It’s definitely not the over-the-top Utah mansion in Deer Valley that Jason Schwartzman inhabited as a tech mogul in the HBO movie Mountainhead, though that place is currently available as a vacation rental for a whopping $60,000 per night. But a charming and far more modest Tudor-style cottage he owns in real life is now for sale in the celeb-packed Los Angeles neighborhood of Toluca Lake for a speck under $1.75 million after it was initially priced at $1.8 million. Danny Emmer of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
Records show the actor—probably best known for the Wes Anderson films Rushmore and The Grand Budapest Hotel, as well as the HBO series Bored to Death and animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse—paid exactly $1.75 million for the property less than a year ago, in October 2024.

Built almost a century ago and recently remodeled, the white stucco and gable-roof structure features three bedrooms and two bathrooms in roughly 2,300 square feet on a single level boasting red oak floors, high ceilings, built-ins, arched doorways, and latch-style windows. There’s also a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with a kitchen and living area.
Sitting beyond an ivy-lined sidewalk, the home is accessed via a red-hued walkway that meanders through a manicured lawn with a tiered fountain before emptying at the covered porch entry. Once inside, a living room is anchored by a modern ceramic-tiled fireplace and an adjacent dining area has French doors spilling outside. The kitchen comes with quartz countertops, a glossy subway tile backsplash, an apron-front sink, a refurbished vintage O’Keefe and Merritt stove, and a breakfast nook.

Set off by themselves are the sleeping quarters, which include a primary suite flaunting a reading alcove, a walk-in closet, and an upgraded bath, plus two additional bedrooms that share a bath. Outdoors, the hedged parcel spans less than a quarter of an acre and is spotlighted by a pergola-shaded dining space and a patio fronting the 634-square-foot guesthouse and attached one-car garage with a bonus space up top.
An L.A. native and member of the Coppola family—he’s the son of Rocky actress Talia Shire and nephew of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola—Schwartzman is also recognized for his musical endeavors as a drummer and songwriter for the rock band Phantom Planet, famous for the theme song for The O.C. TV series, and as a solo artist under his Coconut Records label. As far as acting, he recently joined the ensemble cast of the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios AI film Artificial, directed by Luca Guadagnino.
