There’s even a fairytale cottage out back.
Winding up Woking Way, a small, twisty road between Los Feliz Boulevard and Griffith Park, you wouldn’t know it was any different from any of the other million-dollar homes surrounding it. That’s because, from the street, all you see is an imposing gate and a steep driveway.built, part storybook cottage, part luxury mansion, all Hollywood fairytale.
The house is all fairytale: white plaster and deep red brick, with dark wood shingles and stained glass windows. The front door is placed within a central tower topped with a weather vane, and the walk up to it is lined with rose bushes with two colors of rose on them: yellow for Walt and pink for his wife Lillian, who was a passionate gardener.
It’s also the same storybook cottage style of Walt’s favorite restaurant, the nearby Tam O’Shanter, which was built in 1922 and was the daily lunch spot for Disney and his inner circle. To this day, Table 31 still has a plaque on it marking Disney’s favorite spot in the restaurant.Learning about Disney history is sort of like falling down an “Alice in Wonderland”-style rabbit hole.
The cottage still stands in the backyard, though a pool has been added close by. “It had electricity, running water with a little sink, and it even had a working telephone that connected to the kitchen so that Lillian could call to the girls and tell them it was time to come in,” Sage explained.
