Comedy legend Mel Brooks might have loved his jokes, but this midcentury home in Los Angeles was anything but. The nearly $4 million home is, as one of its real estate agents said, “steeped in Hollywood history.” The home includes a pool, three-sided fireplace, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and three bedrooms.

Brooks’ home is nestled against a hillside, creating a peaceful atmosphere best seen from the library, which has tons of wall-mounted bookcases. Inside, there is an open-plan concept with a dining room and living room. The great room’s main centerpiece is the three-sided fireplace, followed closely by its oversized glass doors and windows.
