“Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Josh Flagg has purchased pop star Charlie Puth’s Trousdale Estates home for $11 million in an off-market deal. The sale price represents a substantial reduction from the property’s initial listing price of $17 million.
The historic residence, known as “The de Cordova House,” was built in 1965 by acclaimed architect Rex Lotery. The property has an impressive entertainment industry lineage, having previously belonged to Freddie de Cordova, the longtime producer of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and his socialite wife Janet.
Puth, who recently married Brooke Sansone on September 7, first acquired the property in 2017 for just under $9 million. During his ownership, the property underwent extensive renovations overseen by architect Stephen Shortridge.

The 4,800-square-foot residence sits on approximately half an acre of prime Beverly Hills real estate. A gated entrance and tall hedges provide privacy, while a spacious motorcourt offers parking for up to nine vehicles.
The home’s interior showcases a blend of modern luxury and mid-century design elements. The formal entry features a striking floating staircase, leading to a step-down great room with built-in shelving and expansive glass walls that frame canyon and city views.
The main level includes several noteworthy spaces, including a cozy sitting area with a fireplace and a formal dining room adorned with a sculptural chandelier. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, marble countertops, a breakfast bar, and commercial-grade appliances, including a concealed refrigerator.
The residence contains four bedrooms and five bathrooms, including three full bathrooms and two powder rooms. The primary suite is particularly luxurious, featuring an en-suite bathroom with dual marble vanities, a stone soaking tub, and a marble rain shower topped by a large skylight. A private sauna adds another layer of luxury to the primary suite.

Additional interior amenities include a private office with its own patio, a wet bar, and a dedicated laundry room. The former garage has been transformed into a well-equipped fitness studio, adding modern functionality to the historic property.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, designed for both relaxation and entertainment. The grounds include a heated swimming pool, multiple patios for outdoor dining, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a fire pit. The terraced landscape provides various vantage points for enjoying the surrounding views.
For Flagg, this purchase adds to his growing real estate portfolio. The reality TV star and broker already owns a 7,100-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, which he purchased sight unseen in 2022 for $9.2 million. He also maintains a property on Miami Beach’s exclusive North Bay Road.
Puth, meanwhile, retains ownership of properties in both Studio City and Santa Barbara, making this sale part of a larger real estate portfolio adjustment for the Grammy-nominated musician.

The property’s terrazzo-clad rooms provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow, a characteristic feature of Southern California architectural design. Multiple courtyards throughout the property offer various perspectives of the surrounding canyon and city lights.
The home’s stone, glass, and redwood construction elements reflect the original architectural vision of Rex Lotery while incorporating modern updates and amenities. The recent renovation maintained the property’s architectural integrity while adding contemporary luxuries.
The property’s position atop a ridge in Trousdale Estates, one of Beverly Hills’ most exclusive neighborhoods, adds to its appeal. This location has historically attracted entertainment industry elite and continues to be one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after addresses.
