"The two-story home, built in 1929, has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and sits behind gates on a flat site that backs up to the Los Angeles Country Club. There is a formal living room, a dining room, a library, his-and-her powder rooms and a media room with a film projector and screen that drops from the ceiling. Interior treatments include maple paneling, leaded-glass windows and a hand-carved staircase."
"Metropoulos, who has worked with his father and older brother Evan from a young age helping reinvigorate such household brands as Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee tuna, is a fan of muscle cars. The property includes a large motor court and a three-car garage where he can house his collection."
"Holmby Hills was conceived as a development of exclusive estates by Broadway department store founder Arthur Letts. The Hefner residence was designed by Arthur R. Kelly for the sister of Arthur Letts Jr., the original owner of the Playboy Mansion. It had been listed since early March at $27,995,000."
Hugh Hefner and his wife Kimberley sold their Holmby Hills residence adjacent to the Playboy Mansion for $18 million to Daren Metropoulos, a 25-year-old entrepreneur and son of equity investor C. Dean Metropoulos. The 1929 English Manor-style home spans 7,300 square feet on 2.3 acres, featuring five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, formal living spaces, a library, media room, and manicured grounds with a swimming pool. Originally listed at $27.995 million in March, the property was designed by Arthur R. Kelly and sits behind gates backing the Los Angeles Country Club. Metropoulos, who works in brand revitalization with his family, plans to keep the residence and utilize its three-car garage for his muscle car collection.
