One of the ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ Stars Is Selling a TV Composer’s Home in L.A. for $6 Million
Though the reality show Farrah Brittany starred in alongside Mauricio Umansky and her sisters was recently canceled after two seasons on Netflix, the Buying Beverly Hills star is still peddling properties for the family real estate business. In fact, the stepdaughter of Umansky and daughter of Kyle Richards—he the co-founder and CEO of The Agency brokerage firm the series followed, and she his estranged wife and a cast member of The Housewives of Beverly Hills—has just hoisted a particularly eye-catching residence in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood Hills up for sale, asking a smidge under $6 million.
In another TV-related twist, the home is owned by Shuki Levy. And while he’s not exactly a household name, if you happen to be a connoisseur of animated cartoons from the 1980s and ’90s, you’ve likely come across his handiwork. There are the memorable theme songs he composed for 130-plus children’s shows, including Inspector Gadget and He-Man and Masters of the Universe, and his work as one-half of the producing team that created the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise.
The cozy family room is adorned with a fireplace and wet bar.

Records indicate that Levy and his chef and food blogger wife Tori Avery doled out $1.45 million in spring 1994 for the property, which is nestled amid a gated cul-de-sac parcel spanning almost 1.6 acres and includes a Spanish-style main house, plus a wood-clad guest cabin—for a total of seven bedrooms and an equal number of baths in nearly 6,500 square feet overlooking sweeping city lights and mountain views.
As for the multi-level primary residence, a double-height entry foyer displaying a curving floating staircase flows to a dedicated office space, as well as formal living and dining rooms separated by a double-sided fireplace. A gourmet kitchen boasting marble countertops, a workstation, a center island, top-tier Viking appliances, and a breakfast nook connects to the fireside family room, which comes complete with a wet bar and a powder room.
The charming wood-clad guest cabin features a private deck overlooking the grounds.

Upstairs, the primary suite is decked out with a private balcony and another two-way fireplace that opens to a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and two walk-in closets. The bottom floor, meanwhile, offers a gym, a movie theater, a game room, and direct access to garden-laced grounds hosting a resort-style pool and spa, a koi pond, a gazebo, a barbecue, a pizza oven, and plenty of spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.
Rounding it all out is the 582-square-foot guest cabin, which sits amid the treetops and features a bedroom, a full bath, a kitchenette, a loft, a sauna, and its own deck. There’s also a spacious stone motorcourt out front that can hold up to 10 vehicles.
