Director Duncan Jones sets sights on Hollywood Hills home sale
After scooping up a scenic Sherman Oaks estate last year, director Duncan Jones is ready to wrap in the Hollywood Hills. His rustic retreat of five years is on the market for $1.745 million.
It’s a lot smaller than his new home, packing 2,062 square feet into a small lot while Duncan’s new house spans 5,800 square feet on three-fourths of an acre. The Hollywood Hills abode makes the most of its space, however, as the tree-covered grounds lead to tiered terraces out back with a swimming pool and spa.
Built in 1935, the house itself offers a farmhouse vibe across two stories. Dramatic vaulted ceilings top the expansive living/dining room, and the main level also holds a center-island kitchen with slate tile floors.
Two of the three bedrooms are master suites, and both include custom bathrooms and walk-in closets lined with cedar. The upper-level suite opens to a balcony with treetop views.
Jones, 47, is the son of singer-songwriter David Bowie and model-actress Angela Bowie. He won the BAFTA award for outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer for his 2009 film, “Moon,†which remains his most celebrated work. His more recent credits include “Source Code,†“Warcraft†and the 2018 Netflix film “Mute.â€
He bought the home for $1.519 million in 2014, records show.
Craig Strong of Compass holds the listing.
