The two-time Oscar winner’s traditional 1950s home embodies grace, casual elegance and impeccable taste

Beverly Hills, CA (March 8, 2019) — Perched on a ridgeline overlooking Coldwater Canyon, this 1950s estate, owned by internationally acclaimed actress Jodie Foster has been supremely updated, offering the ultimate in privacy yet only minutes from the fine dining and world-class culture and shopping of Beverly Hills. The idyllic residence comprises five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, and spans 7,500 square feet.

Having commanded the silver screen since her film debut at age 12 for her role in “Taxi Driver,” a performance which earned her an Academy Award nomination, Jodie Foster went on to win two Oscars for “The Accused” and “Silence of the Lambs.” Her multitude of subsequent acting accolades as well as directing and producing credits earned Ms. Foster the Cecil B. De Mille award in 2013, one of the film industry’s highest honors.

This estate with unrivaled provenance is represented by Hilton & Hyland, the exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in Beverly Hills.

A privacy wall of hedges surrounds the property and a gate opens to reveal an oasis of solitude. Beautifully situated on one of the most coveted view streets in the city, the home is approached by a grassy walkway that leads to the entrance. A lovely first impression, the double-height entry hall is appointed with a traditional and elegant staircase, generous windows on the second level allowing natural light to cascade in, and a chandelier notable for the artistic cluster of light bulbs of varying sizes. The dark hardwood floors, white walls grey front door make for a pleasing color palette.

The light-flooded living room, warmed by an oversized fireplace, includes three oversized double French doors, which open to a trellis-shaded brick terrace, welcoming the outside in. The flowing floor plan also sweeps into a formal dining room and a media viewing room.

The country kitchen is a chef’s delight, reflecting the same dark wood floor, white walls grey color scheme. The kitchen is also notable for its vaulted ceiling and appliances. A pair of large glass doors to this section of the brick terrace, which includes a grilling area, and dining and seating nooks around the outdoor fireplace—perfectly oriented to take in the sunset views over the canyon. A sparkling pool is surrounded by an expansive deck with dedicated areas for sunning and dining, plus another patio shaded by a leafy trellis.

The second-floor master suite is a serene retreat with its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, another fireplace and a private deck, also accessible from the master bath, with views that span across the Beverly Hills skyline all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
