He already owns a Beverly Hills fixer-upper that you might have seen featured on the latest season of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. Now word on the street has it that Josh Flagg has decided to plump up his property portfolio with another residence in the 90210, this one a renovated modernist spread in the posh Trousdale Estates neighborhood.
As first reported by TMZ, the real estate broker and reality TV celeb is currently under contract to purchase the mid-1960s digs from singer-songwriter Charlie Puth for an undisclosed amount in an off-market deal. After first hitting the market late last year with a nearly $17 million ask, records show the house underwent several substantial price chops before landing at its current $11 million ask. The recently married Grammy-nominated musician originally acquired the home for around $9 million almost seven years ago, back in winter 2017.

Built and designed by noted architect Rex Lotery, the property is widely known as “The de Cordova House,” for its previous owners Freddie de Cordova, a longtime producer of The Tonight Show when it was hosted by Johnny Carson, and his socialite wife Janet. The split-level abode has four bedrooms and five baths in 4,800 square feet of living space boasting terrazzo-clad rooms flowing out to courtyards providing canyon and city lights views.
Perched atop a ridge amid a roughly half-acre parcel of land, the stone, glass, and redwood structure is tucked away behind gates and high hedges and fronted by a spacious motorcourt with room for up to nine vehicles. Double front doors open into an entry foyer, which displays a striking floating staircase and steps descending to a soaring living room lined with built-in shelving and walls of glass.
The garage has been converted into a fitness studio.

Other main-level highlights include a cozy sitting area warmed by a fireplace and a dining room topped with a sculptural chandelier, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with wood cabinetry, marble countertops, an eat-in island, commercial-grade appliances, and a hidden refrigerator. Upstairs, the primary suite has a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a steam shower, and a sauna, while the landscaped grounds come complete with a pool, a fire pit, and several spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.
In addition to his soon-to-be-former Beverly Hills home, Puth also maintains properties in Studio City and Santa Barbara. As for Flagg, he still owns the aforementioned 7,100-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion that he picked up sight unseen in spring 2022 for $9.2 million, as well as a place on Miami Beach’s exclusive North Bay Road.
