Burbank home expressed TV editor Marco Zappia’s imagination
Marco Zappia, the late Emmy Award-winning film editor, helped shape scores of television shows and one very unusual English Tudor/French Normandy house, which has come on the market in Burbank at $2.199 million.
Embellished with gingerbread details and other whimsical touches, the 7,850-square foot house is entered through leaded glass double doors. Beyond the formal entry lie a quaint parlor, a formal dining room, a great room, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, six fireplaces and an elevator.
The storybook-style breakfast room features a rounded brick fireplace, high ceilings and French doors that open to the patio.
The finished basement includes a separate exterior entrance, a media room, a billiard room, a playroom, gym, a gift-wrapping room, a bar and an office. A secret room is hidden by a retractable bookcase.
An architectural gem in the desert
Zappia, who died last year at 76, was a film editor for series including “Hee Haw,†“All in the Family†and “Home Improvement.â€
He envisioned the home for decades and finally had it built in 1998.
