David Schwimmer Puts His L.A. Home on the Market

Mr. Schwimmer bought the roughly 11,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom home in Hancock Park in 2001 for $5.5 million. The 1920s home, which was renovated before he bought it, sits on a flat acre and was designed by the architectural firm Koerner & Gage, which also designed Beverly Hills’ City Hall. The house has a screening room, wood-paneled library and a den finished in stone. There’s a guest house, a pool, a spa and a tennis court with a pavilion.

The “Friends” star, who recently directed the movie “Trust” with Clive Owen and Catherine Keener, renovated the backyard and made other improvements, including restoring the home’s windows, doors and hardwood floors and installing new heating and air conditioning systems. They’ve also hired MUGA pitch contractors to refurbish the tennis court. Mr. Schwimmer is selling because he and his wife recently started a family and hope to pick out a Hancock Park home together, according to a statement from listing firm Westside Estate Agency.
