The Spanish-style villa owned by Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel is listed for sale at $35 … [+]
Hollywood Hills is defined as much by geographic location as it is by the people who live there.
This more than 10-acre compound in the Los Angeles residential neighborhood boasts generations of celebrity provenance. It’s now for sale at US $35 million.
The current owners and sellers are 10-time Grammy-winning singer Justin Timberlake and his wife, actress Jessica Biel. He bought the place nearly two decades ago from Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress Helen Hunt, who built the two-story house on the then 3-acre site. The 13,530-square-foot Spanish villa is on what was once part of the estate of early swashbuckling actor Errol Flynn.
Newer additions to the property include the two swimming pools.
Set behind gates and a guard house, at the end of a cul-de-sac off Mulholland Drive, the tranquil property provides complete privacy yet is city-close.
The hideaway was recently renovated by celebrity home designer Estee Stanley to blend of modern and rustic elements. Stanley, whose celebrity clients have included Patrick Dempsey, Chris Evans and Ellen Pompeo, is known for her chic eclectic interiors.
The home is entered through a deep inset archway with a Juliet balcony above.
