About this home
Original family home offered for the first time since built! In 1939 character actor and print model Robert Strong and his wife, Dorothy, purchased 1920 Screenland from Fidelity Builders Inc. to start their family. Robert had a prolific career spanning decades and made friends in the industry from cameramen to Hollywood icons and even ran an unsuccessful bid for mayor of Burbank. One friend was Gene Autry who gave him a sapling tree as a housewarming gift,. Today the mature tree still stands and is known in the neighborhood as the Gene Autry tree. Affable and approachable friends stopped by often to visit, including Elvis Presley, who came to see him at the house. After his passing his daughter, Janet, a costumer for the studios, became the steward of the home. As the decades passed the house was expanded and now has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (including 2 large suites). Many of the original features remain, including the hardwood floor and fireplace in the LR. A gourmet kitchen was created in the aughts with granite counters and stainless steel Viking appliances. The rear yard has a large covered patio, two lawn areas, a koi pond (currently drained) and two out buildings (one needing attention). The property enjoys award-winning Burbank schools and is within minutes of the studios, shopping, parks and Hollywood Burbank airport. The home has great potential and is ready for its next owner's story.
