Studio City home of late filmmaker-philanthropist Jackie Hunsicker comes to market
The Studio City home of late filmmaker, inventor and philanthropist Jackson “Jackie” Hunsicker is on the market at $1.498 million.
Hunsicker, who died in December at 69, was known for writing and directing the 1986 film musical “The Frog Prince” and the 1990 comedy “Oddball Hall.” She also wrote the screenplay for “Ten Little Indians,” the 1989 film adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel.
In addition to her work in film, Hunsicker was elected to the Women Inventors Hall of Fame for creating the key-chain recording device known as the Memo-Mate. A decade ago she created the Reading Glass Project, a program for delivering reading glasses to those in need in Third World countries.
Her longtime home, built in 1960, sits at the end of a private road on about an acre of grounds. Designed in Modernist style, it features open-plan living areas, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and 180-degree canyon and city views from most rooms.
The 2,527 square feet of interior includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a center-island kitchen and a breakfast area. Bookshelves fill a wall in the living room area, which has a two-side wood-burning fireplace.
A brick terrace sits off the common area and has staircase that leads down to the swimming pool. Nearby is a guest/pool house.
