Oscar- and Emmy-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan and his wife, fashion designer Minnie Mortimer, have put their Brentwood home up for sale at $4.995 million. They purchased the property in late 2008 for $4.4 million. Gated and elevated house which was originally built in the 1940s, spreads on 1.15 acre parcel. The 5,267 square feet home, which has been featured in Vogue, features five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, wood-beam ceilings, a flagstone-faced fireplace, a painted wood-paneled den/library, a corner sunroom, a media room and a massive 18-pane picture window with lovely and long views. There’s a balcony off the master suite. The property includes a guest house. The swimming pool and spa are surrounded by brick decking.
New owner will get famous neighbors, just a few doors down the street is Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s home who bought their 8,000 square foot Windsor Smith-conceived manse in mid-2012 for $9,950,000.
