Loretta Swit’s onetime hideaway is restored and ready for duty
A hideaway that was once home to Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Swit is for sale in Hollywood Hills West for $4.895 million.
Set behind an ivy-covered brick wall, Hue De Olive was built in 1941 and recently restored. A double-door gate opens to scallop-shaped brick steps that lead down to the enchanting French-influenced maison.
The nearly 4,000 square feet of interiors include a living room with beamed ceiling and a fireplace, a wainscoting-lined dining room, a library, a den, a study, a gym, three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Blue cabinetry and a sunny breakfast nook add to the French country vibe.
Multiple patios and a cabana extend the living space outdoors. A waterfall, mature plants and trees surround the swimming pool and spa.
Swit, 81, is known for her long-running role as Maj. Margaret “Hot Lips†Houlihan on the 1970s-’80s sitcom “MASH.â€
She sold the property in 1987 for $840,000 to film director and producer Alan Parker, public records show. His scores of credits include “Evita†(1996), “Mississippi Burning†(1988) and “Midnight Express†(1978). He sold the home in 2016 for $2.497 million.
Sharona Alperin of Sotheby’s International Realty is the listing agent.
