"Zanuck owned the estate from the 1920s into the '40s, the same stretch that saw him leave Warner Bros. and found Twentieth Century Pictures in the '30s. Zanuck, who died in 1979 at 77, worked in film from the '20s into the '70s, earning three Academy Awards for best picture along the way."
"Through an antique front door, the two-story floor plan opens to a grand entry hall with wood beams, wrought iron and a chandelier. Boasting a bold black-and-white color palette interrupted by high-end finishes, the common spaces carry a Hollywood Regency style. There's a formal living room with a custom fireplace, a formal dining room, an indoor-outdoor lounge with a wet bar and a chef's kitchen with a massive marble-topped center island."
"The exterior, draped in ivy and clay tile, still offers a Spanish vibe, but the lavish living spaces mirror the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's golden age. Upstairs, the master suite expands to a terrace overlooking the grounds. It's one of four bedrooms and 5.25 bathrooms."
A Spanish Colonial mansion in Beverly Hills, once owned by legendary film producer Darryl Zanuck and actress Virginia Fox, is now on the market for $9.5 million. Zanuck owned the property from the 1920s through the 1940s, during his pivotal career transition from Warner Bros. to founding Twentieth Century Pictures. The recently remodeled estate features a two-story floor plan with grand entry halls, wood beams, wrought iron details, and Hollywood Regency styling throughout. The home includes four bedrooms, 5.25 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a chef's kitchen with marble island, and multiple lounges. Outdoor amenities encompass landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, pool house, and turf yard. The property last sold in 2012 for $3.629 million.
