Connie Stevens Lists Studio City Compound

Hollywood veteran Connie Stevens, who made her film debut in 1957, is on the move, hoisting her gated compound in L.A.’s popular Studio City neighborhood on the market at just under $3 million.

Over her seven decades in show business, Stevens, now 84, appeared in a multitude of television series and TV movies, popped up on the silver screen in about two dozen films, toured numerous times with the USO, performed in Las Vegas nightclubs and in 1966, trod the boards of Broadway in Neil Simon’s “The Star-Spangled Girl.”

Along the way she married superstar crooner Eddie Fisher, which made her stepmother to showbiz scions Carrie Fisher and Todd Fisher, had a couple of daughters who also went into the business of show (actresses Joely Fisher and Trisha Leigh Fisher), received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 1989, launched the Forever Spring cosmetic skincare line, now rolled into Fisher Stevens Beauty.

For more than 40 years, the bubbly Tinseltown stalwart resided in a Paul Williams-designed mansion in L.A.’s ultra-swanky Holmby Hills neighborhood. (Fun fact, the estate backs up to the lavish mansion where Michael Jackson died in 2009 from acute propofol intoxication.) Stevens sold the estate in 2016 for $17 million — 50 times what she paid in 1974 – and right about the same time plunked down a bit more than $2 million for the Studio City spread.

Obscured behind a tangle of foliage and mature trees, entrance to the property is market by two gated entrances with stately lantern-topped brick pillars. Beyond the vast motor court, the single-level 1940s ranch house sprawls across more than 4,800 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

There’s a red-brick beehive fireplace and a wet bar in the living room along with a separate dining room beneath and exposed wood vaulted ceiling and a spacious family room with a massive stone fireplace. The eat-in kitchen is dated (and likely to be gutted by the next owner) but spacious and sunny with picture windows that look out over the backyard.

Outbuildings include a detached three-car garage with a lofted area above, a two-room cottage that houses a home office and gym, and a one-bedroom and one-bath guesthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and a white-washed brick fireplace. The grounds additionally offer extensive terraces for lounging and sunbathing, great sweeps of lawn, a dining pergola dripping with wisteria, and a swimming pool set against towering palm trees.

The nearly one-acre compound, which abuts the 101 Freeway, is available through “Million Dollar Listing” star Josh Flagg of Douglas Elliman.
