Anthony Hopkins has listed his Malibu retreat for sale this winter with an asking price of $11.5 million. The dignified hilltop house surveys the Pacific from a prime location in the Point Dume neighborhood. According to public records, Hopkins purchased the home in the late spring of 2001, and paid $3.8 million for it.

The house dates to 1958, and is designed as a kind of West Coast-inspired cape; its steeply pitched roof features a pair of dormers, but is finished with semicircular clay tiles. The ocean side of the house boasts a pair of tile patios, and another unique design element: a solarium room with a glass ceiling.

The interiors of the home extend to a little more than 4,000 square feet. Standout features include a fieldstone fireplace—whitewashed to limit its rustic effusion—as well as dark, narrow-plank hardwood floors, gloss pine floors, Saltillo tile floors, a spiral staircase, and an abundance of glass offering excellent views. Kitchen and baths have gone many a year without an update, but have not dated poorly, and comport themselves just fine as they are.

The lot is fairly large for a Point Dume waterfront, and at an acre gives residents a rather luxurious sense of breathing room. A pool, poolhouse and lawn overlooking the ocean offer a relaxed coastal Los Angeles-area living style that lets the setting have its proper due.

Hopkins took home a Best Actor Oscar for his role as reptilian Dr. Lecter in Jonathan Demme’s classic The Silence of the Lambs; his role as tragically propriety-obsessed butler Stevens in The Remains of the Day garnered him another nomination for the award. His portrayal of an aging patriarch in this year’s The Father may yield yet another.
