The spot where a legend of Hollywood once hung his hat could be yours this spring. The onetime Los Angeles home of Academy Award-winning movie star Burt Lancaster—whose films include The Leopard, Elmer Gantry, and The Professionals—is priced at $2.4 million.

The Janus-faced house—traditional in front, more modern in back—is a four-and-four of about 2,800 square feet. The interior living spaces are finished in soft grays, with oak floors adding warmth and texture.

The living style of this house is unpretentious and very inviting. Tops among individual spaces is the screened porch that surveys the patio and pool area, with hillside views beyond. The lot isn’t large, but it uses available space very well, setting a tone of sylvan tree-dotted secrecy with gardens, a plunge pool, and a raised plant bed nestled within a green glade of yard.
