A House Where a Nancy Meyers Romantic Comedy Was Filmed Wants $11.8M

There are so many careful details that go into making a Nancy Meyers romantic comedy, but finding the right backdrop to help paint a picture of the main character’s life is pivotal. The director’s movies always showcase beautiful homes, and this Los Angeles gem that took center stage in The Holiday is no exception.

Now listed for $11.8 million, the chic Spanish-style mansion was filmed as the home of a workaholic producer, played by Cameron Diaz, who lives a glamorous life, but needs to escape Los Angeles and go on a holiday after a terrible break up. Situated behind gates and filled with charming features like a carved wood ceiling, the stunning 7-bedroom abode seems like an ideal escape to us.

Built in 1928, Famous architect Wallace Neff designed the 10,324-square-foot home to be his personal residence. High ceilings and original details, including iron wall sconces and dramatic fireplaces, add a palpable sense of history to the rooms. Unique nooks like the cozy, wood-beamed library and luxe outdoor spaces like the sparkling pool or sprawling balconies provide spaces for every mood or whim.

While this place may look movie-perfect, it is surely a reality and will make a new owner very happy. Brent Chang of Compass has the extraordinary listing.

Nearby sits another picturesque house that Meyers hand-picked for one of her movies and it used to belong to an A-list power couple.
