Scott Mitchell Lists $125M Hollywood Hills Mansion With Record-Breaking Features

A historic Pasadena mansion, the Fényes Mansion, will open its doors for a Film History Tour highlighting its role as a filming location during early Hollywood, including works directed by D.W. Griffith in 1912. Meanwhile, in the Hollywood Hills, architect Scott Mitchell has listed a massive 22,000-square-foot spec mansion for $125 million, potentially setting a neighborhood record; this luxury home features seven bedrooms, extensive amenities including a subterranean motor court, multiple bars, a gym, and an expansive outdoor deck, with construction emphasizing safety and comfort. Mitchell, known for designing homes for ultra-wealthy clients like Tom Brady and Marc Andreessen, spent a decade creating this fortress-like residence with three-foot-thick walls and deep foundations. Additionally, a historic one-bedroom condo in Koreatown’s French Chateau Apartments, a designated Historic-Cultural Monument, is on the market for $745,000, offering a blend of 1930s architectural artistry and modern updates, along with tax benefits due to its heritage status. These real estate offerings represent a spectrum from preserving cultural history to showcasing modern luxury in Los Angeles. The luxury mansion’s sale comes amid challenges in LA’s high-end market, including new mansion taxes and insurance issues related to wildfires.
