Brian Henson – puppeteer, director, producer and son of famous “Muppets†creator Jim Henson – is looking to add another title: owner. His Spanish Colonial Revival style villa is for rent in the Hollywood Hills for $ 20,000 per month.
Henson has a fondness for Spanish-style spots; in 2003 he sold a slightly smaller but similar place a few miles away in Los Feliz with a history of star owners including Olivia Wilde, Natalie Portman and Joe Jonas.
This home, perched on a 1 acre promontory, was built in 1929 and mixes period details with modern amenities over 5,300 square feet. Interior spaces include a rotunda entrance with exposed beams, a wood-paneled desk, and a formal living room with a wet bar and fireplace.
Malibu tiles grace the formal dining room and center island kitchen, which opens to a courtyard with string lights, Saltillo tiles, and a fountain. Elsewhere, four bedrooms and six bathrooms, including a guest suite with a living room accessed by a circular staircase.
Patios and lawns with city views lead down to a hillside pool nestled to the edge of the property.
David Findley of the Agency holds the list.
As a puppeteer, Henson’s credits include “Return to Oz”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “The Witches”. The 56-year-old also directed the films “The Muppet Christmas Carol” and “Muppet Treasure Island” in the 1990s and is currently president of Jim Henson Co.
