"Originally built by landholder Isaac Newton Van Nuys - the San Fernando Valley neighborhood is named after him - on a corner in Westlake, the mansion was moved in 1914 by his son, J. Benton Van Nuys, to its current location in Windsor Square."
"Standing three floors tall, the 1890s home is entered through a domed turret, once the focal point of lavish parties and soirees. Inside, the spirit of a bygone era is evidenced in hand-carved details, stained glass windows and a hidden bar room complete with a secret door."
"If the home looks familiar, that's because it's been featured in numerous Hollywood productions, including in the 2003 film "Cheaper by the Dozen.""
