Ellen DeGeneres

The single-level, mid-century modern residence encompasses 4614 square feet in Hidden Valley Estates, a guard-gated community of just 33 homes located in the Beverly Hills Post Office area. It was built by renowned architect Robert Skinner and was restored by architect John Bertram.
