1. Charlton Heston’s midcentury home hits the market for the first time ever. The Academy Award-winning actor Charlton Heston commissioned Modernist architect William S. Beckett to design this Beverly Hills abode In 1959. Perched on 2.9 acres overlooking Coldwater Canyon, the home, which is mostly original, has remained in the Heston family until now. The five-bedroom residence spans nearly 10,000 square feet and has garnered tons of attention thanks to its lasting midcentury appeal.
