“El Fureidis,” a Mediterranean Revival-style estate known for its starring role in the Al Pacino film “Scarface,” is coming on the market for $40 million.
The roughly 10-acre property includes a four-bedroom mansion designed in the early 1900s by architect Bertram Goodhue for wealthy New Yorker James Waldron Gillespie, The Wall Street Journal has reported. It incorporates Roman and Middle Eastern influences, including a Byzantine-style “conversation room” with a fountain and a high-domed ceiling. A dining room has a barreled ceiling painted in 24-karat gold leaf and depicting a scene of Alexander the Great conquering Persepolis. There is also a roof deck with views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands, as well as two guest cottages with an additional three bedrooms, according to lead listing agent Dina Landi.
