Lights, camera, Coppola! A Spanish Revival gem in California with deep ties to Hollywood royalty has hit the market for $2.25 million — offering not just sweeping views of Los Angeles, but a front-row seat to the Coppola family legacy.Tucked into the winding streets of Whitley Heights, a historic enclave once favored by silent film icons like Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, the 1922 residence was once owned by “The Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola purchased the home in 1994.For nearly two decades, it served as the creative haven of his daughter-in-law, costume designer Jacqui Getty, and her director daughter Gia Coppola, when he sold it to them back in October 2013, records show.Gia, now 38, was 4 years old when she first moved into the home.Her credits include “The Last Showgirl,” which came out in 2024.During their time in the home, the mother-daughter duo turned the 1,931-square-foot property into a bohemian Hollywood salon, hosting gatherings that blurred the line between work and play. Guests have included everyone from Demi Moore, Leonardo DiCaprio to the Smashing Pumpkins, while Jacqui — whose styling credits span from “The Darjeeling Limited” to music videos for the Beastie Boys and the Strokes — curated a distinctly calm ambiance.Architecturally, the three-bedroom, four-bath home retains its 1920s charm, with hand-troweled plaster walls, vintage tile, arched French doors and a red-tile roof.The home opens onto lush, multi-level gardens designed by landscape architect Art Luna, with mature greenery enveloping a private dipping pool and multiple al-fresco entertaining areas.Inside, sun-drenched rooms and antique hardware are seen throughout.
