Netflix Content Chief Ted Sarandos Cuts Beverly Hills Asking Price by $500K, Now Seeks $8.4M

Netflix exec Ted Sarandos recently re-listed this large French Tudor-style residence in Beverly Hills. Sarandos—known for greenlighting ‘House of Cards’—is asking $8.85 million for the property; it had been listed at $9.35 million in 2015. Sarandos purchased the home in 2010, for $5.4 million.

The house measures 6,138 square feet, and contains five bedrooms and seven baths. From the first impression gathered from the brick motor court, the house is quietly formal. The design style’s rigidity precedes it, yes, but the home is thoroughly considered, as well.

The interiors hold few surprises, but are expertly executed. Deco-ish sconces flank the living room fireplace, a little gaudy but lending eye appeal. Floors throughout are fairly dark hardwood, lighting is recessed or current mcmansion vogue, and bathrooms and kitchen find their expression in chilly, bland surfaces: slabs of marble, stainless steel, mosaic tile, subway tile. It’s all very understated.

The modern build is bright, and features plentiful glass, including several sets of French doors offering outdoor access. Bedrooms feature private balconies, and the master is a pleasing retreat with its marble fireplace and private terrace. The twin master baths each offer their own unique tonal scheme. All bedrooms are en-suite, including a first-floor guest or staff room.

The property, which comes in at a little less than .4 acre, features a very well-groomed backyard lawn, a brick-bordered pool, and a pair of raised brick patios, the larger covered, the smaller beneath a pergola.

Sarandos has been at Netflix since 2000; he currently serves as the company’s Chief Content Officer. He pioneered the idea of presenting a television series as an extended motion picture—in immediate, full-season availability—as well as the use of algorithmic aggregate predictors for new series development and consumer satisfaction.
