Cutting a new reel in Bel-Air
James Robinson, chairman and chief executive of Morgan Creek Productions, has listed his estate on an acre in Bel-Air for sale at $23.95 million.
The Colonial Revival-style house, built in 1935, has a symmetrical, wide front and a two-story portico supported by four broad pillars.
Sets of black shutters create visual contrast against the whitepainted facade.
Inside, grand living spaces recall an era of entertaining and luxury. Parquet and tile floors, crown molding and wainscoting are among the appointments.
The family room centers on a speakeasy-style bar. There are five bedrooms, six bathrooms and four fireplaces in all.
A swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and brick patio with a fountain sit at the rear of the property.
Also within the grounds are a three-bedroom guesthouse and a detached three-car garage.
The property last changed hands in 1993 for $2.5 million, property records show. Stanley Richman of Compass holds the listing.
Robinson co-founded Morgan Creek Productions in 1988 with former 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Studios Chairman Joe Roth.
The film studio has released such box-office hits as “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991), “The Last of the Mohicans” (1992) and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” (1994).
More recently, Morgan Creek Productions co-produced the film “All Eyez on Me,” the biographical film about rapper Tupac Shakur.
