A creatively charged home in the Hollywood Hills owned by David Gelb, the creator and director of the Netflix series Chef’s Table, has returned to the market with a $6,095,000 price tag.
The five-bedroom, six-bath residence sits in the wooded enclave of Nichols Canyon and carries a musical and cinematic lineage. It was reimagined in 1991 as a creative refuge for legendary Eagles songwriter J.D. Souther before later being expanded by architect Stephen Kanner.
The property is listed with Emmanuel Xuereb and Salvator Xuereb of Compass.

Reimagined for Eagles songwriter J.D. Souther in 1991
The home’s creative roots trace back to 1991, when it was redesigned as a personal retreat for J.D. Souther, a prolific songwriter who co-wrote hits for the Eagles and other major artists.
Souther’s vision for the property centered on creating a secluded environment where music, creativity, and nature could coexist — a spirit that still defines the home today.
Later expanded by architect Stephen Kanner
The Nichols Canyon Road residence was later expanded by architect Stephen Kanner, FAIA, whose work often drew inspiration from midcentury modern design.
Kanner’s additions reinforced the home’s architectural discipline while maintaining its connection to the surrounding canyon landscape.
