Film exec Alan Ladd Jr. sells his estate in Beverly Hills
Veteran film executive and producer Alan Ladd Jr. has sold his Beverly Hills home for $9.995 million and landed a West Hollywood condo for $1.9 million.
------------
FOR THE RECORD
Nov. 16, 2:27 p.m.: An earlier version of this article’s headline incorrectly stated that Ladd “swapped†the Beverly Hills estate for the West Hollywood condo. His new home is yet another property he owns, a Century City condo.

The English country-style house he sold was built in 1988, but the exterior has a timeless quality. Flower boxes, dormer windows and bowed window muntins add charm.
Inside are formal living and dining rooms, a grand staircase and 5,680 square feet of elegant living space.
The master suite has a fireplace and a private veranda. The two-story house has a total of five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and a powder room.
The separate guesthouse is also two-story with vaulted ceilings and its own garage.
The nearly half-acre grounds feature English ivy, rose bushes, mature trees and a grotto-style swimming pool with a spa.
Ladd, 77, is known for greenlighting George Lucas’ “Star Wars,†among other accomplishments. He was president of Fox before forming his own production company. His other hit films include the Oscar-winning “Chariots of Fire†and “The Right Stuff.â€
Ladd bought the house in 2001 for $4.5 million. Paul Margolis of Coldwell Banker was the listing agent, and independent broker Marianna Wu represented the buyer.

Guy Fedele of Gold Star Realty was the listing agent. Kathy Marshall and Delphine Mann of Coldwell Banker represented Ladd.
