The About Your Mother\u00a0podcaster and Both Sides of Then author meticulously renovated the sprawling classic California home with the help of renowned architects Bennet Christopherson and Thorton Weiler, and landscape architect David Thorne. The result is a sleek, functional, and luxurious oasis where Griffith and her family lived in serenity, dubbing it the “California Dream.”<\/p>\n

“This house represents the California Dream. When I was young, I would close my eyes and imagine a U-shaped house that opened out to a courtyard, with a beautiful garden and a tall palm tree on the property. That dream became a reality and, in many ways, surpassed what I ever thought was possible,” says Griffith. “It’s serene and calm – built for connection and celebration.”<\/p>\n

With approx. 4,890 sq. ft. of living space set on one-third of an acre, the residence features five bedrooms, four full- and two-half bathrooms, all embracing and surrounding a central courtyard and garden. Additional highlights include a swimming pool, a lower-level entertainment area and game room, a resort-like primary suite, manicured established gardens, panoramic views of the San Francisco\u00a0skyline, the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge, and of course, a writer’s nook to work and create.\u00a0<\/p>\n
