The magnificent Los Angeles-area estate of late Paramount CEO Brad Grey is now on the market for $77.5 million.
Grey and his wife purchased the property for $18.5 million in 2010 before starting construction on their custom-designed mansion dubbed The Grey Estate. Located on more than two acres in the Holmby Hills neighborhood, the 14,000-square-foot estate holds eight bedrooms, eight full baths, and 4 half baths.
Interestingly enough, a former 1930s hacienda-style home once belonging to Frank Sinatra once stood on the lot, but the Greys opted to raze the home in order to build their contemporary masterpiece. The multi-winged mansion takes inspiration from rural builds and the Pacific Northwest, but the customized design tosses in plenty of modern flair along the way.
The massive home impresses with elements like vertical wood planks, floor-to-ceiling steel-trimmed glass walls, and rustic-style stone floors. High ceilings and open-concept living spaces bring a modern sense of proportion to the rustic aesthetic, and the interiors are bright, open, and cool despite the prominence of wood. A professional-grade screening room, den with a wet bar, and sunroom with a stone fireplace are highlights of the home.
The property includes a courtyard with an outdoor fireplace, and a two-story recreation pavilion with two gyms, steam room, sauna, and cold plunge pool. The estate also boasts a number of mature trees, an herb garden, a covered dining terrace, and a swimming pool.
Grey was known as an entertainment industry powerhouse, serving as both the CEO and chairman of Paramount Pictures.
