Duncan Jones — son of David Bowie and director of films such as “Source Code” and “Mute” — has sold his Hollywood Hills home of five years for $1.6 million.
He listed the property in April shortly after shelling out $3.55 million for a traditional-style home in Sherman Oaks, records show. The move was an upgrade for Jones, because the new place is nearly three times the size of his now-former home in the hills.
Built in 1935, the rustic retreat sits on a secluded corner lot. Inside, the remodeled two-story interior features three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in roughly 2,000 square feet.

Farmhouse vibes are heavy in the common spaces, as white-painted beams top an expansive living and dining room with a fireplace. A center-island kitchen with slate tile floors sits to one side. On the other, there’s a wall of built-ins.
Two of the three bedrooms are master suites, and both feature custom bathrooms and cedar-lined closets. A wine cellar and treetop balcony complete the interior.
Out back, tiered terraces descend past a tree with a swinging bench to a waterfall-fed pool and spa. Fencing and landscaping make the space private.
Craig Strong of Compass held the listing. Michael Bary, also with Compass, represented the buyer.
