A Hollywood Hills West villa where actress Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” once made her home has sold for $1.86 million. The buyer is TV writer-producer and Archie Comics chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Part of a storied five-unit complex, the Spanish Revival-style residence sits behind gates and is surrounded by a lush landscaping, courtyards and garden terraces. Sets of cabanas and a shared swimming pool are also within the tree-topped grounds.
The three-story floor plan is full of classic character details with Saltillo-tiled floors, arched doorways, built-ins and wrought iron work. Modern fixtures and hardware are among the updates.
