Spanish-style hacienda owned by beloved actress Lansbury, up for sale
By Dolores Quintana
Star of stage and screen Angela Lansbury’s Brentwood mansion is now up for sale as reported by The Dirt.com. The home was built in 1962 in a Spanish Hacienda-style estate with four bedrooms and an equal amount of bathrooms. There is 3,700 square feet of living space and the neighborhood sits within a shaded grove of mature trees.
Lansbury and her husband actor and producer Peter Shaw bought the home for $925,000 in 1985. Those were different times. The couple lived in the house for the rest of their lives, Shaw died in 2003 and Lansbury remained in the home for forty years until she died in 2022. The home is now on the market for $4.5 million and is being sold on the behalf of her estate. This is more of a traditional house, one that prioritized privacy with gates and a high wall. It has terracotta flooring, bounteous amounts of natural light that comes from skylights, French doors, and clerestory windows.
The master bedroom has another skylight and a huge bathroom and the kitchen is practical but comfortable with a fireplace and breakfast nook. The crowning glory of the property is actually outside. The unpretentious mansion sits on almost a half acre of gardens that Lansbury loved to tend. She built a classic English garden in the outdoor area and planted even more trees. There is a gracious patio that surrounds the dark-bottomed swimming pool.
The new neighborhood is filled with mansions that belong to other famous faces like Alexandra Daddario, Jim Carrey and “Cruella” director Craig Gillespie. There is already a lot of interest in the property and the listing agents are Mick Partridge of The Beverly Hills Estates and Maksym Khomin of Coldwell Banker and they have already hosted an open house to show the property to prospective buyers.
