Hot Property: Sparks co-owner Carla Christofferson asks $5.5 million for Hollywood Hills home
Hot Property
Carla J. Christofferson, co-owner of the L.A. Sparks and a partner with the O’Melveny & Myers law firm, has listed her 5,300-square-foot Hollywood Hills home for $5.5 million.
Built in the grand style of Old Hollywood, the restored 1928 California Spanish-style home features large rooms, a gourmet cook’s kitchen, en suite bedrooms with designer bathrooms, a pool house and a THX theater with a 96-inch high-definition projection screen. It sits behind a gated entry and the grounds include three fountains, an outdoor fireplace and pool. There are four bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms and five fireplaces. Much of the Malibu tile is original.
Character actor Alan Hale (father or Alan Hale Jr. – Skipper on “Gilligan’s Island” – and perhaps best known for his role as Little John in the 1938 “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” starring Errol Flynn), bought the property in 1935. His family held on to it for the next 50 years until it was sold by his estate in 1985.
Rachelle Rosten of Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills East office has the listing.
