One lucky Los Angeles resident could soon be living in a piece of Hollywood history. The house owned by Kim Basinger’s character in crime drama L.A. Confidential is now on the market for $7.5 million, and it’s every inch the romantic Spanish mansion you remember from the movie. Sitting in the wealthy enclave that is Hancock Park, this 5,000 square-foot home has all the space you need for living like an A-list star, and then some.
Let’s get down to details, shall we? The home features four bedrooms, five baths, and tons of natural light coming in through tall, airy windows, French doors, and archways leading outdoors. While the clean beiges and neutrals of the decor are pure Nancy Meyers California chic, the home’s architectural touches are grand and striking, like the living room’s wrought-iron staircase, or the stone-covered pathways dotted throughout the grounds. With its open plan and tree-lined yards, this sun-filled estate is summer all year long.
While the house may scream old Hollywood royalty, the amenities are brand-new. The property recently finished two years of renovations, and now boasts a two-story guest house by the pool, a bocce ball court and putting green, both a chef’s kitchen and a service kitchen, and and indoor and outdoor dining areas perfect for entertaining.
From dreamy fireplaces, chandeliers, and Juliet balconies to swanky poolside bars and marble en-suite bathrooms, all this house is missing is you. Take a look inside this glamorous luxury mansion and start living out your Hollywood daydreams today.
