Screenwriters Roger Simon and Sheryl Longin redraft their asking price in Hollywood Hills
Husband-and-wife screenwriter duo Roger Simon and Sheryl Longin are ready to sell in the Hollywood Hills.
They’ve relisted their 1930s Spanish-style estate for $2.5 million, down $750,000 from the first price they set in November, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Vibrant shades of green, tan and pink spruce up the façade before opening to a two-story interior with Old World charm. Wood-beamed ceilings hang over Saltillo tile floors in the living spaces, which include a quirky kitchen full of patterned designs.
Floor-to-ceiling brick fireplaces anchor the living room and master suite, one of four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. In the master bathroom, bright blue tile encircles a spa tub.
A pair of terraces cash in on the property’s hillside backdrop, pulling in canyon views above a backyard with a pool, spa and dining patio.
Paul Czako of Gussman Czako Estates is the listing agent.
Simon, 74, landed an Academy Award nomination in 1989 for co-writing the screenplay for “Enemies, a Love Story.” As a novelist, he adapted his book “The Big Fix” for the 1978 film of the same name starring Richard Dreyfuss.
Longin co-wrote the 1999 political comedy “Dick,” which starred Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams. As a pair, she and Simon co-wrote the screenplay for “Prague Duet,” which Simon then directed in 1998.
