Screen legend Audrey Hepburn lived in this ‘crown jewel’ CA estate. It’s for sale

For the first time in over three decades, an elegant house that’s considered a “crown jewel” has landed on the real estate market in Los Angeles, California.

And it’s one that’s rich in Hollywood history.

Listed for $10.895 million in Brentwood and surrounded by rose gardens, a 6,099-square-foot property that was once the home of two extremely famous starlets from Tinsel Town’s heyday stands in all its glamour with its East Coast charm.

“Presenting a once-in-a-generation offering: the former residence of screen legends Deborah Kerr and Audrey Hepburn,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty says.

“685 Elkins Road is steeped in classic Hollywood history and timeless elegance. Tucked behind a private gate in one of Brentwood’s most prestigious neighborhoods and nestled beside Brentwood Park, this stunning traditional-style home is the crown jewel of Elkins Road.”

The home was actually once owned by Scottish icon Kerr, who starred in classic movies like “The King and I” and “From Here to Eternity,” and rented to Hepburn (who can be seen sitting in the house’s yard with Mel Ferrer,) a news release says.

Hepburn, of course, is one of Hollywood’s most legendary faces whose brilliance shines in “Roman Holiday,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Wait Until Dark.”
