Feature film director and TV producer McG put his period Spanish-style in the Hills up for sale on the open market this spring. McG, who also founded production company Wonderland Sound and Vision, has owned the three-bedroom property for nearly fifteen years. The residence is currently listed with an asking price of $8.995 million. Last year, McG acquired a Beverly Hills spread, paying $14.7 million for the keys.

Dating to 1933, the listed house is sequestered behind a formidable but elegant red brick privacy wall; there’s a fair amount of original red brick in the house and its companion guest house as well. Along with the terra-cotta tile and glossy hardwood, the home might suffer from warmth overload if not for the modern design elements that have crept into the property over the years, lending it a distinguished midcentury feel.

Most appealing in the home is the living room, which is lined with a series of wood-framed casements overlooking genuinely stunning views. It features a graceful ceiling arch, exposed beams and an oversized fireplace to boot. The home’s exterior living area is as impressive, with a grassy courtyard inset with a fountain as a centerpiece, and various patios, a fire pit and a circular pool popping up on a tour.

A remarkable turnkey lifestyle property in a desirable section of Los Angeles.
