Inside Storybook Mansion, the home Walt Disney designed himself – it's an homage to the fairytales he captured

Living room, pool area, dining

The home Walt Disney lived in from 1932 to 1950, and which is currently owned by vampire series filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, is currently up for lease at $40,000 per month. Not only does this site hold an exciting historical importance for all Disney lovers – including the current owner – but it is also a beautiful and elegant property designed in the style of a European country manor.

The property, which is based in Los Feliz, a hillside LA neighborhood, is just a stone's throw from Hollywood and Griffith Park. Walt Disney used the proceeds from his Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony films to purchasee the plot of land the house sits on. Here, he and his wife, Disney secretary Lillian, raised their two daughters.
