Late Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub's Palm Desert House in Beverly Hills is listed on the market with an asking price of $16 million. The 9,152-square-foot home owned by the prolific producer and once occasional actor sits in a gated neighborhood that's concealed behind privet hedges.
The contemporary six-bedroom home and detached guesthouse was designed by architectural designer Guy Dreier. It offers wonderful views of the Santa Rosa mountain range and the Coachella Valley. The Beverly Hills mansion boasts a swimming pool, gardens, and a motor court with parking that can accommodate as many as 25 vehicles, according to Los Angeles Times.
Weintraub's lavish Palm Desert home was renovated about 10 years ago, and it features retractable walls of glass. A charming facet of the home is an "Ocean's Bar," a pub room named by the Weintraub after producing the hit film "Ocean's Eleven." The bar was inspired by London's Art Deco-style Claridge's Bar where it has a hammered tin ceiling and wood paneling, The Wall Street Journal reports. Other highlights of the mansion include a media room, wine cellar, elevator, chef's kitchen, an office, game room and formal dining and living rooms spread in its 7,300 square feet of interior space.
A master suite is designed with a sititng room, a fireplace, fitness room, private study, closets and dual bathrooms, Variety reports. Outside the home, lighted hedge-lined and tree-shaded tennis court, terraced gardens and patios, a pill-shaped swimming pool with sounding "water and fire features" complete the amenities of the luxurious property.
Weintraub, a popular producer who handled tours of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, and his wife Jane Morgan purchased the property in 1974 for $165,000. His career spanned for decades, and he is also recognized for producing the original "The Karate Kid" and its 2010 remake. Weintraub also produced "Ocean's Eleven" and its installment, "Twelve," and "Thirteen."
