Hot Property: Thomas Schulman sells Brentwood home to Michael LaFetra for $10.5 million
Thomas Schulman, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter, has sold his Brentwood home to film producer Michael LaFetra for $10.5 million.
Designed by architect Steven Ehrlich and built in 1992, the Modernist house is set on 1.35 acres at the end of a bamboo-lined driveway. The 9,000-square-foot house is accessed by an entry bridge.
Inside are a two-story living room, two offices, a game room, a media room, a library, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Schulman, also a director and producer, won his Oscar for writing “Dead Poets Society” (1989). Other writing credits include “Welcome to Mooseport” (2004) and “8 Heads in a Duffel Bag” (1997).
LaFetra is a house collector and renovator, often buying significant homes, restoring them and returning them to the market. Last month he listed the Frank Gehry-designed Schnabel House at slightly less than $15 million.
Timothy Enright of the Enright Co. was the listing agent for Schulman. Cory Weiss of Douglas Elliman represented LaFetra.
