A Spanish Colonial-style mansion tucked in the hills of Los Feliz just hit the market for $21.5 million. If it gets its price, it would be among the neighborhood’s priciest sales ever.
It’s owned by Lydia Hearst, great-granddaughter of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, and her husband, actor-comedian Chris Hardwick.
Sales north of $20 million are typically reserved for the tony enclaves west of the 101 Freeway — Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood — but there’s a precedent for blockbuster deals in Los Feliz. Hearst and Hardwick set the neighborhood price record when they bought the home a decade ago for $11 million, and that record has been topped by several sales, including ones involving Angelina Jolie, who bought the famed DeMille estate for $24.5 million in 2017, and Brad Pitt, who sold his Craftsman compound two years ago for $39 million.
Named the Victor Rossetti Residence after the banker it was built for in the 1920s, the house was designed by Paul R. Williams, the prolific, trailblazing architect whose architectural imprint can be seen across Southern California, including the Beverly Hills Hotel and the futuristic Theme Building at LAX.
Designed by Paul R. Williams, the main house features ornate ironwork, stained-glass windows and colorful tile.

Here, Williams deployed coffered ceilings, ornamental ironwork, stained-glass windows and colorful tile across two stories and nearly 9,000 square feet. In addition to 10 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms, there’s a wood-paneled library, wine cellar, pub and hidden bookshelf door that leads to the lower level.
Outside, the one-acre grounds boast a garden, koi pond, citrus grove, swimming pool, pool house and guesthouse.
Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty holds the listing.
Over the years, the Hearst clan has laid claim to some of California’s most impressive estates. In addition to the Hearst Castle, William Randolph Hearst’s grand showplace in San Simeon, the publisher also owned a Beverly Hills mansion known as the Hearst Estate, as well as a 100-room compound on the sand in Santa Monica, which is now known as the Annenberg Community Beach House.
Authorities are investigating the death of a 68-year-old Bergen County man who was pulled from a swimming pool on Saturday evening.
Mahwah police responded to a Bedford Road residence shortly before 6 p.m. for a report of a possible drowning, the department said.
The man, who lived at the residence, was found by a family member, police said. Officers removed him from the pool and performed CPR.
A medical helicopter was requested but canceled and emergency responders drove him to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Officials are trying to determine if the man drowned or suffered a medical emergency and fell into the pool, according to police.
His identity is being withheld pending family notification, police said.

Construction of a new high-rise addition to the Hilton hotel in Universal City was approved by the Los Angeles Planning Commission, clearing a major hurdle for the long-planned expansion.
The decision comes as Universal Studios and other popular tourist destinations in the region shine for hoteliers even as other properties in California’s urban centers struggle to fill their rooms.
The commission recommended last week that the City Council approve construction of an 18-story addition to the 24-story Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City hotel, which opened in 1984. The addition would have 395 rooms, bringing the total between the two structures to 890 rooms, putting that Hilton among the ranks of the largest hotels in Los Angeles County.
Hotels near popular leisure destinations such as Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood are outperforming California hotels that are intended to serve business travelers and meetings, said hotel consultant Alan Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group.
“Big full-service hotels have been really impacted by the work-from-home movement and the pullback of the convention and meeting business,” Reay said.
Universal City is “a little island that is doing phenomenally well,” he said, with average occupancy at the Hilton there at 92% last year.
“I don’t know any other hotels that are running that kind of occupancy” at a similar price point, he said. “That really tells you the strength of the location and the strength of the brand.
“It makes sense to add the rooms,” said Reay, who is not involved in the planned development.
The addition would include, three restaurants, two swimming pools and an expansion of the existing three-level parking garage.

The expansion is proposed by Sun Hill Properties Inc., which owns the Universal City hotel operated by Hilton.
Sun Hill President Mark Davis said the company is “immensely gratified” to have the Planning Commission’s endorsement.
“We still believe in the future of L.A. and the continued growth of our primary demand driver, Universal Studios Theme Park, the key magnet to attract tourism to the City of Angels,” he said in a statement.
If approved by the City Council, construction would take about 30 months, according to city documents recommending development. An expansion of the Hilton was first proposed in 2017 by a previous owner of the property, who estimated at the time that more than 70% of guests were there to visit the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park that features the $500-million Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
The design of the addition by architecture firm Ankrom Moisan also calls for a spa, three restaurants, an indoor-outdoor bar, two swimming pools, a lobby connecting to the existing hotel building and an expansion of the existing three-level parking garage.
The planned expansion, which Sun Hill intends to complete in time to serve the 2028 Olympics, comes as hotel sales are flagging in Los Angeles County and throughout the state amid high interest rates and as smaller-sized deals have been a drag on the market, according to a recent report from Atlas Hospitality.

WESTFIELD, Mass. —
First responders rescued a driver from an SUV that crashed and became partially submerged in a swimming pool in western Massachusetts this week.
The Westfield Regional Dispatch Center said in a statement that it received multiple calls about the crash on Thursday afternoon. Police, fire and EMS units were dispatched.
“Fortunately, the vehicle came to rest in the shallow end of the pool and was not fully submerged,” the statement said.
Firefighters were able to rescue the driver from the Chevrolet SUV. They were taken to a local hospital.
A crane was used to hoist the vehicle out of the water and load it onto a tow truck.
Officials said the pool could not reopen until it was cleaned and inspected.
The Westfield Regional Dispatch Center’s statement did not specify the address of the incident.
The family was swimming in the pool less than a year after putting down a deposit with their pool contractor. However, the process wasn’t all smooth sailing. “Originally, we budgeted $80,000, and they laughed at us,” Rubinoff says. “There are costs you don’t think of, [and] cheaper isn’t always better.”
If you’re interested in getting an inground pool, it’s important to know that there are many things outside of the pool itself that influence the total cost. There are numerous upfront choices to make regarding pool design, shape, size and pool decking, and each affects pricing, which can differ greatly from one contractor to the next. As with most major purchases, it’s best to shop around, do your homework and get detailed written estimates before signing a contract. This guide will help you through the process.
Vinyl, fibreglass or concrete pool: Which is the best option?
Most pool shoppers start by choosing one of the three most common pool materials: vinyl, fibreglass and concrete (also called shotcrete or gunite). Each type has pros and cons in terms of cost, construction and maintenance, which can also vary depending on the frequency of pool use, quality of upkeep, and quality of the pump, filtration and sanitation systems. Here are some average price ranges to help you make that initial decision:
Vinyl-liner pool
Fibreglass pool
Concrete pool
Installation cost
$60,000 to $100,000
$70,000 to $120,000
$100,000 to $250,000
Installation time
A few weeks
One week
A few months
Seasonal maintenance cost
Up to $2,000, including $475 for chemicals
Up to $1,800, including $325 for chemicals
Up to $2,500, including $695 for chemicals
Long-term maintenance costs
• Replace vinyl liner every 8 to 10 years: $4,500 to $6,500
• Repair cracks (as needed): $3,000 • Replace interior gel coating every 20 to 30 years: up to $15,000
• Acid-wash pool every 3 to 5 years: $2,000 • Re-plaster pool surface every 10 to 12 years: $12,000 to $15,000 • Replace pool cleaner parts: $500
• Lower maintenance and lifetime cost (most economical)
• Many shapes, sizes and designs available
Cons
• Higher lifetime cost • Some vinyl pools can’t accommodate salt water • Possible liner punctures or tears (e.g., from pets) • Liner warranties may be prorated • Less resale value
• Higher initial cost • Limited shapes, sizes and designs (no wider than 16′) • Repairs on coloured finishes may not match
• Most expensive to build • Requires more maintenance • Needs more chemicals and pump run time (using more electricity) for sanitation
Building an “outdoor living room” to go with your pool
If you want your pool to be the centrepiece of an outdoor living oasis, you may want extras like fire pits, tables, a cabana, a roof or other covering for your patio area, an outdoor kitchen space or a bar. These items aren’t included in standard pool packages, and their costs can differ greatly among pool contractors.
Pool decking, water features and landscaping
The pool decking is the material that covers the ground around the pool. It’s sometimes referred to as landscaping, along with the trees, flowers or shrubs around your pool area, and it might be as expensive as the pool itself—maybe even more.
Marc Luff, co-owner of Betz Pools in Stouffville, Ont., notes that, on average, his firm charges $30 to $35 per square foot for premium interlocking stones, while imported natural stone can run about $40 to $50 per square foot. Flagstone laid on concrete is about $55 to $65 per square foot, and natural Canadian dimensional stone is $75 to $95 per square foot.
Decking prices vary among pool and landscaping companies, so these prices are only examples of what you might pay. You may be surprised that wood decks are the priciest option. That’s because wood on its own rots quickly from the pool water, and therefore needs poured concrete installed underneath. A wood deck made with cedar or low-end pressure-treated woods will set you back $50 per square foot, while premium woods and premium wood composites will run you $75 to $90 per square foot.
Water features like waterfalls and fountains create a zen atmosphere, but even a small one can add around $5,000 or more to your total cost, depending on the materials you choose.
Southern California’s luxury real estate market never sleeps. But this past year, it collectively caught its breath.
Luxury sales slowed down in 2023 — a combination of soaring interest rates, a newly introduced “mansion tax” and an inevitable drop-off from a pandemic market when megamansions flipped like hotcakes.
In 2022, there were 17 home sales above $50 million and 48 over $30 million in L.A. County, according to the Multiple Listing Service. In 2023, there were only five sales over $50 million and 23 over $30 million.
But even in a down year, there were still plenty of headlines. Jay-Z and Beyoncé set the all-time price record in the state of California, while other celebrities sold homes and left L.A. just in time to avoid paying taxes under Measure ULA.
Here are the top sales of the year.
$200 million
Bought for $200 million, the 40,000-square-foot mansion overlooks the ocean in the affluent enclave of Paradise Cove.
The L-shaped house, which topped the previous record of $177 million, looks more like an airplane hangar or supervillain’s lair than a home. It was built by Tadao Ando, a decorated Japanese architect who also designed a home for Kanye West a few miles down the coast. Ando brought in 7,645 cubic yards of concrete to erect the 40,000-square-foot home.
It never officially hit the market, so photos are scarce. The property is perched above Malibu’s Paradise Cove and features concrete hallways and walls of glass that open to a swimming pool and lawn overlooking the ocean.
$60.85 million
Another power couple — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck — claimed the second-highest home purchase of the year when they shelled out $60.85 million for a five-acre spread in Beverly Crest. High interest rates weren’t a problem; they didn’t need a 30-year-fixed. The pair paid in cash.
The deal marked the end of a year-long house hunt for Lopez and Affleck, and the house boasts an array of amenities that few other mega-mansions can match. Across 38,000 square feet are 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, 15 fireplaces, a movie theater, wine cellar, nail salon and sauna, as well as a 5,000-square-foot sports facility with a boxing ring and pickleball court.
The $60.85-million sale actually came at a discount; the home originally hit the market with a gargantuan price tag of $135 million.
$55 million

Some scratched their heads when Mark Wahlberg unloaded his Beverly Park mega-mansion for $55 million in February. The movie star spent years designing the French-inspired palace, and he originally asked $87.5 million when he first listed it in 2022.
But Wahlberg was a motivated seller. He moved to Nevada last year, and by selling the home in February, he avoided Measure ULA, a transfer tax that took effect April 1 and would’ve charged a 5.5% tax on the sale. At $55 million, Wahlberg’s tax bill would’ve been more than $3 million.
The European-inspired showplace is truly one of a kind, featuring amenities such as a five-hole golf course, driving range, grotto-style swimming pool and skate park. Wahlberg, a native of Massachusetts, also added a Boston Celtics-themed basketball court during his stay.
$52.056 million
Malibu’s second entry on this list comes via attorney Stuart Liner and his wife, Stephanie Hershey Liner, who sold their beach house on Point Dume for just over $52 million.
The Liners have made a fortune flipping houses over the years, including doubling their money on a house they bought from actor Danny DeVito. They scored a hefty profit here as well; records show they paid $21.758 million for the oceanfront home in 2020 before extensively remodeling the place.
The 6,000-square-foot house comes with a swimming pool and tennis court. It sold to Tom van Loben Sels, a partner at Bay Area tax firm Apercen Partners.
$52 million
Built in 1998, Villa Firenze combines three lots across nearly 10 acres and centers on an Italian-inspired mansion.
(Hilton & Hyland)
For years, Villa Firenze was a cautionary tale, an extravagant reminder that while fortunes can be won in Southern California’s lucrative real estate market, you have to be strategic in how you sell to truly cash in.
Hungarian billionaire Steven Udvar-Hazy was not. The airplane mogul built the Italian-inspired mansion in 1998 and listed it for $165 million in 2017, which at the time was one of the most ambitious asking prices in California history.
Clearly overpriced, the house sat on the market for years until it was auctioned off for $51 million in 2021 to biotech entrepreneur Roy Eddleman, who, for some reason, tried the same thing as Udvar-Hazy.
Eddleman quickly attempted to flip the house for a massive profit, putting it back onto the market for $120 million just a year after he bought it. Unsurprisingly, there were no takers, and he died before it sold.
His estate slashed the price on the luxurious villa, which features 40-foot palm trees, 20-foot ceilings and a two-story library complete with a secret passageway that leads to a bedroom and bar.
After a year of price cuts, it finally sold in February for $52 million, just $1 million more than Eddleman paid for it at auction two years prior.
Walk past the street-facing 1990s duplex and beyond a 1920s Sears Roebuck kit bungalow, and an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, rises before you at the end of the property. It’s a slim, two-story rental clad in inexpensive white vertical corrugated metal.
Only then do you realize this single Venice lot has four rental units.
With Southern California in desperate need of housing and state and federal laws constantly evolving to make permitting ADUs easier, the detached home by architects Todd Lynch and Mohamed Sharif of Sharif, Lynch: Architecture feels like a harbinger of what’s to come.
“When the city encouraged us to increase housing, I thought of the Venice property,” said owner Ricki Alon, who had previously worked with the architects and builder Moshon Elgrably on another project. “Given the unique site constraints, I didn’t believe they could do it. I was worried it would be too crowded and negatively affect the small guest house.”
The two-bedroom ADU was built five feet from an existing duplex and four feet from the property line.

Alon was hesitant at first, but after a persuasive Zoom call with the architects, they all agreed that a fourth unit would add value to the bustling community.
“We viewed it as a challenge and a way to transcend ADUs in an SB9 world,” Sharif said, referring to Senate Bill 9, the 2022 state law that allows homeowners to convert their homes into duplexes on a single-family parcel or divide the lot in half to build another duplex for no more than four units.
Alon loved their initial sketches despite her skepticism, and the project moved ahead.
“It’s taught me how to think differently about how things are arranged and how I store things,” Henry Schober III said of his 13-foot-wide rental.

“We decided to go as high as possible,” Sharif said of the eventual design, a slim, two-story ADU built on what was previously a driveway. Slipped into the lot, the 1,200-square-foot ADU, or IDU as the architects like to refer to the infill dwelling unit, was built an inch from the 1920s bungalow, five feet from the duplex and four feet from the property line.
Resting a few feet from a dingbat apartment to the south, the ADU is lifted off the ground to preserve two parking spots in the alley and a swimming pool in front. “Its entire width is dictated by that two-car side-by-side dimension,” said Sharif, who teaches in the undergraduate and graduate design studios at UCLA. Lifting the volume to preserve the pool also created shade and an open space that all residents could share.
“They refused to get rid of it,” Alon said of the water feature. “They insisted on building around it.” Today she admits it was the right decision. “Now, when you walk in, you experience a wonderful, absolutely lovely environment. I’m glad they did not listen to me,” she added with a laugh.

Even though you can’t see the rental from the street, the ADU has enormous curb appeal and a touch of glamour. A Midcentury-style Sputnik pendant light hangs outside the front door, giving it an elegant feel, and the white cladding gives it a distinctive quality from the other rentals, which are clad in orange metal and gray siding.

Up a short flight of stairs, the front door opens to the ground floor and the two-story entry, which features a compact first-floor bedroom, study and en-suite bathroom.
“We wanted every room to have a bathroom to suit roommates,” Sharif said.
Tenant Henry Schober III, a 38-year-old attorney specializing in data privacy, uses the ground floor as his office and a bedroom for out-of-town guests.
“It’s a place that I’m comfortable spending a workday in,” said Schober, who goes to the office once or twice a week. “I don’t feel like I’m trapped in my house.”

Up the stairs to the second floor, the main living area and kitchen measure just 13 feet wide; large windows and operable skylights add light and cross-ventilation throughout the linear floor plan.
“The windows make you feel like you’re in an amazing penthouse in SoHo,” Alon said. “It gives the room a great energy.”
The rest of the second floor houses a powder room, bathroom and bedroom. Because of limited space, there was no room for a formal dining room. However, Schober said that’s easier to maneuver than the limited storage, which has taught him to think differently about how he stores and displays things.
The pool was preserved to create a communal area for all tenants.
(Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times)
“I eat at the long breakfast bar, and when I have people over, I use the common space or the roof deck,” he said.
The home’s two floors feel like three, Lynch said, “because of the way the stairway draws one upward through the IDU and then because of how the roof steps up again.”
The roof deck serves as another outdoor room, further expanding the living space. From the rooftop deck, Schober has panoramic views of Venice, not to mention ample room for a dining table, barbecue and sauna.
After renting an apartment temporarily a few blocks from the beach, Schober was still determining whether he wanted to rent another apartment in Venice.

“It originally turned me off to Venice,” he said. “The price points were so high. It felt like people were paying for the ZIP Code. Landlords were asking five grand for an apartment next to a parking lot.”
But when he saw the two-bedroom ADU, he changed his mind. “When I walked in, I thought, ‘I’m going to live here,’” said Schober, who is originally from Philadelphia and moved to Los Angeles from Switzerland.
“The apartment and the secluded feel changed my attitude,” Schober said. “You get the convenience of Venice and access to all the restaurants and shops, but you’re not in the thick of things. I lived in San Francisco for a decade, Europe for six years. I view the apartment as an oasis in a neighborhood that is not as transformed as others.”
Schober said the strength of the architects’ vision is that the unit is quietly tucked away in a congested neighborhood. “Since you are set back from the street, there is no foot traffic,” he added. “It doesn’t feel like I am living among a bunch of units. There is little street noise, and you would never know you live a stone’s throw from Lincoln Boulevard.”
Stairs lead up to the rooftop deck.
(Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times)
Perhaps most impressive, the ADU defies the notion that you can’t have parking, privacy and quality of living, including a swimming pool, on a tight infill lot with other properties.
In a sense, Schober said, “It seems the solution to the housing crisis is building up.”
“There is a community feeling, and people know each other,” Sharif said. “They sit around the pool, and it’s very intimate and private.”
After a 10-month building process, the team completed the project this spring at a cost of approximately $410 per square foot.
Looking back, Alon is grateful that she moved forward with the project.
“It’s not just a unit that brings value to the property,” she said. “It enhances the entire property for everyone. Adding housing in this condensed community is important, but this team made it something beautiful that people will enjoy. You don’t have to add a huge amount of square footage to add quality of living.”
