Stan Lee—the late comic book legend, Spider-Man inventor, and Marvel Comics creator—once owned this Los Angeles home. In fact, Lee and his wife bought the home for their daughter, JC Lee. The Hollywood Hills residence was the final property Lee purchased in his lifetime, before passing at age 95 in 2018. Lee held a variety of estates that have also after his death, including a condo at the Four Seasons in San Francisco.
Nestled above the Sunset Strip in the iconic Bird Streets neighborhood and newly on the market seeking $8.8 million, the 5,200 square-foot home is just one story, making for easy maneuvering. While the footprint is currently relatively empty, it is the ideal blank canvas for those with design superpowers to transform in a flash.
The primary suite boasts two large walk-in closets, his-and-her bathrooms, its own fireplace, and a sauna. Plus, there are two more bedroom for guests. The home’s movie theater seems like an ideal place to honor the past owner, and perhaps host a viewing of one of Marvel’s many movies. Of course, the home is complete with three life-size Spider-Man statues, paying homage to the former owner’s world-famous character.
The half-acre lot is also ideal for enjoying the outdoors. A swimming pool, spa, and cabana sit behind the home. A paved upper deck adds an additional space for entertaining.
