Environmental activist, author and producer Laurie David has listed her four-bedroom, five-bath home in Pacific Palisades for sale for $8,975,000, according to a report by Realtor.com.
The half-acre lot was purchased in 2011 for $2 million, before Los Angeles-based firm Johnston Marklee designed and custom built the home—“Porch House,” dubbed an “architectural masterpiece”—in 2013.
Located on one of the Palisades’ “most desirable streets” in The Riviera, the gated and private estate provides 180-degree mountain views from every room.
“The pairing of concrete with floor-to-ceiling glass pocket sliding doors strikes the perfect balance between mass and volume,” according to a description of the property.
The entry level of the home boasts high, two-story ceilings in the living room, kitchen, dining area and den.
“The mezzanine is a collaboration of curves and straight lines punctuated by a balcony office, cozy library and en-suite guest bedroom,” according to the listing.
The lower level is accessible by stairwells on each end of the house. Standout features of the primary suite include a dual walk-in closet, an indoor-outdoor bathroom and patio with ocean views.
There are two additional en-suite guestrooms, and a laundry room with additional storage space.
Outside, the property boasts “lush and serene” grounds, complete with a planted meadow of drought-tolerant landscaping, and lemon and lime trees.
“Porch House is truly a celebration of structural harmony and vertical indoor-outdoor living,” the listing concluded.
Laurie produced the Academy Award-winning film “An Inconvenient Truth.” She currently serves as a trustee on the Natural Resources Defense Council and is a member of the advisory board of the Children’s Nature Institute.
Laurie was previously married to actor Larry David, comedy writer and actor, creator, and star of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The couple divorced in 2007 after 14 years.
