Jerry Bruckheimer Asks $11.9M For This Gem Designed by Thornton Abell

Designed by Case Study architect Thornton Abell, the Siskin House in Brentwood, Los Angeles, is an International Style stunner of glass, steel, and concrete.

Built in 1965, this pavilion-like residence sits on three-quarters of an acre of private, meandering grounds. The seven-bedroom, seven-bath estate boasts voluminous, high-ceilinged, glass-enclosed living spaces that are visually connected to a central courtyard. A master suite enjoys its own private wing and garden, and a detached studio or guesthouse—complete with its own bath and cooking facilities—overlooks the luxurious pool.

Owned by Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, this sleek, 9,030-square-foot property has been on the market since 2015. After several price drops, it is now being offered for $11,900,000.
