American television and film director Gregory King Hoblist's Santa Monica home is up for sale in the market for $ 6.45 million, Los Angeles Times reports.
The English Country inspired two-story house was originally built in the 1930's and its most prominent features include a hip roof, custom wood finishes and built-ins, French doors, and five tiled fireplaces that enhances the warm feel of the space.
At 4,830 square feet, the residence boasts a formal entry, living room, dining room, family room, kitchen with a center island, and a den. There is a soaking tub and separate dressing areas in the master suite which makes up for a total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
For anyone who likes to live close to nature, one third of an acre of the property's ground is beautifully landscaped which also serves ground to a swimming pool with a raised spa which makes relaxation accessible for the homeowner, an outdoor fireplace for the cold wintry days, a dining area set under a vine-wrapped pergola for intimate dinners with friends and family. Surrounded by mature trees, the mansion gives off that vacation at home vibe.
Above the mansion's garage are a balcony and another office which has its own fireplace.
In 1988, the property was reportedly sold for $1.55 million which makes its current price cost five times more.
Barbara Boyle of Sotheby's International Realty and Elizabeth Puro of Teles Properties are the co-listing agents.
Also a television producer, Hoblit has won nine Primetime Emmy Awards as director and producer of Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, L.A. Law, Hooperman, and the television film Roe vs. Wade. Some of the films in his portfolio include "Primal Fear" (1996), "Frequency" (2000) and "Hart's War" (2002). Hoblit was born in Abilene Texas and son to Elizabeth Hubbard King and Harold Foster Hoblit. He is married to actress Debrah Farentino and they have one child together.
