Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Vintage 1940s Ranch House Lists For $3.85M
Perched high in the Franklin Hills between Los Feliz and Silver Lake, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's vintage, well-maintained ranch-style home recently hit the market. Arthur Hawes originally designed the home, and "high society" architect Paul Williams remodeled it in 1949 with "hints of his signature Hollywood Regency style." As reported by Variety, Gordon-Levitt purchased the property in early 2015 for $3,250,000, and now he's letting it go for $3,850,000.
