May 02--Oscar-winning composer and music producer Atticus Ross and his wife, composer Claudia Sarne, are looking to drum up interest for their longtime home in Hollywood Hills West. They've put the rustic three-story, which features a pair of recording studios, among other things, up for sale at $1.695 million.
Perched along the hillside in the Kirkwood Bowl area, the home was built in 1987 using materials salvaged from a convent in downtown L.A and later renovated and expanded. Rich cedar beams, wood-paneled walls and an entry lined in Saltillo tile lend a clean, cabin-like feel to the interiors.
An open living room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace flows casually into a dining area topped with market-style pendant lights. Around the corner, an updated kitchen offers a more contemporary look with a subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances.
An office, a loft, a rec room/man cave, three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms also lie within the roughly 3,500 square feet of living space. The master suite has a glass-enclosed steam shower and a fireplace.
Outdoors, an exterior staircase connects balconies extending off each level. Views take in the surrounding canyon and mountains.
Ross, 48, has film credits that include "The Book of Eli" (2010), "Broken City" (2013) and "Gone Girl" (2014). He and musician/producer Trent Reznor won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for the 2010 film "The Social Network."
Sarnes also worked on "The Book of Eli" and "Broken City," as well as the crime thriller "Triple 9" (2016).
The couple bought the house more than a decade ago for $812,500, property records show.
Richard Stearns and Caroline Berkman Lewis of Partners Trust are the listing agents.
