Michael Feinstein’s Revamped 1930s Home Above L.A.’s Sunset Strip Can Be Yours for $4 Million

It’s been an astonishingly successful journey for Michael Feinstein since he moved from Ohio to Los Angeles in the 1970s at just 20 years old and was introduced to Ira Gershwin, becoming the late and legendary lyricist’s assistant for the next six years and ultimately evolving into a renowned singer, composer, and arranger of his own original music.

Not only have the musician’s recordings earned him five Grammy nominations, but he’s also received Emmy nods for his PBS-TV specials, helmed an NPR series, and headlined concerts across the globe. He’s even made appearances at the White House, Buckingham Palace, the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and the Sydney Opera House.

One of his grandest achievements has been the launch of the Great American Songbook Foundation, which celebrates and preserves the legacy of iconic performers from Ella Fitzgerald to Sammy Davis Jr. and many more via documents, images, and historic artifacts. His work is housed at Indiana’s Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts, where he serves as artistic director.

Word on the street has it that he and his husband Terrence Flannery are now seeking bigger digs in Beverly Hills that can better accommodate their prolific entertaining needs. So, it’s really no surprise that the couple has decided to let go of the more modest-sized L.A. home they picked up in September 2024 for $2.7 million, listing the updated spread high above West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip with Idan Gould of Douglas Elliman for a speck under $4 million.

Nestled on a corner parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure was originally built in 1936. Extensively upgraded and customized during Feinstein and Flannery’s tenure, the modern-minded Spanish Revival abode features four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,600 square feet across two levels accented throughout with rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, and picture windows.

Highlights include a spacious sunken living room boasting a decorative fireplace and a formal dining room flanked by a wet bar-equipped lounge, plus a sleek kitchen furnished with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and top-tier appliances. Up a curving staircase in the double-height foyer is a posh primary suite sporting a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, as well as dual walk-in closets and baths.

A media room, a fitness space, and a laundry center with double washers and dryers can be found elsewhere, while the picturesque grounds host a built-in barbecue surrounded by numerous alfresco lounging and entertaining areas overlooking sweeping city views. There’s also an attached two-car garage.

Per the New York Post, which first reported the listing, the couple still maintain a primary dwelling in Pasadena that’s been featured in film and TV programs such as Glee, along with a New York pied-à-terre on Central Park South, a home in the affluent Indiana city of Carmel, and a 50-acre avocado ranch in the seaside California town of Carpenteria.
