Step into the secluded world of "Casa Wobada," a historic Spanish Colonial Revival residence with a rich legacy of notable residents that has been impeccably restored and upgraded throughout. Christened by Walt Disney himself, the name translates to "a place of tranquility and rest," reflecting the serene ambiance and privacy of this remarkable compound that is sited on 4 street to street lots, totaling 27,228 square feet. Among its prestigious residents was Joseph Schenk, the visionary founder and Chairman of 20th Century Fox, whose influence launched the iconic career of Marilyn Monroe, whose suite was perched atop the spiral staircase overlooking her pool that Schenk installed.
