Walden Drive

Walden Drive, is a large street in Beverly Hills, California, and is one of the most attractive and remarkable streets in the California. It is a very popular location for the film industry, for films such as Beverly Hills Cop II. This is right next door to the Spadena House, one of the many story book homes in California. One of the most fabulous homes in Beverly Hills has curiously never been inhabited by any of its stars. Constructed in 1921 by art director Harry Oliver and aptly nicknamed the "Witch's House," it really does look like it belongs in a fantasy world, with its jagged, peaked roof and mullioned windows. A testament to its true wackiness, the house was originally located in Culver City, but was moved because admirers frequently caused traffic problems. Unfortunately, today the house is a private residence and is not open to the public.
