1901 N Orchid is a one-of-a-kind Hollywood Hills multifamily jewel, known as Las Orquideas—a historic Andalusian garden village originally built in 1929 by renowned art director Wilfred Buckland. Impeccably restored in 2019 by Howell & Padgett—also known for the celebrated Torre del Moro residences in Beachwood Canyon—this nine-unit compound is part of the Golden Era Collection, a curated portfolio of Los Angeles’ most iconic vintage properties.

Perched in the foothills of the Hollywood Hills just above Hollywood Boulevard, 1901 N Orchid captures the timeless romance of old Hollywood with the comforts of modern design. Buckland, a frequent collaborator of Cecil B. DeMille, envisioned Las Orquideas as a Spanish hill town: five coral-colored villa-style buildings arranged around stone walkways, lush gardens, and intimate open-air plazas. The restoration preserved original architectural details—arched doorways, wood-beamed ceilings, stained glass, fireplaces, and hardwood floors—while discreetly integrating updated kitchens, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, and custom cabinetry. Oversized windows and tall ceilings flood each space with natural light, and several residences include private balconies or patios with sweeping city views.

Las Orquideas offers more than just architectural beauty. It is a Mills Act-designated property, providing significant property tax savings to owners committed to historic preservation. With a flexible mix of nine residential units and a bonus space, this Hollywood Hills multifamily compound delivers both income potential and lifestyle value.

As a fully restored piece of Los Angeles’ cinematic past, 1901 N Orchid is more than just real estate—it’s part of the Golden Era Collection of legacy investments. For those seeking a property rich in history, character, and tax-efficient returns, Las Orquideas stands in a class of its own within the Los Angeles multifamily market.
