“Nerdist” Star Chris Hardwick Buys A $5.6 Million Eagle Rock Estate


Comic and Nerdist Industries founder Chris Hardwick is in escrow to purchase a 1920s-time Eagle Rock manor, Curbed has learned.

Sharon Hills of Kobeissi Properties, who represented Hardwick in the sale, discloses to Curbed that she tipped Hardwick off to the property, and that he was taken with the house. His purchase of the Bekins estate was persuaded to some degree by the stress that, in light of the fact that the property is so expansive, it could be sold and redeveloped or generally modified.

“He truly bought this property to preserve it,” says Hills, who is also Hardwick’s mother.

The tremendous estate, which dates to 1925, was worked for Martin Bekins, fellow benefactor of the Bekins moving organization, once the biggest organization of its kind on the planet.

The residence holds a significant number of the features one may expect in the home of a prosperous 1920s businessman: shining hardwood floors, leaded glass, extravagantly designed ceilings, crown moldings, and a broad staircase in the passage.

Spread across three acres, the property incorporates a swimming pool, terraced gardens, and a nursery. Laura Brandt of Partner’s Trust had the listing.



Enraptured as he is by the Bekins residence, Hardwick doesn’t plan to live there, says Hills. Rather, a guardian will live in and take care of the property. It’s additionally conceivable that occasions for chronicled organizations may be held there.

Slopes discloses to Curbed that the sale to Hardwick is relied upon to shut toward the beginning of January.

In spite of the fact that the correct sale cost isn’t yet accessible, the house was most as of late recorded for $5.595 million. In the event that it sold for around that sum, the property would effortlessly set another record for Eagle Rock, thumping out a remodeled midcentury house that sold for $2.1 million in October.

Hardwick isn’t the main VIP to be inthe Eagle Rock residence. In October, it was accounted for that Katy Perry had intended to purchase the Bekins estate in the interest of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which would utilize the property to host retreats for Catholic ministers.

The previous host of MTV’s Singled Out appears to feel weak at the knees over wonderful old houses. In 2015, Hardwick and his significant other, Lydia Hearst, purchased a staggering Paul Williams-outlined Spanish Colonial Revival house in Los Feliz’s tony Oaks neighborhood, paying $11 million. At the time, it was Los Feliz’s most costly sale.
