Filmmaker Puts His Midcentury Modern Estate on the Market for $4.7 Million
Director James Wan, famous for his horror franchises like Saw and The Conjuring and the blockbuster Aquaman, is stepping into the real estate spotlight. His renovated midcentury modern residence, nestled in the hills above West Hollywood, is now up for grabs at $4.7 million. Acquired in 2007 for $3.2 million, the property has been leased by the owner for some time.
Situated near the top of Doheny Estates, adjacent to the renowned Bird Streets enclave, the discreet single-story house spans 2,951 square feet. Originally built in 1960, it has undergone a thorough modernization, offering three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Gated and shielded by tall hedges, the property ensures privacy.
The house features ash-gray hardwood floors, white walls, and a seamless indoor/outdoor design. The living room, dining area, and kitchen blend into one open space, offering breathtaking views of the hills through a sliding glass door. The kitchen is sleek and modern, equipped with stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and custom cabinetry.
The master suite, though modest in size, includes a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a master bath with a separate vanity area. The backyard boasts a lush lawn, a blue swimming pool, and a patio dining area next to a koi pond—a captivating setting for intimate gatherings. Another pergola-covered dining area outside the kitchen completes the outdoor experience.
For those with $4.7 million to spare, Wan’s midcentury gem promises a stylish retreat in the heart of West Hollywood.
