The Hills are alive — with the sound of an absolute real estate bargain.

In a neighborhood where seven-figure price tags and ultra-luxe living are the norm, a pair of rustic cottages in iconic Laurel Canyon has just landed on the market as the most affordable offering in the Hollywood Hills.

The 1933 home located at 1856 Jewett Drive is listed for $849,000 — yep, you read that right — and offers something increasingly rare in the highly sought-after canyon: Two separate houses on one terraced lot.

At street level sits the main bungalow, a compact and traditional layout with hardwood floors throughout and a stone fireplace that feels pulled from an earlier era of LA-style hippie-dippy living.

Down an outdoor staircase sits a completely independent second unit, tucked into the hillside and surrounded by greenery with canyon views galore — and resplendent with an outdoor clawfoot tub. Although not hooked up, the tub is perfect for a rustic soak under the stars.

Listing agent Amy Nelson Frelinger of Douglas Elliman called the home a chance to experience “canyon living from a bygone era.”

“Life was simpler, more compact and efficient,” she said. “Providing privacy, character and a chance to improve in your own style, Jewett presents the most affordable home in the canyon. The canyon community focuses on connection and caring. The Hollywood Hills continue to offer an alluring retreat from city life.”

The property is being marketed as a one-bedroom, two-bathroom pair of “rustic rubies in the rough” just minutes from Sunset Boulevard. With birdsong (well, it is located mere miles from the exclusive Bird Streets), canyon breezes and a resonating sense of seclusion, this home leans hard into old-school Hollywood Hills charm rather than modern yet sterile glass-and-steel flash.

In a market where starter homes are more often than not well above the million mark, the Jewett Drive listing stands out as a genuine anomaly — a quirky, character-filled foothold in one of Los Angeles’ most storied and historical neighborhoods, priced to sell under $850,000.
