Los Angeles has tons of iconic homes, and one one of them just changed hands. Located off the beat and path on a secluded hilltop in Chatsworth, the suave midcentury modern and its guest house were designed by acclaimed architect William Pereira AIA and famously once owned by Frank Sinatra. Now, both parcels have sold for $5,000,000 and $2,999,999 respectively to the same buyer.

Sinatra lived here in the 1950s and 1960s, and it’s still the picture of midcentury California glamour. That’s why shows like Mad Men, Dreamgirls, and more sought it out for filming. In the last few years, it often made headlines when it came on and off the market at various asking prices.

The new owner is lucky indeed as the ritzy residence feels like a true, private oasis with no neighbors in sight but all city views. Thanks to the immense walls of glass and the expansive outdoor areas, the manicured green surroundings and glistening city lights are an ever-present part of the living experience here. It’s easy to imagine Sinatra throwing parties with panache here. The listing, held by Blair Chang and Craig Knizek of The Agency, even asserts that under his ownership, it “was the playground for Hollywood’s elite.”

Today, the possibilities for the home are still endless. The new owner could reserve the four-bedroom main house and it’s three-bedroom guest bungalow for private use only, or continue to rent it for filming or star-studded events occasionally. HERMES used it in 2021 as the venue for their “Red” party, for example, so it’s clear the property’s look and lore is as powerful as ever.
