Inside Danny Elfman's $14.6M Mansion With A Giant Ballroom | On The Market | Architectural Digest

- Today AD takes you inside 114 Fremont Place in Los Angeles, the colorfully decorated home of entertainment royalty Danny Elfman and Bridget Fonda. Comprised of back-to-back lots in Los Angeles, the two complimentary mansions were purchased separately by the couple and unified into a single property, now on the market for $14.6 million. The larger of the two underwent a meticulous $3 million renovation, with the other becoming a mid-century modern-styled guest home. Plus, when you have the repertoire Danny Elfman has, it only makes sense to have a primo performance space for entertaining guests - in this case a massive ballroom art gallery on the main floor.

Normal people: decorate rooms
Rich people: curate homes
after seeing >$100 millions homes, 14 millions sounds pretty cheap
That's me after binging watching this channel lol
Same :D
Things I don't understand:
1. Is it "just under one acre" or "over one acre"
2. Does the host know what "grandiose" means
3. If we're trying to sell the property, why are we focusing on personal belongings the owners will likely take with them?
She probably wouldn't mention the furniture if it didn't come furnished
@@twylla5 They're probably not going to be including the guest book or furniture that were gifts.
That house comes with the furniture
@@bruhtofu411 -and the ghosts.
@@Vcxnt_dracxlaV lol
perfect home for some 200 year old vampire
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me!
that's just danny
thats what they were going for i think
Sign me up
if everyones grandparent's house was on steroids and acid
haha nice
Looks haunted and like the set of a horror movie.
Danny Elfman gonna Danny Elfman
Do you know who Elfman is? Lmao
A perfect place for a dead man’s party
He composed the music for The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Kind of lol 😂
Danny Elfman is the person who made me love scores as a kid.
Man, and I don’t even remember caring about music until I was a teenager. Stupid video games.
@@T-rey I didn’t even care for music as a teenager. I discovered Danny’s band in my early 20s.
"tasteful taxidermy" LOLOL she trying her best to spin it
She said Louis XIII when she meant Louis XV
I love it
He took all of his creepiest decorations with him when he moved out.
"TaStEfUl taxidermy" ...Sure, sure
I was looking for this comment. Two words that should never be in one sentence
IKR? Talk about an oxymoron.
It would be cool to attend a party there, but if they want to sell the place for top market value, stage it...or at least lose the dead stuff!
All the taxidermy is absolutely revolting.
gimme
I LOVE this house. I get why people say it's creepy because of all the taxidermy, but it's not for everyone. So much thought was put into this house, it's beautiful.
I agree. It's one of those houses I'd love to visit and has so much character, but I wouldn't personally buy or choose to decorate as such.
I mean guys, the owner of this home is the composer of the movie Beetlejuice. I'm pretty sure he likes the lowkey creepy
and also Nightmare Before Christmas
@@dominicluigimalazarte3746 and also Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure
And Little Girls
Good point imagine what Tim Burton house looks like
and 1989's Batman!
How do you do a tour of Danny Elfman's house and not play his music in the background?
During the day it just looks quirky, but I would NOT want to walk through there at night O.o
That's so true.
this house is full of so much personality. it really embodies the people who lived here. i'm tired of seeing "tasteful", but bland decor in houses - this is where it's at.
Its so cool and yet so funny lmao
If the 'personality' youre refering to is 'Old', 'Outdated' and 'out of touch' then yea, ALOT of 'personality' lol
@@96bmb i'm sure someone will think the same about your style in 40 years lol. trends cycle, tastes differ. what i mean is that their home tells a story in a visually compelling way.
@@neonbuildings I doubt it. The "Old American" look is very different to countries "Old looks". But sure, the place has more personality than some other houses on here
$14.6M to buy, $10M more to redecorate and get exorcised.
😂😂😂
💯😂😂
righttt, it hit me when she said 'tasteful taxidermy'
Truth
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"evErYthinG iN thIS RooM hAS bEen acQUired froM arounD tHe woRLD"
shocking, where else u gonna get it?
.
.
no shade, just here for giggles.
Local garage sale? ;)
hee heee
I was thinking the same lol
Love that they restored some of the orginal pieces of the house, it really fits in with their decor style and themes. I love the mixture of personalities in the furniture and decorations. Something different, strange and wonderful! Not a fan of minimalism at all.
Also can you imagine all the cool guests they must of had over? What a lively place!
It really is danny elfman in a house and i love it. I could also see john waters hanging out here, if it had more books.
I mean it’s nice but those nick-nacks are more creepy and off putting than nostalgic.
Do you even know who Elfman is? Lmao. I’m guessing no.
its danny elfman's house, of course its going to be weird and slightly creepy in the most amazing way.
Eat kale
Agree
He took his best knickknacks with him when he moved out.
This feels more like a museum than a home.
Its highly unlikely they spend any time there.
Danny elfman is my favorite composer,every movie scene with his music is so beautiful
Am I the only one expecting Anthony Hopkins to pop out around the corner asking Clarice for some Chianti? Creepy. house.
Do you even know who Elfman is?
@@FreakieFan you're typing that on every comment. Cut it out.
@@ophelia....
Don't worry. I'm not typing. Just copy and pasting it, to set these idiots straight who are criticizing a house they could never afford from someone who they know nothing about. :)
Because if all these morons commenting the same things on this video knew about Elfman's career and persona, they would understand that this house and its decor is perfectly apt and fitting.
Good day.
@@FreakieFan dear Guido, the people you think are daft for not idealizing some creepy Hollyweird person, are, in actuality, just not brainwashed to idolize humans, is all.
@@ophelia.... , exactly! I have my own life, I want a house for myself, to build my own history in it, with my family, not to live some stupid old-time celebrity's mood.
That Nothing To Fear Cat's Head is amazing didn't even know it existed
Take a shot every time she says “Bridget” in the guest house
haha yes or every time she says "original"
That guest house was just hideous. And I like most mid century modern. More of a time capsule but no something most ppl would want to live with.
@@jobrownsmith116 nice to visit; but not to live
@@lakebay972 Yes, a short visit, 😁.
I'm more creeped out by all the paintings and figures of babies/kids placed throughout the house.
🍕 g8
@@rivky11225 I was thinking the exact same thing
@@Pascua_bunch oh its true, Hollywood can cover it up as much as they want..those forked tongued devil worshipers are real.
Do you even know who Elfman is? Lmao. I’m guessing no.
@@rivky11225 my thoughts exactly
🤣Love that she thinks the 60s and 70s were ancient history.
That’s because it is!!!
this is literally my dream house, like I would not change a thing it’s perfect
Would have been so much better if Danny Elfman would’ve gave this tour!
I would feel weird living in this house not only cause it's creepy but because it would always feel like it is someone else's home. I don't think I would ever really would feel at home.
This is like the house from Knives Out
Why even bother blurring the paintings when you can still easily see and identify them? We can tell those are Mark Ryden. They do this in every video and inevitably someone always figures it out right away.
Copyright rules
🙂🙂 A home with character (a little bit creepy in some parts, but character nonetheless). Hoping to see more like this AD
"this can all be yours for the asking price of $14.6 million"
me watching this with $5 in my bank account 👁👄👁
Me watching this with no bank account
@@fatorangebastard same
Why does she keep referring to the decorations, art and artifacts that I assume are not part of the sale?
I doubt she'd go that in depth if it didn't come fully furnished
Most of those 'covered' paintings were Mark Ryden paintings
I absolutely adore this! While I appreciate that a lot of people seem to prefer modern minimal styles with clean lines, i’m fully onboard for someone passionate enough and unafraid to dive straight into their own style, other peoples opinions be damned! And someone that can do that while honouring and exploring architectural and period specific charm? Total bonus.
I actually kind of love this. It suits Danny Elfman and I am bored of houses without personality.
I can't express my appreciation enough for showcasing such unbelievable work!!
When the lights go out, I’m hiding under the cover and going home in the morning.
This home is high-key awesome.
And high key maintenance
Anyone remember Oingo Boingo? That’s how I know Danny Elfman.🥰
One of my first concerts. Saw them with Wall of Voodoo in SF. Good times!
@@heatherdean7793 ~ Love it!!!🎶🥰
@Ding Tolentino ~ Mine was/is ‘Who Do You Want To Be’ from their 1983 album Good For Your Soul.😁
Absolutely! My favorite band! Deadman's Party, Just Another Day, Gratitude...so many. Elfman is a creative genius.
I wouldn’t call any of those toys “very fun” or the taxidermy “tasteful” 😆
Jeebus Krikey, 1970's is not "mid-century." I frickin hate some of these real estate agents.
Nothing about the decor was mid-century. I was very confused. And I guarantee the buyer will immediately rip out that heinous kitchen.
Agreed, 50’s is mid-century.
She said at 7:07 the house was mid-century, from the 1960s. I'd classify the early '60s as mid-century, it's really not far off from the '50s. That's like someone saying 2010 was a different time period from now, which I wouldn't say it was.
I'd expect nothing less from the man who composed for Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands
And Nightmare Before Christmas, and is literally Jack Skellington, and almost every other Tim Burton Movie, including Batman, as well as marvel films and every other great score imaginable that wasn't composed by John Williams
His Spider-Man Soundtrack is legendary
Very cool home! The gal who hosted this tour did a great job!
My favourite score by Danny Elfman, to this day, is the Black Beauty soundtrack. My god, it still makes me tear up. Check it out if you’ve never heard it!
She talks about the price of the house like anyone can own it. Even us non-millionaires
Not at all what I expected for Danny Elfman. He seems so much more whimsical than this.
It’s his wife’s house too you know.
Except for the dead animals, I love every single detail of this home! Beautiful!
Black iron door of basement studio is creepy..
It's more fit for underground family cemetery
I love the cozy and rustic look in the living room. The collectibles are interesting conversation pieces.
I wonder how many babies they have sacrificed in this house
none, its danny elfman not ben franklin, i bet you say rude lies about people like john waters as well because you dont understand art or the beauty of the creepy.
@@erinolsen8062 I don’t know any of those guys nor have I heard of them before - the house speaks for itself ☺️
@@ritaaleksandrovna4518 then you are one who falls for appearances rather than substance or facts.
@@ritaaleksandrovna4518 Danny Elfman is the composer for the Beetlejuice movie, iirc the original Charlie and the chocolate factory movie, plus befriended Tim Burton. See how all this kinda connects with his interior design?
@@ritaaleksandrovna4518 if you don’t know who Danny Elfman is, why make such assumptions just because his house isn’t unicorns and rainbows?
He’s come a long way from Oongo Boingo gigs for Torrey Pines.
Weird science indeed
This house would absolutely fit in the Forbidden Zone and i love that about it.
@@erinolsen8062 Nah, a cardboard house with cartoon drawings is more the Forbidden Zone’s style.
+I remember he performed in Rodney Dangerfield's movie, Back to School.
So five years ago she walked in to one part of the estate and says she has to have it...and now they're selling the whole place? So now she has to lose it? (Cool place, though...)
yes, that also made me wander..
Chantal, where did you end up after going wandering?
Is this what intergenerational wealth looks like?
Probably lmao
Do you know for how many decades Elfman has been one of the top-paid film composers?
@@FreakieFan I take it you don't know about the Fonda family or the Dietrich family.
@@bl00dhoney
Lmao, sure. I've been a film fan for decades.
Your condescending remark suggests that this villa was bought with intergenerational wealth, yet Elfman makes millions of dollars per project, of which he does various every year. He'd be perfectly capable of buying anything he wants.
Good day
@@FreakieFan 🍕 g8
Are they selling all the collectibles? I feel like this video is "Inside Danny's Collectibles"
So skeletons of dead spider monkeys in your living room is "tasteful" now....🥴
Its new
its the finest of trends by far.
Why on EARTH would you sell this magnificent home??
Decorator: how many dolls do you want?
Briget and Danny: YES........
I honestly like it. It's very unique and kind of playful with all the colors.
Tasteful and taxidermy should never go together
lol no
She talks a lot about the personal possessions, not the house itself. I always wonder why people sell these homes after so much work making it their own. Seems like the house and the owners are well suited, so why leave? I always wonder.
How do you not mention in the title that this is also Bridget Fonda's house??
Because Danny Elfman is more famous, tbh
@@whatadamnusername He's not. His work is famous indeed but he as a person isn't. Bridget Fonda is much more of a household name.
Maybe they don’t think Bridget is weird enough to decorate her house like this? She’s got to be a weirdo on some level to be married to Danny for what is it seventeen years now though?
I'm confused because Zillow says it's for sale at $8.8MIL
I was confused about that too! The $8.8M is just for the main house, the "guest house" is listed separately at $5.8M. 75 Fremont Pl is the address for that one.
No Iah. This house is way too busy for me..,This house will make me have anxiety attack, High blood pressure, immediate dementia. Esp to remember which room is where, and what is here.. Even if I had a 100 million bucks I would not buy.. I like calm, quiet and peace of mind....Little, Less is more for me...🇯🇲
At least when you can't sleep cuz of the haunted looking doll eyes and taxidermy there are beautiful ceilings to look at ...
That's what I love about Hancock park...individual design
The house screams Danny elfman lol
no, the house simply screams
The first floor is a ground floor, also in some cases there is more than one ground floor. Second floor is first floor, or just upper floor in case three floors building with basement, or two floors without basement.
Guesthouse outside was like 100 years ahead of it's time, wow
Can someone explain to me why they are blurring some of the paintings?
Might be real-life people who wouldn't sign off on a release or a trademarked image that they didn't have permission to broadcast. Or just something vulgar or inappropriate.
Danny Elfman being Danny Elfman
Love the house itself, but the decor is kind of creepy like a high end haunted house. If it makes them happy, great. But I don't consider the taxidermy "tasteful".
Yes!
Right? I have never heard "taxidermy" and "tasteful" in the same sentence ever. I mean I can expect to find antlers on the wall in a Montana ranch house and a Deer head in a Wisconsin cottage, but who the hell wants a monkey skeleton in their living room?
@@canadude6401 Obviously danny elfman does.
Do you even know who Elfman is? Lmao. I’m guessing no.
@@FreakieFan Yes, but what difference does that make? The comments are about the decor, not his career.
Theres no way he isnt picking up his music studio
I find it quite creepy... all those faces of toys... never been a big fan of taxidermy as well. It's like lots of death in the house.
Be it ever so humble, there 'ain't' no place like a home filled with stuffed, dead animals. Getting out my checkbook.
I’ve seen some beautifully decorated homes on this channel but this is just beyond any normal persons taste . It will take a very brave person to buy this as a package. Horror movie set.
This video called me poor
Not the home I would want to raise children in or host my family for Christmas celebrations, but if I was an 80 yr old on a medicine cabinet of psychiatric medications, it may be perfect.
I think Danny Elfman and Bridget Fonda are brilliant, but the house is right out of the board game "Clue".
"It was Mrs Scarlett in the ballroom with the candlestick"
What did she meant when she talk about Ball Room as "Creative Mecca" at 4:10?
Or what did she said? if she had said something else..
Honestly surprised he doesn't have a better piano than a Yamaha grand, not that there's anything wrong with it... Just was expecting steinway or bosendorfer tbh.
Depends on what sound you like. No one is better than the other. Yamaha has a totally different sound, tonal color and performance quality vs a Steinway. He might just prefer it.
@@FreakieFan Honestly, that's a fair point and I didn't think of that.. I just know most pianists and composers that I've worked with prefer the two I mentioned is all
@@PlzzSayLess
Oh no worries. I'm sure Elfman could afford a dozen Steinways if he wanted :)
The Yamaha series is really popular within the more pop/jazz/rock music world (because it has a sharper, brighter tone, and is lighter to play), and considering Elfman started out as a singer-songwriter in his band Oingo Boingo that could explain it :)
love Danny's work but the main house reminded me of that movie... eyes wide shut. I'm not saying anything but i'm saying something
🤫
"Legendary actress Bridget Fonda"??!! BwahaaahaHA!! I remember when AD still had class.
The buildings and grounds are wonderful. The furnishings nothing short of garish. A collab with Mark Ryden?
I dont think you know anything about Danny Elfman.
You know the movie Beetlejuice? Yeah the owner is the composer of that movie. I don't think he minds a bit of garish
@@erinolsen8062 I know exactly who he is and his attempt at being camp is rather a surreal movie set that misses the mark by a mile. The furnishings of the mid-century home looks more like 1970's Goodwill.
@@LillyKC23 If all you are going to do is be a negative person about his taste and style, i dont think any of his works are for you.
@erin olsen Excuse me. I forgot simple opinions aren't permitted unless they agree with yours.
Goodness gracious, this place is so tacky.
Love how she's just throwing random words together to make it sound nice. Could tell when she said "very reminiscent of Louis Xlll". Lol
I loooooooved the guest houses yellow kitchen
Everyone is knocking the decor. I like it🤷🏻♂️
I LOVE IT! 🖤 dream house honestly
Let’s goo
Yo you're here!
Peter Andrei Carmen yep!!
So who bought it and what did they do with the oddball stuff? or was it not included in the sale?
At 6:35 I see he has a print of Snow White by Mark Ryden. I don't think it's the original painting but it is cool.
Perfect setting for Haunting of bly manor 😀
Dude literally lives close to me . What a small world. Oingo boingo is one of my favorites.
Gorgeous architecture, interesting to see what rich people do without interior designers.
This is Danny Elfman's style and always has been, im guessing you know nothing about him.
There’s no way they didn’t have an interior designer for a home that large.
This is exactly the house i wanna live in
Maybe when you're going around the house, you will always be haunted with "what if"
"what if the taxidermy come alive?"
"what if the dolls move its eyes?"
"what if the piano play itself?"
I am sure Tim Burton toured the place and then said "Want to see creepy decor? Hold my beer..."
whatever happened to the concept of taking all your personal crap out of a house, when trying to sell it. All i see is clutter, everywhere
He took some of his dolls with him.
