Howard Hughes' legendary Hollywood mansion is yours for $23 Million
Howard Hughes's legendary Hollywood estate has hit the market for $23 million (£18.2 million).
The property, where the famed movie mogul lived and produced some of his biggest movies, and was also used as a film location in The Aviator, is a majestic Spanish Revival estate, designed by famed architect Roland E. Coate. It sits on the 8th green of the Wilshire Country Club, where Hughes loved to golf.
The 10,179-square-foot home has been thoughtfully updated but retains original details such as wood-beamed ceilings and red-clay floor tiles. Within the gates of this half-ellipse-shaped mansion lies a world where history intertwines with modern luxury. It has a central cobblestone courtyard, adorned with a fireplace, and exudes grandeur.
The chef's kitchen, with polished brass countertops and gold-tiled splashbacks, frames a 24-foot island, while a voluminous family room embraces floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that whisper stories of an era gone by. Big windows frame vistas that span the golf course, the iconic Hollywood Hills, and the storied Hollywood Sign. This mansion, steeped in history, accommodates eight bedrooms, a screening room, a 2,500-bottle wine vault, and an attached guest residence complete with its own kitchen and bath. The backyard offers a lush sanctuary adorned with citrus trees, lounge areas, a custom pizza oven, and a refreshing swimming pool. It is also on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The home is situated in Hancock Park, a luxurious Los Angeles enclave that was once home to the likes of Mae West, Clark Gable, and Nat King Cole and is now home to contemporary stars like Margot Robbie and Fred Savage.
