The property, originally listed for $6.99 million in June 2025, slipped through a series of price cuts before closing at $3.827 million. A previous escrow fell through in December, and a later contract in May was also voided, leaving sellers to trim the asking price by nearly $3 million.
Simmons, who bought the house in the 1980s, kept it as a private sanctuary for more than forty years. He died in July 2024, shortly after his 76th birthday, prompting the estate’s long‑awaited sale.

The 0.56‑acre parcel sits above the Sunset Strip, offering panoramic city views and a 5,000‑sq‑ft layout with four bedrooms, an attic gym, and ornate staircase cherubs. Rosten emphasized that the land’s value outweighs the house itself, citing comparable homes that require major renovations.
