Helen Mirren and her husband Taylor Hackford have re-listed their exquisite and historic Hollywood home for $17 million, over a year after first putting it on the market for $18.5M.

Nestled against a hillside, the couple have called the the residence home for over 30 years and in 2021 attempted to sell the property while simultaneously listing it as a rental for $45,000 a month.

Shortly after putting the property on the market, a deal on the home went into contract but ultimately nothing came of it, Architectural Digest reported, citing public records.

Now, prospective buyers will have a second chance at calling the stunning estate home – and for a million dollars less than what it was first listed at. 

Located within six-and-a-half acres of sophisticated landscaping and mature trees and situated at the top of a winding drive, the 10,200 sq ft estate includes a guest house and a total of eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

Built in 1911, the house has beautiful finishes from the era, including large rooms, French doors opening onto the Hollywood hills, a paneled library, hardwood floors and large fireboxes in the fireplaces.

A particularly special room is the cozy bar, complete with stylish bar stools and a comfortable sofa and chairs for an intimate evening of lavish entertaining. 

The large formal rooms and outside living area, featuring strings of festoon lighting, are ideal for large groups and family get togethers, with relaxed indoor-outdoor architecture taking full advantage of the sunny California weather.

Outside, the gated, manicured grounds feature a large swimming pool with a diving board and envy-inducing views of downtown Los Angeles, combining tranquility, privacy and convenience.

The separate guest house offers three bedrooms and there’s also a garage with capacity for five cars, with an office and an apartment above.

It’s easy to see why The Queen actress, 77, and her American director husband, 78, have stayed put in the sprawling home for so long, which they are now leaving due to increasing amount of time they have been spending out of California.

Stephen Apelian of Coldwell Banker Realty said the couple have decided to sell the home ‘because they are spending more and more time outside the state,’ according to Mansion Global. 

The star couple snatched up the standout pad in the 1990s, becoming the latest in a stream of big names to live there.

Former owners include Dustin Farnum, star of DeMille’s Squaw Man, writer and producer Mark Hellinger, and Gail Patrick, executive producer of the popular 1950’s/60’s Perry Mason television series where the home was sometimes used as a film location for the show.

Mirren won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the film The Queen, acting the part of Queen Elizabeth II. Taylor also won an Academy Award for the short film Teenage Father and directed An Officer and Gentleman and Against All Odds.

In 2003, Mirren was appointed Dame for her acting career that dates back to when she starred as Cleopatra in a UK National Youth Theatre production aged 20.

She became an American citizen in 2017 and voted for the first time in the 2020 election.
