Producer John Goldwyn and hotelier Jeffrey Klein sell pedigreed Hollywood Hills home

"The restored house, built in 1951, was once part of a compound owned by early filmmaker George Cukor. He directed the 1940 version of "The Philadelphia Story" starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart as well as the 1964 "My Fair Lady" musical film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison."

"The design of the residence is a stellar example of architect John Elgin Woolf, known for developing the Hollywood Regency style. Set above the Sunset Strip, the walled home is entered through a gated courtyard. Hedges and mature trees cocoon the house and yard in privacy."

"Fourteen-foot-tall ceilings create a feeling of volume in the living room, where one wall has floor-to-ceiling windows flanking a brick fireplace. An oval screening room features copper crown molding, suede walls and parquet floors. The screen retracts into the ceiling to reveal a wall of windows looking out on the garden."

Film and TV producer John Goldwyn and hotelier Jeffrey Klein sold their Hollywood Hills residence for $5.35 million. The 1951 home was originally part of a compound owned by legendary filmmaker George Cukor, who directed classic films including "The Philadelphia Story" and "My Fair Lady." Designed by architect John Elgin Woolf, a pioneer of the Hollywood Regency style, the 2,760-square-foot residence features fourteen-foot ceilings, a screening room with retractable screen, floor-to-ceiling windows, an Asian-inspired den, and a master bedroom with outdoor shower. The gated property includes three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a swimming pool, and mature landscaping providing privacy above the Sunset Strip. Goldwyn purchased the home in 2005 for $2.815 million.
