Lear had owned the home since 1972 and had initially listed the house for $6.5 million. As per LA Times, the deal was ultimately closed for $4.75 million. The Brentwood place has been described as a New England-style home with six bedrooms, six baths, two staff quarters, spread across 10,000 square feet. The house itself sits on a plot of land a little less than an acre.
According to the publication, it had a swimming pool, a pool pavilion, and gardens. A tennis court on a lot across the street was also reportedly a part of the sale. The house was built in 1936 and was first owned by Henry Fonda who sold it to Paul Henreid, the actor.
During the time Lear had the house, a screening room and a guest suite had been added.
Reiner is among the most notable directors in Hollywood with classics like When Harry Met Sally, Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, and Misery to his name.
