Craig Gillespie, acclaimed Australian director, is shedding his private and verdant Brentwood estate after a decade and a half of ownership. Purchased in 2003 for a mere $3 million, Gillespie has listed the 4,613-square-foot haven at $6.995 million.Most recently, Gillespie’s claim to fame was his direction of the Tonya Harding bio-drama, I, Tonya, which was nominated for a triple axel’s worth of Oscars. This 1930s painted shingle traditional has a plethora of pleasures to offer both inside and out with chic boho style vibrant in every space. The property was recently renovated with great discretion for maintaining original architecture as well as the blissful gardens designed by renowned landscape architect, Jay Griffith.The home is uber private nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. The kitchen was recently updated to a fully-equipped chef’s kitchen, and French doors lead out to the courtyard where the lush landscaping lends a resort-like feeling to the space. There is plenty of special detail throughout the house including richly painted walls and ceilings, vibrant wallpaper, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a charming freestanding bath. All four bedrooms are on the second floor, including the master which overlooks the canyon below. There is even a separate guest room and bath with its own entrance.If figure skating judges had to rate this home, they’d surely give it a perfect score as it somehow preserves all the charm of a bygone era while still offering enough amenities to ensure its residents feel thoroughly pampered.Broker David Offer has the luscious listing, which was first reported by Variety.
