If location is everything in real estate, then 6105 Mulholland Highway may have just taken home the crown.
Nestled into the hillside of Beachwood Canyon and perched just beneath the towering white letters that spell “Hollywood,” this A-frame chalet isn’t just close to the famous sign — it’s the closest residence to it, The Post has learned.
Listed for $2.25 million with Christopher Soffer and Trenton Armitage of The Beverly Hills Estates, the midcentury hideaway offers something few properties can: front-row views of the cultural landmark that has defined Los Angeles for a century.
“It is extremely limited,” Soffer told The Post. “Being the closest house to the Hollywood sign in the world is as limited as it gets.”

Built in 1963 and tucked at the end of a private road, the three-bedroom, 2,500-square-foot home will be the first time it will hit the market in almost 40 years.
“It’s perched up in the trees, almost like a tree house,” Soffer said.

The home’s current owners, digital effects pioneer Jeffrey Kleiser and sculptor Diana Walczak, have used the space as both residence and creative incubator.
Walczak, best known for sculpting the Michael Jackson HIStory statue and designing its digital version for the album cover, and Kleiser, whose credits span “Tron” to “X-Men,” are consolidating their property portfolio.
