As first reported by TMZ, Flagg is currently under contract to buy the mid-1960s home from singer-songwriter Charlie Puth in an off-market deal for an undisclosed amount. The property was initially listed for nearly $17 million late last year but has since seen several price reductions, settling at its current $11 million. Puth purchased the house about seven years ago for around $9 million. Designed by renowned architect Rex Lotery, the residence is famously known as “The de Cordova House,” named after its previous owners, Freddie de Cordova, a longtime producer of The Tonight Show, and his socialite wife, Janet.
This split-level home features four bedrooms and five bathrooms within 4,800 square feet, showcasing terrazzo-clad rooms that open to courtyards with canyon and city views. Situated on a half-acre ridge, the stone, glass, and redwood structure is secured behind gates and hedges, featuring a spacious motor court with space for up to nine vehicles.
Upon entering through double front doors, guests are greeted by a striking floating staircase leading to a grand living room with built-in shelving and expansive glass walls. The main level also includes a cozy sitting area with a fireplace, a dining room featuring a sculptural chandelier, and a gourmet kitchen with wood cabinetry, marble countertops, a central island, commercial-grade appliances, and a concealed refrigerator. The upstairs primary suite boasts a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a steam shower, and a sauna. The landscaped grounds feature a pool, fire pit, and multiple areas perfect for outdoor lounging and entertaining.
In addition to his soon-to-be former Beverly Hills residence, Puth owns properties in Studio City and Santa Barbara. Flagg, meanwhile, retains his 7,100-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, purchased sight unseen for $9.2 million in spring 2022, as well as a property on Miami Beach’s exclusive North Bay Road.
