Down the yellow brick road and behind the gates of Bel Air, it soon becomes clear that you’re not in Kansas anymore. Partially, because the area’s beautiful homes are full of Hollywood prestige. Judy Garland—who starred in The Wizard of Oz (1939), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), A Star is Born (1954), and other classics—built a timeless home here in 1938 and it just hit the market. But, the listing is gaining buzz for more reasons than just its celebrity roots. Josh Flagg of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles just changed brokerages from Douglas Elliman to Compass and is representing the $11,495,000 gem. It’s quite a listing to kick off the career move with.
The 5,513-square-foot home designed by architect Wallace Neff totals five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and one half-bath. Charming interiors include hardwood floors, fireplaces, and an updated chef’s kitchen. Outside, 2.7 acres of meticulous grounds await, including an expansive brick patio, a swimming pool with a diving board, a pool house, and a writer’s cottage.
With over $3 billion worth of transactions, often representing celebrities and high-net-worth individuals (like the co-founder of Tinder), Flagg is no stranger to the luxury real estate scene. “I am excited to begin this next chapter with Compass,” Flagg shared in a press release. “While I am grateful for my journey thus far, especially for my former colleagues who are like family, I am finally ready to embark on my next venture and I look forward to the great things we will accomplish together.” Flagg brings a $400 million listing portfolio to Compass.
