The 1923 Warner Bros. co‑founder Harry Warner’s former residence at 1005 North Woodland Drive closed the door on buyers for $27.25 million, a figure reached on June 12, 2026, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The estate, designed by pioneering African‑American architect Paul R. Williams, once boasted 12,000 sq ft of Tudor‑French fusion, hand‑carved oak and a guesthouse that reportedly hosted Marilyn Monroe during the 1940s.
In 1996, filmmaker Daphna Ziman and investor Richard Ziman purchased the property and spent three years restoring its Old Hollywood aura, re‑installing hand‑painted tiles, leaded‑glass windows from Italy, and a 16th‑century fireplace from Versailles.
It first entered the market in 2016 at $39.99 million, re‑listed in 2022 at $31.5 million, and lingered on and off the listing board for a decade before finally finding a buyer.
The final sale price, 32% below its first listing, signals a shift in valuation for heritage properties in Beverly Hills and may impact how agents price similar estates in the coming months.
