C&S Enterprises aims to park a 12-unit apartment building behind a historic home in Hollywood Hills once occupied by “Wonder Woman” actress Lynda Carter.

An affiliate of the Beverly Hills-based rental property firm has filed plans to build the apartments behind the 93-year-old Greek Revival home at 7922 West Hollywood Boulevard, Urbanize Los Angeles reported.

The 4,300-square foot manse, built in 1930, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and was once the home of Carter, interior designer LM Pagano and an art colony.

Its proposed redevelopment was presented to the Sunset Square Historic Preservation Overlay Zone Board for review.

Plans call for restoring the original five-bedroom, five-bathroom home and demolishing a non-historic rear addition.

A three-story apartment building containing a dozen units would be built behind the house, running the length of its deep backyard.  An underground parking garage would serve 19 cars.

The project, designed by Downtown-based Architectural Resources Group, would build the apartments in the style of the historic home, in addition to the scale of the properties next door.

Renderings depict a light gray complex with a dark gray roof overhanging third-story windows looking out onto terrace decks, each topped by trellises. The two-story home, now boarded up across its ground floor, would be restored to its original glory.

The property, which contains its original molding and marble fireplaces, last sold in 2014 for $3.1 million. In the 1970s, it was home to Carter, who starred on the “Wonder Woman” TV series, followed by a “hippie art colony,” according to Curbed.com. A dated listing said it had also been owned by 1930s and ‘40s  actress and singer Deanna Durbin.
