Film producer Bob Yari has listed his longtime home in BHPO. Yari, who is most closely professionally associated with 2004’s Oscar-winning Best Picture ‘Crash,’ is asking $8.5 million for the 1980’s sprawler. Records indicate he purchased the home in 1996, for $1.4 million, and the house was apparently listed and delisted in early-to-mid 2013, when it was offered with an asking price of $6 million.

At 7,372 square feet, the house is comfortably expansive without becoming overwhelming, and the exterior design cues indicate traditional with a veneer of Tudor revival influence. Streetside, the home is defined by a great deal of glass, giving the overall impression of openness, which is borne out in the rear of the home, where the design opens frequently and pleasantly via sliding glass doors to greet the roughly eight-tenths of an acre of verdant, well-groomed grounds.

The extensively renovated home, in its present incarnation, presents an interior that holds few surprises, but is very nicely executed; a good mix of angularity and soft arches, lots of modern lighting, and a blend of pale and dark hardwood give the home a well-considered atmosphere. The home’s artful layout and 10’ ceilings bring excellent flow and scale to the mix.

There are six bedrooms throughout, all en-suite, including the master and the maid’s quarters; there are an additional two half-baths for the main living areas downstairs, as well as an office, a wet bar, and a fitness/dance studio. The patio, sunlounge, and freeform saltwater pool take full advantage of the location, offering lovely views of the city.

Yari’s production credits include the John Curran adaptation of Maugham’s ‘The Painted Veil’ and Lasse Hallström’s ‘The Hoax.’ He executive-produced this year’s ‘Above Suspicion.’
