It's not too often that filmmakers' homes double as their sets, but such is the case with Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes, who bought their Hollywood Hills home in 1963, and shot Faces, Opening Night, and Love Streams in the 1940-build.
Now, the sprawling property is on the market for the first time since the couple purchased it over 60 years ago, for $4.995 million. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 4,305 square feet of space, and abundant Hollywood Regency details.
From a hand-painted bathroom mural to stunning wall colors, this home is a sight to behold, whether you're a film buff or an interior design enthusiast. Let's take a closer look inside.
We can immediately tell whose home we are in upon entering the sitting area, where film posters cover the wood-panelled walls. High ceilings, Regency-era accent chairs, and a wood piano give the space a luxe yet relaxed feel.
The fireplace is a subtle arch, nestled among a mantel-turned abstract shelving unit, perfect for displaying flowers and ceramics.
Meanwhile, the kitchen features black-and-white tiled floors, which lean retro, while a Tiffany-style, stained glass pendant adds some elegant texture to the room.
This home is clearly ahead of its time, with a Mocha Mousse-esque paint color covering the dining area's walls. Prints also line the space above the door, making excellent use of dead space and giving an interesting spin on the ever-popular gallery wall.
Once again, a color trend emerges in one of the bedrooms, which features butter yellow walls, another glass pendant, and patterned pillows adorning the bed.
Another bedroom takes on a deeper mustard tone, while an antler chandelier adds some volume to the area.
The bathroom is clearly one of the high points of the home, with its bright pink walls, illustrated mural, and Old Hollywood-style vanity featuring bulb lights, a gold-framed mirror, and a compact sink.
The most adventurous of all Farrow & Ball's pinks, Rangwali is incredibly friendly and takes its name from the powder that is thrown so enthusiastically during the Holi festival of colors in India.
The perfect, pared-back base for any flowers. This crystal vase is hand-blown and made from thick glass that's ready to create the perfect table centerpiece.
Finished with a mere 20 coats of high gloss lacquer, this hand-polished tray by Addison Ross is a cult buy. Add a pop of pink with this playful wavy tray.
Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes' former home is listed with Kate Blackwood and Kristal Moffett at Compass.
