Actor Jason Statham and model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley listed the home in Hollywood Hills for sale at $8.999 million.
Actor Jason Statham continues to blaze a fast and furious trail through the Los Angeles real estate scene, this time selling his Hollywood Hills compound in less than two months for $9.2 million.
The action film star and Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley had listed the place in mid-June for $8.999 million.
Here’s the plot synopsis: In April he bought the contemporary showplace of fashion designer Jenni Kayne and her husband, real estate agent Richard Ehrlich, for $12.995 million. Then in May he purchased a dapper Midcentury Modern man cave for $2.7 million in Hollywood Hills West.
The couple restored the half-acre walled compound that just sold with help and updates from New York-based Roman & Williams.
The 1929 Mediterranean, once owned by actor Ben Stiller, includes living and family rooms, a den, a library/study, an office, a gym, a breakfast area, six bedrooms and six bathrooms on two stories.
Outdoor spaces include a dining patio with a tile fountain. Steps lead down to an elegant swimming pool.
