You may know Steven Zaillian as the Academy Award–winning screenwriter who penned the scripts for acclaimed films such as “Schindler’s List,” “Gangs of New York,” and, most recently, “The Irishman.” But he’s hoping to write a new chapter for his real estate—with a $14,000 monthly lease on his Spanish Colonial Revival–style home in Santa Monica, CA.
Charmingly rustic on the outside, with all the modern conveniences inside, the four-bedroom, three-bath home was originally built in 1924 by John M. Chapman, and was owned by abstract expressionist painter Richard Diebenkorn.
It has, of course, been updated to its current pristine condition, with due consideration given to its historic and artistic charm.

The house measures 2,266 square feet, and has all sorts of unique characteristics, including the curved corner fireplace in the living room, and the graceful casement windows and door in the dining room.

Also delightful are the original French doors throughout the house. The skylights in the open kitchen and elsewhere allow plenty of California sunshine to flow through.

The bedrooms are also intriguing—one has an inviting reading loft, and another is a light-filled, tile-floored room that could do triple duty as an office, sunroom, and studio. You can’t help but speculate about the riveting screenplays that may have been crafted there. Inspiration abounds.

The generous lot features mature landscaping and space to entertain.

The property is within walking distance to the Santa Monica Canyon restaurants, as well as the beach.
Zaillian, 66, won an Oscar for his screenplay for “Schindler’s List.” He’s also penned “The Falcon and the Snowman,” “Mission: Impossible,” “Hannibal,” and the recent drama “Deep Water.” He both wrote and directed “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” “A Civil Action,” and “All the King’s Men.” He’s already been nominated for both the Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe Awards for “The Irishman” screenplay, which he wrote.
