The Beverly Hills home of Hollywood legends Kirk and Anne Douglas and its garden pathway of pavers signed by Tinseltown’s biggest stars has hit the market for $7.495 million. The 1920s property, which is in The Flats neighborhood that’s hidden from the street by tall hedges, is close to Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills Hotel.

It was listed on Dec. 6 by Rochelle Altas Maize of Nourmand & Associates. ... Placed in a trust in 1990, the Douglases bought the property in 1976 for $400,000, according to its listing on Redfin. ... Ms. Maize said the couple lived in the house until their deaths: He died in 2020 at 103, and she passed away this year at 102.

Because of the limited inventory in Beverly Hills, the celebrity cachet and the unusual autographed pavers, Ms. Maize said she expects the property to sell quickly. ... “I priced it at land value,” she said. “And nothing in Beverly Hills that’s great sells for less than $9 million. We are accepting offers starting on Monday, and I expect to get 15 or more and for it to sell for substantially over the asking price.”

The Douglas children did not reply to an email requesting comment. ... The listing was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
