About the Property
8225 Fountain, also known as Patio del Moro, is one of the most iconic West Hollywood multifamily properties ever constructed—an architectural jewel and historic residence to Hollywood legends including Charlie Chaplin and Humphrey Bogart. Built in 1925 by Arthur and Nina Zwebell and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986, this Spanish Revival courtyard compound embodies the cultural and design legacy of early 20th-century Los Angeles.
Patio del Moro comprises seven maisonette-style apartments, each designed with privacy, elegance, and artistry in mind. The Andalusian and Moorish-inspired architecture features hallmark elements like a copper-domed Tunisian tower, horseshoe-arched entry tunnel, Juliet balconies, and intricate tiled fountains. The layout interlaces private patios, secluded terraces, and lushly landscaped courtyards—offering an unparalleled indoor-outdoor experience that feels more like a Mediterranean villa than a conventional apartment complex.
As part of the Golden Era Collection, 8225 Fountain represents one of four exquisitely restored vintage multifamily buildings located in prime Los Angeles neighborhoods. The property is designated under the Mills Act, providing valuable property tax incentives for owners who invest in preserving its historic character. From hand-tiled fireplaces to hand-carved woodwork, every unit blends timeless craftsmanship with a sense of cinematic heritage.
Set within the Harper Avenue Historic District—just steps from the Sunset Strip, world-class dining, and West Hollywood’s most sought-after amenities—Patio del Moro offers investors the rare chance to own a historically protected, cash-flowing asset in one of LA’s most competitive rental submarkets.
For investors, collectors, or legacy portfolio builders, 8225 Fountain is more than a trophy—it’s a living artifact of Los Angeles history, and one of the most treasured properties in the West Hollywood multifamily landscape.
