Design
The estate, with its 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2) mansion in the Georgian style with a Greek portico, was featured in a 1992 article in Architectural Digest and described as "the archetypal studio mogul's estate".[2] Warner had hired Roland Coate as his architect to enlarge and remodel the existing Spanish-style mansion and William Haines for the interior decorating. Florence Yoch designed the grounds.[2] In addition, the estate has a pool, a tennis court, and a nine-hole golf course.
The house is featured in the 2008 book The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills by
The grounds of the estate also include several guest houses, including one used by Marilyn Monroe.[4]
Ownership
After Warner's death in 1978, his widow, Ann Warner, continued to live at the estate until her death in 1990. David Geffen bought the estate including its furnishings – "the last intact estate from Hollywood's Golden Age in Beverly Hills"[2] – in 1990 for $47.5 million; a record price for a single-family home at that time. Jeff Bezos's record-breaking purchase of the Jack Warner Estate from David Geffen was reported in February 2020.[1]
