Los Angeles Home For Sale With Recording Studio Built By Harrison Ford

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Agent Reputation

Today I came across an article at The Daily Mail in the UK titled, "It's a temple of rooms! Luxurious Los Angeles mansion with recording studio built by Harrison Ford goes on the market for $8.9million".

This 12,000+ square foot luxury home is located at 4849 Encino Ave, Encino, CA 91316. The home was once owned by Dick Van Dyke and Sergio Mendez. The article caught my eye because I am a huge Star Wars geek and saw that Harrison Ford had built a recording studio in this house for Sergio Mendez in the early 70's before he starred as Han Solo at the beginning of the Star Wars franchise.

The 12,015 square feet mansion comes with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as a guest house. Amenities include a spa, wine cellar with a tasting room and a theatre and bar.

Not bad home for two famous entertainers who lived there.

Price is steep consider it traded hands for just 1 mil. But there are probably plenty of update for this 1999 home since.

I had forgotten that Harrison Ford was a carpinter before becoming a star! Sounds like someone will get an interesting home!  I wonder if the wine cellar is full?

CJ funny part is the precept ion is  that the San Fernando Valley is not as hip cool and trendy as the West Side of Los Angeles so you can imagine if he had the same house on the other side of the Mountain what it would go for:)) Endre

It is true, yet Encino(S) is a very posh area:) A lot of huge mentions. This one is just very special, but it is not the most expensive house in here:)
