Makeup Maven Lists Glamorous Hollywood Hills Home for $9M


If we solely judged by previous owners, this lavish mansion in the Hollywood Hills would be certified glamorous with a capital G.

Entertainment icons Christina Aguilera and Liza Minnelli have lived, loved, and paid the mortgage here.

Now, buyers with serious style can add it to their haute collection of homes.

Current owner Carsten Fischer, Beautyblender president and former top Shiseido executive, is asking $8,990,000 for the place.

The glamourous life

One glance at the listing photos for the 6,500-square-foot mansion will show you why glamorous folks go gaga over it. Built in 1960 by modernist architect Harry Gesner, the midcentury masterpiece has been restored and renovated.

However, one of the property’s finest features is timeless and impossible to duplicate. The four-bedroom home sits on a hillside at the end of a cul-de-sac overlooking the Sunset Strip, with views of the Los Angeles Basin, the Pacific Ocean, and beyond.

Cozy in Hollywood

Five fireplaces within make it a cozy place for curling up. We’re particularly enamored with the brushed-steel fireplace in the octagonal, sunken living room with built-in seating.

You’ll find two additional fireplaces in the luxe 1,200-square-foot primary suite. The suite features a massive walk-in closet/dressing room. The all-marble bath comes with a built-in aquarium.

Fireplace No. 4 keeps one of the guest suites nice and toasty. No. 5 can be found outside, delivering extra ambiance to those luxuriating in the 12-person spa.

The home is primarily constructed of stucco, stacked stone, marble, wood, and glass. Twelve-foot windows and skylights illuminate the wood ceilings, exposed beams, and walnut floors.

In 2011, Fischer paid Aguilera $4,654,000 for the place. It had been listed for as much as $5,995,000. Aguilera had also listed it for rent at $29,000 per month.

Gesner, 97, designed a number of iconic homes throughout Southern California, including the Malibu Wave House,  Tarzana’s Triangle House, the curious Hollywood Hills boat houses, and Malibu’s famous Raven’s Eye.
