From the L.A. Times

The onetime Santa Monica home of screenwriter Larry Levin as well as a Bel-Air estate with two swimming pools were among the top residential real estate sales in the greater Los Angeles area last week.

$18.5 million – Bel-Air

Beauty or a beast?

A European Villa-inspired estate in the 11000 block of Bellagio Road was sold for $18.5 million, down $495,000 from the 2014 asking price, but up from the previous sale price of $2.9 million in 1999.

Accessed by a winding drive, the 1.67-acre property is highlighted by a five-bedroom main house, a five-bedroom guest/pool house, two swimming pools, a grotto-style spa, a racquetball court and a gym.
