The former Brentwood home of legendary actor Jimmy Stewart has come up for sale for the first time in more than half a century. The asking price is $7.75 million.
The Traditional-style home in the Brentwood Park area has been owned by the same family for 60 years and is being sold in a trust sale. Stewart lived there in the 1940s before moving to the flats of Beverly Hills shortly after he was married in 1949.
Built in 1938, the single-story house sits on a flat lot of about half an acre with a gated courtyard entry. A formal living room features a paneled wall and fireplace. A dining/family room with a second fireplace sits off the kitchen.
Four bedrooms and four bathrooms lie within more than 4,600 square feet of living space.
Outside, mature trees and hedges surround a large grassy area and patio. A two-car garage sits off the front.
Stewart, who died in 1997 at 89, was considered Hollywood’s “Everyman” for enduring roles in films including “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “The Philadelphia Story” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” In the late 1940s and ‘50s, he collaborated with director Alfred Hitchcock on four films — “Rope,” “Rear Window,” “Vertigo” and the 1956 remake of “The Man Who Knew Too Much.”
