Former MGM studio executive and producer Roger Birnbaum recently listed his Beverly Hills estate for $33.75 million.

Birnbaum purchased the home four years ago for $20 million. The home is an 8,055-square-foot mansion with four (possibly five) en-suite bedrooms, and several additional bathrooms.

Located in the highly sought-after Trousdale Estates neighborhood, the striking home was designed by mid-century architect Harold “Hal” Levitt for Diane and Charles Skouras in 1956. Between 2002 and 2006, the property underwent a series of modern yet eclectic renovations that give it an individual presence.

At one point, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi owned the estate; perhaps the home-connoisseurs were entranced by the light-filled entrance gallery, walls of glass, original parquet flooring, and raised heath marble fireplace. There’s a great deal of warmth and illumination in the house.

In addition to sweeping city views, the residence boasts a dining room fit for a dozen or more guests, a 500-square-foot music room, a dedicated library, an expansive kitchen with luxe appliances, black granite, and two islands. A games room with a marble-topped wet bar and floor-to-ceiling windows features sliders that open onto the pool, patio, and sunlounge.

Birnbaum’s highest-grossing films include “Rush Hour 2” and “Bruce Almighty.” He co-founded Spyglass Entertainment in the late 1990’s.
