A home once owned by a Warner Brother has hit the market. The one-time home of Harry Warner is priced at $36 million, down a flat 10% from its initial listing price of last year, when it was offered at $40 million.

The current owners paid about $5 million for the property about two decades ago, and put another $12 million into it during their tenure, restoring it to its former period glory with a great deal of care. It now features reclaimed timber, stone and handmade windows, all imported variously from England, Italy and France.

An amalgam of traditional English and French country house styles, the Beverly Hills residence dates to 1923, and features notable exterior design features like a ported drive and tiled motor court. The main house is a mix of brick and timbered walls, and measures a little more than 12,200 square feet; with the guest house, the number of bedrooms and baths comes to seven and nine, respectively.

From the double-door entry—the doors featuring stained glass panels—the renovation has placed the emphasis on an antique look, with muted warm textures in beiges and browns setting off the exposed beams of the vaulted ceilings, and the hardwood of floors, wainscoting and windows very nicely, albeit somewhat blandly; the look is conspicuously engineered, but done with taste, and gives a good context for all the rounded arches, leaded windows, and inlaid floors.

The house features a very nice traditional English library with a stepped marble hearth, a deco-inspired master bath, and more modern amenities like the extensive home fitness center. The property exterior features gardens and a pretty natural-looking lagoon-style pool amid over 1.1 acres of land.

Harry Warner was the first president of Warner Bros. Pictures. Initially a poverty row studio, the advent of talkies gave Warner the window of opportunity. He headed the company until its sale in the nineteen-fifties.
