Welcome to 1174 N. Hillcrest Road, the legendary “Elvis House” in Trousdale Estates, a rare intersection of celebrity history and postwar Beverly Hills design. Widely attributed to architect Rex Lotery and designed in 1958, the home became Elvis Presley’s California residence for six years beginning in 1967, a chapter that overlapped with his marriage to Priscilla Presley and the birth of their daughter, Lisa Marie.
Beyond the headline, what makes this property enduring is that it expresses the core Trousdale formula: discreet from the street, dramatically open to the rear, and engineered for indoor-outdoor living where the terrace and views become part of the architecture. Architectural Digest famously described it as an “idiosyncratic mash-up” of classic California modernism with Hollywood Regency, a blend that feels especially on-brand for Trousdale’s glamorous mid-century era.
Set on an approximately 1.18-acre promontory at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the estate captures sweeping city-to-ocean panoramas, the kind of “life above it all” horizon Trousdale is known for. A gated entry and long driveway deliver you to a four-car motor court, reinforcing the private-compound feel.
Inside, the home is celebrated for its “great bones”: high ceilings, hardwood floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Recent updates cited in listing coverage include stainless steel appliances, new flooring, and upgraded electrical, while the layout remains tuned for entertaining, flowing to outdoor terraces and view-facing living areas.
Outside, the lifestyle is pure Beverly Hills: a patio with fireplace, a resurfaced pool and spa, and lush lawns framed by those panoramic vistas offering a compelling opportunity to enjoy now and/or customize into a next-level Trousdale statement estate.
