4934 Queen Florence Lane | A Landmark Estate of Hollywood Heritage and Timeless English Elegance. Before gated communities defined luxury living in Los Angeles, there was 4934 Queen Florence Lane. This extraordinary English Cotswold inspired manor was commissioned in 1928 by renown developer Harold Ferguson as the crown jewel of his 250+ acre estate and remains one of the most historically significant private residences in the San Fernando Valley. Rich in provenance and meticulously preserved, the property seamlessly blends architectural authenticity, Hollywood legacy, and modern livability. Set behind gates on more than 2 acres of enchanting grounds, the estate offers approximately 6,474 square feet of living space, including a 4,847 square foot main residence, a 1,352 square foot guest house with poolside dressing rooms and baths, and a separate 275 square foot recreation room. A 200+ foot original granite brick cobblestone driveway winds through lush landscaping and towering specimen trees before arriving at the manor's storybook facade. Inside, extraordinary craftsmanship has been lovingly maintained for nearly a century. Hand honed hardwood floors, soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams, original leaded-glass windows and doors, hand-painted tile work, copper gutters and a slate roof reflect an era when homes were built as enduring works of art. The grounds evoke the romance of the English countryside. Mature oak trees and majestic Deodar cedars frame winding garden paths, expansive rose gardens, a tranquil koi pond, and a sweeping lawn once used as a croquet field. Resort style amenities include a private tennis court, sparkling pool, guest house with 2 dedicated changing rooms, creating an exceptional setting for both intimate living and grand scale entertaining. Among its distinguished owners was Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Curtiz, legendary director of Casablanca, who acquired the estate in the 1930s and commissioned enhancements to the property, documented by original blueprints dating to 1935. The estate later passed through a remarkable lineage of ownership, including business magnate Walter Weisman and Academy Award winning actor Gene Hackman. Located within the historic Forest Hills enclave, originally envisioned as the "Bel Air of the San Fernando Valley", the estate sits among one of the Valley's most coveted and picturesque neighborhoods. Developed decades before the growth of Los Angeles, Forest Hills is highly sought after for its quiet cul de sacs of the Queen streets with mature tree canopies that create an atmosphere of uncommon privacy and beauty. Rarely does a property emerge that so completely captures the spirit of California's Golden Age while remaining remarkably intact. More than a residence, 4934 Queen Florence Lane is a once in a generation opportunity to steward an irreplaceable piece of Los Angeles history. A true one of one estate. Timeless. Historic. Unrepeatable.
