The 6,000-square-foot Georgian-style residence, built in 1939, was rented by Hepburn from fellow actress Deborah Kerr, who owned the property during the 1950s.
Hepburn lived there around 1957 with her then-husband Mel Ferrer, as documented by photographer Sid Avery according to Mansion Global.
The property has a rich Hollywood lineage beyond Hepburn and Kerr.
Before Kerr’s ownership, the home belonged to director and producer Edwin Knopf, brother of renowned publisher Alfred A. Knopf Sr.
Jennifer Montague of Sotheby’s International Realty, listed the property alongside colleagues Graham Larson and Spencer Burmester.
The current owners have maintained the property’s original character while making strategic improvements over the years.
These renovations included creating a primary suite with separate bathrooms and walk-in closets, as well as modernizing the kitchen and laundry areas.
Set on a 0.72-acre lot, the property features five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms.
The grounds are adorned with high hedges and rose gardens, with winding trails leading to the street below.
One of the home’s most distinctive features is its Southern-style covered lanai at the front, which serves as a spacious outdoor gathering area complete with a fireplace and built-in ceiling heaters.
Adjacent to this area is a putting green, while a balcony runs along the entire length of the home’s facade above the lanai.
Inside, the residence boasts a wood-panelled library with a fireplace and what Montague describes as a “Palm Beach-esque conservatory” featuring green-and-white checkered floors, a built-in bar, and French doors opening to a balcony.
The backyard includes a swimming pool, with steps leading down to a tree-lined area that enhances the estate’s private, secluded atmosphere.
The property’s thoughtful landscaping and architectural details reflect the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age when stars like Hepburn and Kerr were at the height of their fame.
This marks the first time in 34 years that the property has been available for purchase, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history that once housed one of cinema’s most beloved icons.
