Actress Lizabeth Scott’s Longtime Hollywood Hills Residence Is on the Market

HOLLYWOOD, CA – The Hollywood Hills residence of actress Lizabeth Scott, who died in January, has just come on the market. Scott, a protégée of producer Hal B. Wallis, was known for her sultry, hard-boiled roles in many Hollywood films noirs, B-movies, and classics including “Dead Reckoning,” with Humphrey Bogart and “Loving You,” with Elvis Presley. The Scott residence is being marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate and its exclusive affiliate, Hilton & Hyland.

The country/traditional home is the work of architect Robert Byrd, who flourished from the 1920s through the 1950s and whose projects were —and continue to be—popular with celebrities. Owners of Byrd-designed homes have included Ron Howard, Robert Taylor, Gregory Peck, Lana Turner, and Frank Zappa. According to Hilton & Hyland listing agent Zach Goldsmith, “Byrd was a California pioneer of the indoor-outdoor architectural style, and his homes are characterized by their beamed ceilings, charming fireplaces and other rustic details, and, often, his signature built-in birdhouse element.”

The home, which Scott purchased in 1950, is approximately 1,600 square feet and is situated above the eastern edge of the Sunset Strip. The ground floor is distinguished by an open-plan living and dining area with beamed ceilings and fireplace, kitchen and powder room. The living area opens out to a patio with swimming pool, while two upstairs bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite baths. The gated south-facing residence enjoys a sweeping view of Los Angeles.

“This is a perfect home for a couple or single individual, and it enjoys a dual provenance of having a celebrity owner as well as being the work of a noted architect,” continued Goldsmith. The home is offered at $1,790,000.
