"It was a one-story Colcord country Colonial. The architect was hired by Ford to add the second story. After Colcord died in 1984, his assistant Liza Kent completed the project. Ford would fly down in his plane to pick her up after she moved to San Diego."
"The home's features include paneled walls, four fireplaces, extensive built-ins and a bomb shelter. There is a swimming pool and a detached workshop where Ford does carpentry work. Ford made the mantel in the dining room."
"No limit for better, uttered in her thick German accent, became one of his mottoes, according to Parsons' book. When Parsons toured the house in 2007 while working on the book, his visit was carefully orchestrated by the amiable actor."
Harrison Ford's Brentwood compound, a Colonial Revival-style house designed by Gerard Colcord in 1951, is listed for $8.295 million. The two-story main residence sits on over three-quarters of an acre with mature trees and three detached guest suites. Ford hired Colcord to add a second story to the original one-story design; after Colcord's death in 1984, his assistant Liza Kent completed the project. The home features paneled walls, four fireplaces, extensive built-ins, a bomb shelter, swimming pool, and a detached workshop where Ford pursues carpentry. Ford purchased the property in 1983 for $1 million and maintains it with attack dogs for security.
