Share via

Director-producer-screenwriter Frank Darabont listed a house for sale in Los Feliz at $3.6 million and a day later it was in escrow.

The Spanish home, built in 1927, draws from early California and Monterey styles. Mahogany doors and windows, custom ironwork, hand-cut beams and arched ceilings are among details.

Living areas include a formal entry, dining and living rooms, an office, a wine tasting room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The detached guesthouse has been repurposed as a screening room.

Famed actress and dancer Ginger Rogers, who paired with Fred Astaire in numerous films, is among the previous owners.

Darabont, 56, directed the Oscar-nominated films “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994) and “The Green Mile” (1999). He was an executive producer during the 2010-12 seasons of the series “The Walking Dead,” which he also created.

The property previously changed hands in 1992 for $715,000, public records show.

Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty is the listing agent.
