Writer-producer duo Terence and Rachel Winter are shopping around their most personal project yet \u2014 a $15.99 million estate in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Located in Encino\u2019s prestigious Royal Oaks neighborhood, the four-bedroom home\u2019s historic ties range from the Playboy Mansion to \u201cThe Golden Girls.\u201d <\/p>\n

The couple came across the $5.59 million estate on Woodvale Road in 2017, just as Terence was wrapping up \u201cBoardwalk Empire\u201d in New York. The secluded 2.6-acre lot had always caught Rachel\u2019s eye, and a fateful call from broker Denise Snanoudj of the Agency sealed the deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe calls and goes, \u2018There\u2019s a house for sale on Woodvale,\u2019 and I swear the hair on the back of my neck stood up,\u201d Rachel told The Post. \u201cI just knew it was this house. I think poor Terry didn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Snanoudj, alongside Coldwell Banker Realty Agents Jade Mills and Alicia LaMontagna, are taking the home on its third market lap since 2024. <\/p>\n

The Royal Oaks property was originally designed by Playboy Mansion architect Arthur R. Kelly in the 1950s. \u201cGolden Girls\u201d actress Rue McClanahan numbers among its prior owners.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you get past those gates, you\u2019re in another world. And for me, that was just exactly what I wanted,\u201d Terry added. \u201cI knew Rachel would do her magic with the actual house.\u201d<\/p>\n
That \u201cmagic\u201d included four years worth of studs-out renovations. <\/p>\n
The formerly 5,500-square-foot house and its foundation had deteriorated since McClanahan\u2019s tenure. Architect Linda Brettler and a host of skilled contractors were tapped for Rachel\u2019s ambitious rebuild. <\/p>\n
The effort more than doubled the footprint of the main residence and honed in on a one-of-a-kind architectural style, dubbed \u201cAsian prairie,\u201d inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Valley\u2019s stock of 1940s prairie homes.<\/p>\n

Rachel commissioned custom windows inspired by artist Piet Mondrian\u2019s signature geometric style, defined by bold horizontal and vertical black lines. Bathrooms were outfitted with carefully sourced tiles, including a last-of-its-kind graffiti-inspired tile that required \u201ca full treasure hunt,\u201d on Rachel\u2019s part to source the last remaining boxes in Spain.<\/p>\n
The couple divided up their oversized primary suite with Moroccan-inspired archways crafted from a combination of steel and wood \u2014 the same oak wood used to line the ceiling of their well-loved home theater.<\/p>\n
While the pandemic slowed the project and hiked the budget, the family was able to move in in 2021.<\/p>\n
Every corner of the home was carefully curated with artwork, vintage furniture and family heirlooms. The couple added a sunroom to overlook their backyard \u2014 a lush space now occupied by an exterior studio and a coral pink, poolside cabana where Terence takes his morning coffee.<\/p>\n

Mills told The Post that the size of the lot and its seclusion is a rare find in Encino.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is something that doesn\u2019t come across your lap every day,\u201d Mills said.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s tenure in the home saw creative projects like Terence\u2019s Paramount project \u201cTulsa King,\u201d and the 2023 sports drama \u201cShooting Stars,\u201d co-produced by the couple, come to fruition.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, their children grew up faster than expected.<\/p>\n
The empty-nesters are parting with the home to move to New York. Noel Kleinman<\/p>\n
Terence and Rachel became empty nesters ahead of schedule when their daughter was accepted into a performing arts boarding school across the country. With one child in Michigan and the other in Florida, the couple found themselves spending an increasing amount of time on the East Coast.<\/p>\n
They currently rent an apartment on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side, and plan to move to the city full-time once they secure a buyer for Woodvale Road. <\/p>\n
The newest price reduction from $16.99 million to $15.99 million might do the trick. LaMontagna called pricing such a unique home \u201cmore of an art than a science.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this point, we\u2019ve tried a higher number, and we\u2019ve arrived at this place where we feel like is really the sweet spot,\u201d LaMontagna said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just feels like a family or people who can spend all their time here should be living here,\u201d Rachel said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a really emotional decision. It\u2019s very bittersweet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Writer-producer duo Terence and Rachel Winter are shopping around their most personal project yet \u2014 a $15.99 million…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,9713,1522,12680,968,53124],"class_list":["post-437905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-hollywood","tag-los-angeles","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
