Hot Property: Stars look to trade green for gold

LOS ANGELES _ Music producer Richard Perry and actress Jane Fonda are readying for a scene change in Beverly Hills, listing their eco-friendly home of five years for sale at $12.999 million.

Tucked behind gates in the Trousdale Estates area, the four-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom house boasts clean lines, open-plan spaces and a glass elevator that services each floor. Beyond the eco-friendly double-glazed windows, motorized shades and bamboo floors, the home's environmental features include photovoltaic electric panels and a solar-heated swimming pool.

Other details include an updated kitchen with bi-folding doors that open to a terrace. An adjoining breakfast area has a fireplace feature built into the window.

Downstairs: a recording studio, a media room and a diner-style wet bar. A wall of gold records pays homage to Perry's scores of hits.

A covered patio, a meditation garden and a viewing area lie within the nearly three-quarter-acre setting. Views extend from the canyon to the ocean.

The contemporary-style home, built in 1961 and completely renovated, was previously owned by Emmy-winning television director John Rich, who died in 2012 at 86. Perry paid $7.3 million for the home that year.

Fonda, 79, won Oscars in 1972 for "Klute" and in 1979 for "Coming Home." She currently appears on the Netflix series "Grace and Frankie."

Perry, 74, has produced albums for such stars as Rod Stewart, Carly Simon and the Pointer Sisters. He and Fonda started dating eight years ago.
