Celeste PetersonThe Witch’s House in Beverly Hills? Total dream. Originally built as a silent film set in the 1920s, it looks like it walked straight out of a dark fairy tale—which, let’s be real, is sorta me.
The Witch’s House, also known as the Spadena House, was designed by art director Harry Oliver in 1921. It was originally built as a set for Willat Studios in Culver City and later moved to Beverly Hills in 1926. Oliver, known for his whimsical and storybook-style architecture, designed the house to have a deliberately quirky, fairy-tale appearance, complete with a sloping, uneven roof and tiny, crooked windows.
The overgrown garden only adds to the magic, making it feel like some old-world enchantress lives inside. And in a neighborhood full of sleek modern mansions and classic LA estates, it sticks out in the best way possible. Basically, if I were a house, this might be the one.
