Rufus Wainwright, the prolific, free-spirited singer/songwriter/composer has put his home in Laurel Canyon on the market. And it’s exactly what one might expect—a quirky but classic c.1926 Storybook Style cottage in a gated enclave and containing all the standard Storybook details: the library in a turret; timber balconies and faux stone railings; leaded glass windows; romantic volumes in stucco and stone. The film industry and residential development were booming, and unique to LA, there was considerable crossover with set designers and the craftspeople who designed and built these houses, enabling ordinary people to live, however briefly, like Snow White or Errol Flynn, or both.
In Rufus Wainwright’s world, the primary suite has a piano and a nook looking into the canyon.

A secluded 3-bed, 4-bath dwelling in a legendary neighborhood, from a very special time in LA’s architectural history and with a rockstar pedigree, co-listed by Alexandre Anu at Douglas Elliman and Dag Eliason at Hilton & Hyland.
