Liza Minnelli’s former Hollywood Hills home has been listed for $8.399 million.
Minnelli’s second husband, director-producer Jack Haley Jr., commissioned the late famed architect Harry Gesner to design the mid-century modern house nestled above the Sunset Strip in 1960. Haley, who died in 2001 at age 67, and the 78-year-old actress lived at the residence throughout their marriage from 1974 to 1979, according to the Robb Report.
Christina Aguilera, 43, purchased the 6,500-square-foot property for $5 million in 2003, according to the outlet. The five-time Grammy Award winner enlisted architectural designer and developer Steve Hermann to remodel the house, where she lived until 2011.
The home was also once the residence of Voice of America’s senior White House correspondent Steven L. Herman. Beautyblender president and former Shiseido executive Carsten Fischer is the home’s current owner and seller. Levik Stephan and Anita Stephan of Hilton & Hyland/Forbes Global Properties hold the listing.

Another standout feature is the gym, yoga and massage room with a walk-up marble shower.
