For affluent L.A. buyers with a penchant for midcentury architecture or contemporary pop culture, a new listing may be the ultimate find. High above the Sunset Strip in Hollywood Hills, where viewers often see the Selling Sunset crew showing homes in six-inch heels, this groovy spread was designed in the 1960s by revered architect Harry Gesner. Since then, it’s been home to icons like Liza Minnelli, Jack Haley Jr., and Christina Aguilera. Now, it’s newly on the market seeking $8.399 million.
Currently owned by Beautyblender exec Carsten Fischer, who purchased the property in 2011, the midcentury modern was for sale last year priced at $8.645 million. It’s unique, angular spaces that flow easily for entertaining may better woo someone this time around thanks to the new price.
Design-wise, the 6,500-square-foot home has an organic yet suave look thanks to wood elements like the angled-slat front door, walls of glass, and pops of colder materials like stone and steel. Further highlights of the four-bedroom abode include a sunken “conversation pit” and a wet bar overlooking L.A.’s iconic hills. The entire home was clearly configured with fun and relaxation in mind, as the lower level holds yet another bar and a screening room for watching all your favorite Hollywood films. Meanwhile, in the primary suite, all you have to do is open the entire wall of glass doors and lay in bed to feel like you’re really in a poolside cabana.
Also formerly home to past White House Chief Correspondent, Steven Herman, 1443 Devlin Drive truly brings to mind the phrase “if these walls could talk…” Levik Stephan and Anita Stephan of Hilton & Hyland/Forbes Global Properties hold the listing.
