Screenwriter Alvin Sargent sells Santa Monica home for $11.1 million
Screenwriter Alvin Sargent has sold the Santa Monica home he shared with his late wife, film producer Laura Ziskin, for $11.1 million.
The gated Monterey Colonial, built in 1942, includes four bedrooms and 51/2 bathrooms. A honeycomb onyx fireplace creates a focal point of the living room. In the powder room, a smoky beveled mirror provides a backdrop for a sink made out of a single piece of wood. A hammered brass tub sits in the master bathroom.
A teak-slat walkway leads from the house to the swimming pool on the nearly half-acre site.
Sargent, 85, won Oscars for “Julia†(1977) and “Ordinary People†(1980). He worked on the screenplays for “Spider-Man 2†(2004), “Spider-Man 3†(2007) and this summer’s “The Amazing Spider-Man.â€
Ziskin, who died last year at 61, produced “Pretty Woman†(1990), “As Good as It Gets†(1997) and the “Spider-Man†films.
The property came on the market in April at $11.85 million.
Elisabeth Halsted of Prudential California Realty in Brentwood was the listing agent. Noelle McCutchen of Gibson International represented the buyer.
