The Maurice Seiderman Resdience and Studio
The Maurice Seiderman House 1955. With head-on jetliner views, this Hollywood Hills home has a storied architectural and Hollywood provenance.

The sumptuous primary suite also opens to the views and features its own private patio, luxurious boutique-like dressing room, and elegant marble bath.
