy past, it’s the original copper-topped bar that gives away its pedigree.
The grand living room retains the original copper-topped bar and a fireplace — a nod to its Old Hollywood grandeur. Other glam spaces throughout the 7,200-square-foot home include a formal dining room, a gentleman’s room, and a primary suite with a fireplace and French doors that lead to a private rooftop terrace with city views.
And pairs it with high-end contemporary finishes
Modern finishes are visible throughout, especially in the chef’s kitchen — that’s been outfitted with a high-end, La Cornue range.
Three additional en-suite guest bedrooms offer private patios, while an approximately 1,200-square-foot guest house comes with a full kitchen, dining area, laundry, and private patio.
A rooftop terrace, front garden, and heated pool
Outdoor areas include a rooftop terrace with views of the cityscape, a landscaped front garden with a fountain feature, several patios, and a charming backyard with a heated pool, surrounded by lush hedges.
