Nestled in the vintage‑charm enclave of Whitley Heights, this 1922 Spanish‑Revival residence once belonged to legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. Built by developer Hobart J. Whitley, the 1,900 sq ft, three‑bedroom, four‑bath home retains authentic period touches—from hand‑troweled plaster walls and vintage tile to arched French doors and a classic red‑tile roof.
Coppola and his wife acquired the property in the 1990s, later transferring it to costume designer Jacqui Getty in 2013. It became home to Getty and her daughter, filmmaker Gia Coppola, from age four through college.
Under their care, the home blossomed into a creative salon, hosting gatherings with notable guests—including Demi Moore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and members of the Smashing Pumpkins.
Landscape architect Art Luna transformed the grounds with Mediterranean‑style gardens, a private dipping pool, multiple entertaining areas and a reimagined garage converted into a guest suite or studio.
