All in the Family producer Fred Silverman has just reduced the price of his Los Angeles estate by $7.5 million.
Located in the lower Mandeville Canyon-area of Los Angeles, the impressive compound was just discounted from $30 million to $22.5 million in one large price cut. The veteran TV exec who’s served in top positions at CBS, NBC, and ABC purchased the first of the plot’s two parcels for just $2.55 million in 1992.
Silverman picked up the adjacent property a year and a half later for $650,000 from producer Werner Koenig. Described in the marketing materials as “The most important compound on the West side,” it’s certainly luxurious with an impressive manse settled on 2.63 acres.
Tucked discretely behind electronic driveway gates and a towering hedge, the traditional multi-winged main home stretches across 8,000 square feet with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths. Additionally, the master suite is luxe, too, with a sitting room, a separate bedroom, and french doors leading out to a private terrace.
Other features include formal living and dining rooms, vaulted exposed wood ceilings, an expansive eat-in kitchen, and a den/library. Of course, luxurious interior spaces wouldn’t be complete without plenty of opportunities for outdoor entertainment, too.
Outside, the new residents will enjoy a large pool cabana near the boulder-ringed freeform swimming pool, a lounge that doubles as a screening room, an outdoor bar/kitchen, a changing room, and a nearby bathroom. There’s also a tennis court, a massive koi pond, and a 3,500-square-foot guesthouse with four bedrooms on the property.
Fred Silverman brought to television such programs as Scooby-Doo, All in the Family, Charlie’s Angels, and Roots, among others. For his success in programing wildly popular shows, Time magazine called him “the man with the Golden gut.”
