L.A. Power Couple List Hancock Park Estate Where They’ve Hosted an Array of High-Profile Political Events for $16.5 Million

Mike Rose and Ruben Rodriguez listed their Hancock Park estate for $16.5 million this week, marking a significant real estate move for the Los Angeles power couple. The couple, known for hosting high-profile Democratic political fundraisers, including events for Pete Buttigieg, and philanthropic gatherings for organizations such as the National AIDS Monument, Outfest, and Project Angel Food, have utilized the property as a venue for over a decade. They originally purchased the 1926 Tudor estate for $8.6 million in 2015, shortly after selling their production payroll and residuals platform, Ease Entertainment Services. The five-bedroom residence spans over 7,500 square feet on a one-acre parcel and is situated in an exclusive neighborhood that counts Shonda Rhimes and Bill Simmons among its residents. The property is being marketed by Neyshia Go of Sotheby's International Realty and Aaron Kirman of Christie's International Real Estate. This listing represents the culmination of their "second act" in real estate and philanthropy, transforming the historic home into a hub for influential figures and charitable causes.
