Harold "Hal" Levitt is perhaps best remembered for designing homes for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars—from Olivia Newton John and Burt Lancaster to Dean Martin and Debbie Reynolds.
Even today, celebrities flock to his creations—although they’ll need deep pockets to snag the latest Levitt-designed property to hit the market. Known as the Holt House, the Beverly Hills compound is often regarded as one of the architect’s masterpieces—and the current owners are seeking an A-list price of $26 million.
Originally completed by architect Hal Levitt in 1962, the Holt House is sited on a lush lot in Beverly Hills, California. The U-shaped floor plan wraps around a central outdoor area, and the two sides are connected by a bridge-like hallway that spans the pool.

The main entrance opens into an open living and dining area. Throughout the interior, original terrazzo floors complement exposed columns, while expansive sliding glass doors open to the central patio and gardens along the home’s perimeter.

Offering the privacy of a densely planted hilltop site, the single-story structure features large public and private spaces that spill out onto a central poolside patio and the surrounding gardens. Massive sliding glass doors connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, and glazed walls overlook water features placed along the structure’s perimeter.
The formal living area features a large wooden hearth and fireplace.
