With a significant overall price reduction, and after a long stretch on the market, produced Jerry Bruckheimer has seen his Brentwood contemporary into contract. The property had been most recently listed with an asking price of $11.9 million, and had been initially listed in 2015 for $14.5 million. Bruckheimer owned the property home for thirty years, having purchased it in 1985 for $1.9 million.
Known as the Siskin House, and constructed in 1965, the formal concrete, glass and wood design measures 9,030 square feet with seven bedrooms and seven baths, including a guest house.
The main residence features vaulted ceilings, a library, kitchen with breakfast nook, and media room. The master suite is located in its own wing of the home.
The design and layout is heavily Japanese-influenced; the clean lines throughout, the private garden of the master suite merging natural landscape and interior, the compartmentalized, illuminated open spaces, the glass paneled halls and the frosted glass panels of the main entryway echo tropes of Japanese dwellings.
The meditative and detached feel of the home is balanced with polished hardwood floors, and the hardwood ceilings of the living room. The Japanese-inspired chandelier in the dining room stands out beautifully against all the glass and space. Water features and fireplaces add a little soothingly overt kinetic energy, and coherence to the vision.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise films have grossed $3.7 billion. The newest film of the series, ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales,’ will be opening in the spring.
