Leonard put the home — described by Realtor as the “most important legacy property on the Westside” — on the market in 2019 for $52 million, according to The Los Angeles Times. The mansion, which was inspired by Florentine villas, was designed by architect Richard Landry, whose work included creating mansions for high profile stars like Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen.
