Hollywood Hypenate Peter Horton’s Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Lists for $8 Million

by

Many years after his run as literary professor Gary Shepherd on the Emmy-winning TV series thirtysomething made him a household name, Peter Horton doled out $2.6 million for a quintessential California Spanish home on the Westside of Los Angeles. Now the actor, who has since transitioned into directing and producing high-profile shows like Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, has decided to put the Santa Monica digs he has owned since 2002 up for sale, asking a smidge under $8 million. David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties holds the listing.

Built and designed in the late 1990s by architect Bob Ramirez, the striking creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away behind hedges and gates, amid a corner parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre. Inside, five bedrooms and six baths are spread across roughly 5,100 square feet of multi-level living space boasting a mix of hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, arched doorways, built-ins, and French doors in every room spilling out to multiple terraces and balconies.

The living room is topped by an iron-railed loft that serves as a library.

A stone walkway passes through a private courtyard on its way up to the hand-carved wood front door, which opens into an entry foyer that leads to an office and a double-height living room spotlighted by a wood-burning stone fireplace, a minstrel balcony, and a library loft. There’s also a formal dining room, plus a family room that connects to a spacious kitchen sporting custom cabinetry, a sink-equipped island, top-tier Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook.

Other highlights include a primary suite flaunting a trio of balconies, dual fitted closets, a separate office retreat, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower, as well as a top-floor mediation room adorned with wraparound windows and a cozy built-in sofa. Per the marketing materials, there’s also a rooftop terrace offering city skyline views.

The spacious kitchen flows to a family room with wood-trimmed French doors leading outside.

As for the grassy grounds, they’re laced with mature gardens and host a tiered fountain, a sandy children’s play area, and a raised vegetable planter. A detached two-car garage can also be found on the premises, which are sited near the beach and the bustling Montana Avenue shopping and dining district.

The 71-year-old Washington native, who was married to actress Michelle Pfeiffer for much of the ’80s and has long maintained a two-bedroom, one-bath oceanfront cottage in the California town of Cambria, was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” while he was on thirtysomething. In addition to Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, Horton has also directed and produced The Shield, The Wonder Years, The Philanthropist, and American Odyssey.

    Gawker Founder Nick Denton Is Selling His N.Y.C. Condo for $3.5 Million

    Soho has long been a magnet for New York’s arts and culture glitterati, drawing in A-listers like Justin Timberlake, Gigi Hadid, and Daniel Craig. And now, a loft with its own notable owner has come up for grabs in the coveted neighborhood. The airy condo at 76 Crosby Street, home to Gawker Media founder Nick Denton, has hit the market for $3.5 million with Pamela D’Arc of Compass as the British digital media pioneer and his family prepare to move across the pond.

    The two-bedroom, two-bath loft offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. The second-floor corner spread, accessible via a private entrance or through the building’s doorman-monitored lobby, strikes the perfect balance between the exclusivity of a townhouse and the security of a full-service building. 

    Ceilings soar to nearly 13 feet high, and wraparound southeast-facing windows flood the open-plan great room with natural light. Three cast iron columns and an original wooden ceiling beam serve as architectural reminders of Soho’s industrial past, while sleek contemporary finishes, including a stainless-steel chef’s kitchen, anchor the home firmly in the present.

    The modernized apartment retained an original wooden ceiling beam and several cast iron columns.

    Kate Glicksberg

    The grand, open-concept living and dining area spans nearly 30 feet, framed by seven towering and deep-set windows cleverly designed with cushioned seats and inset bookshelves. The adjacent kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with a Viking six-burner cooktop, SubZero fridge, wine cooler, and Miele wall oven. Meanwhile, the expansive second bedroom offers flexibility—it can easily serve as a media room, den, or additional entertaining space. 

    Tucked away for ultimate privacy, the primary suite is a serene escape from the city’s non-stop hustle. A spa-like teak-clad bath features a Japanese soaking tub and rain shower, while two dressing closets provide ample storage. “My favorite room is the nook, opposite the bedroom in the master suite,” Denton said in a statement. “It’s where I do my work and watch the trucks make deliveries with the kids on Crosby Street. Suburban kids might be into dogs and cats; ours are city kids whose first words in the morning are ‘truck’ and ‘fire engine.’”

    A oversized second bedroom is easily converted into a media room or home office.

    Kate Glicksberg

    This isn’t Denton’s first attempt to sell the place; back in 2016, it hit the market for $4.25 million, according to listing records. It was also rented out for $14,000 a month. During his occupancy, the media mogul famously ran the now-defunct Gawker empire right out of his Soho apartment, a website about media and culture that he founded alongside Elizabeth Spiers in 2002. Now, the 2,152-square-foot space is ready for its next chapter.  

    “For the last few years, I’ve been shuttling back and forth between Europe and New York,” Denton added. “So, I compare the apartment to hotels in London and Paris.  And I appreciate our home even more. Croissants for breakfast from the French bakery across the way, business meetings in the red-leather booths in Balthazar, and Equinox just a block away — better than any hotel gym. Five stars!” 

    Fun fact: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos owned the building’s duplex penthouse from 2005 until 2014, when they sold it for $20 million to real estate developer Alex Adjmi.

    Ellen DeGeneres Just Sold a Midcentury Bungalow in Montecito for $5.2 Million

    Back in 2020, after they sold a Beverly Hills mansion to a San Francisco-based venture capitalist for a cool $45 million, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi went on a real estate buying spree in the Santa Barbara area. The former talk show host and actress snatched up a $49 million compound from comedian Dennis Miller, bought back a $14.3 million ranch they had previously owned from Tinder founder Sean Rad, and picked up a two-bedroom, two-bath 1950s bungalow just steps away from Montecito’s Butterfly Beach for $2.9 million, just to name a few of their purchases.

    The couple went on to flip the Miller pad for $55 million to an unidentified buyer and once again offloaded the historic Rancho San Leandro hacienda—it’s right next door to Oprah Winfrey’s Promised Land estate—to Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe in an off-market deal for $21 million. Now they’ve come full circle, selling the petite cottage in a bidding war for $5.2 million just days after they listed it for a speck under $5 million. Not only is that around $200,000 over the asking price, but it’s also $2.3 million more than they paid for the place a little more than four years ago.

    The open-concept great room holds a fireside living and dining area, plus a sleek kitchen.

    Blake Bronstad/Luxury Portfolio International

    Tucked away at the end of a lengthy driveway shared with three other homes, amid a nearly half-acre parcel laced with palms, the single-level house was built in 1954 and offers about 1,700 square feet of glass-lined living space that has been extensively renovated through the years. With vaulted ceilings sporting whitewashed exposed beams throughout, the Bali-esque interiors are centered around an open-concept great room hosting a fireside living room, a dining area, and a sleekly designed kitchen outfitted with Portuguese limestone countertops and high-end stainless appliances.

    Just off the kitchen is a small guest bedroom that sits across from a full bath and a laundry room. At the end of a hallway is a secluded primary retreat, which features a bedroom with its own patio, along with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath that comes with a soaking tub and access to a privately walled courtyard. A second enclosed patio off the living area is embellished with a fire pit and a water feature, while a carport rests out front.

    The great room opens out to an enclosed patio with a fire pit and a seated bar.

    Blake Bronstad/Luxury Portfolio International

    The property-mad pair, who have largely decamped to the U.K., are rumored to already be looking at a new and very modern house in the Cotswolds after they experienced issues with flooding and backlash from neighbors over construction work at an $18 million farmhouse they first moved into last year. Back in the U.S., they still lay claim to at least two Montecito homes: a $32 million Roman-style estate known as Pompeiian Court that the two repurchased last year as part of a property swap deal with billionaire mining magnate Robert Friedland, as well as another smaller house nearby.

    The just-sold listing was held by Riskin Partners Estate Group of Village Properties/Forbes Global Properties; Mark Bacino of Keller Williams Realty repped the buyer.

    Mary Tyler Moore’s Connecticut Estate Sells for a Reduced $16.9 Million

    The Greenwich, Connecticut, estate that served as the home of late TV legend Mary Tyler Moore has been swooped up after being listed about one-and-a-half years ago.

    The waterfront property was first listed in September 2023 for $22 million, but the buyer, represented by Helene Barre and Fran Ehrlich of Sotheby’s International Realty–Greenwich Brokerage, paid a reduced $16.9 million, its most recent asking price. Joseph Barbieri at the same brokerage represented the seller, Moore’s husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine.

    “It was an honor to represent this remarkable property, once home to a beloved TV icon,” Barbieri said in a statement. “I am pleased with the successful outcome of the sale.”

    The double-height solarium features stained glass inserts sourced from churches and synagogues.

    Daniel Milstein for Sotheby’s International Realty

    Moore and Levine snapped up the Georgian Colonial in 2006 for about $10 million, and the five-bedroom, nine-bath abode includes almost 14,000 square feet of interior space and sits on an impressive seven acres of land. While the home was originally built more than a century ago, the couple worked with architect Stephen Wang to update the home. Standout details include a double-height solarium with stained glass sourced from various churches and synagogues, a laundry room with a built-in dog shower and grooming station, and a decked-out gym and spa.

    Elsewhere, you’ll find a foyer with harlequin-patterned floors and a wood-paneled billiards room and library with built-ins. The primary suite—all 2,000 square feet of it—includes both dual bathrooms and walk-in closets.

    The 65-foot pool is accompanied by its own fireplace.

    Daniel Milstein for Sotheby’s International Realty

    Across the expansive grounds, landscaped by Janice Parker, you’ll find a host of amenities to boot. A guest apartment sits above the three-car garage, and the 65-foot pool comes with its own fireplace. Plus, there’s a pond and five acres of conservation land.

    Moore, the iconic actress known for starring in her eponymous sitcom, died in 2017 at the age of 80 after contracting pneumonia, according to The New York Times. She married Levine in 1983, and the two split their time between Greenwich and Manhattan. When Levine decided to sell the Connecticut estate in 2023, he told The Wall Street Journal that doing so was part of his process of moving on. Back then, he added that a portion of the proceeds from the sale would go toward the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a nonprofit that works to advance research for restoring and preserving vision in people with diabetes.

    ‘Full House’ Creator Jeff Franklin Relists His Sprawling Beverly Hills Estate for $50 Million

    It looks like Jeff Franklin, the creator of the Full House sitcom, is giving it another shot with his ultra-luxe Beverly Hills estate, but this time with a serious price chop. Originally listed in 2022 for a staggering $85 million, the palatial mansion is back up for grabs for just under $50 million—a jaw-dropping 41.8 percent discount. 

    Of course, the property’s history adds another layer of intrigue. The behemoth abode sits on the infamous site of the gruesome 1969 Manson murders, though the original home was bulldozed in the ’90s. And, talk about timing, Netflix just released its documentary Chaos: The Manson Murders earlier this month. Coincidence? Maybe.

    Dubbed Villa Andalusia, the lavish showstopper sits on over three-and-a-half private acres at the tail end of Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon and spans a mind-boggling 21,000 square feet. Designed by A-list architect Richard Landry, the mastermind megamansion specialist behind homes for Dr. Dre and the Kardashians, the estate features a total of nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, plus a backyard that looks more like a boutique resort than a private residence. Think waterfalls, a koi pond, a lazy river, and even a 35-foot water slide that leads to a hidden grotto.

    The pool sports multiple waterfalls, a lazy river and a 35-foot waterslide.

    Thomas Feezel from Thomas Samuel Media

    “This is one of the most exciting pools we have ever designed— it features a beach entry, steam cave, spa, waterfalls over a grotto, and a swim-up bar, not to mention the water slide and lazy river ending at an infinity edge with in-water dining and endless city views,” said Landry. 

    Inside, it only gets more extravagant. A soaring 40-foot foyer with a grand fountain sets the stage, leading to an opulent sitting room complete with a massive indoor shark tank that peeks into the dining room. The chef’s kitchen is just as impressive, decked out with a stone pizza oven, high-end appliances, and dramatic picture windows that showcase the breathtaking city-to-ocean views. The grand primary suite is a world of its own, with dual balconies, baroque wooden doors, and a spa-like bathroom offering the most commanding view on the entire property.

    And, if entertaining is your thing, this place is a dream. There’s a plush home theater, a game room, and a wet bar. There’s even a hair salon, a spa, and even a gym, not to mention a subterranean garage that fits up to 16 cars. “There is simply nothing quite like this on the market,” added Compass agent Adam Brawer. 

    The Hollywood producer purchased the then-unfinished estate more than 25 years ago for just over $6 million and spent years finishing and perfecting it. Since relocating to Miami, he’s also offered it as a fully furnished rental for $250,000 per month.

    Kanye West’s Infamously Gutted Former Malibu House Pops Back Up for Sale After 6 Months

    Just six months ago, Steven “Bo” Belmont was jazzed about having acquired a Tadao Ando-designed house in Malibu from Kanye West for a discounted $21 million. At the time, the founder and owner of Belwood Investments, a California-based real estate crowdfunding firm that’s been flipping homes since 2018, aspired to raise at least $5 million to restore the unfinished property during the next year or so to its original state and then hoist it back up for sale at around $40 million.

    “This is not just a phenomenal real estate investment; it is an opportunity to revitalize and preserve an architectural gem by the renowned Tadao Ando, ensuring it remains a jewel of Malibu,” Belmont said via a press release. “This acquisition exemplifies Belwood Investments’ commitment to transforming properties with historical and architectural significance while delivering exceptional returns for our investors.”

    But that was then. Belmont has now decided to put the place back on the market a little sooner and a lot more incomplete than expected. He’s asking a substantial $39 million for the oceanfront spread, which is listed by Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group and Mauricio Umansky of The Agency.

    The four-bedroom, five-bath home clocks in at just over 4,000 square feet.

    Roger Davies

    Records show the increasingly erratic music mogul-turned-Yeezy fashion designer doled out a whopping $57.3 million in cash for the residence in fall 2021 and then controversially gutted the place in preparation for a redesign. He proceeded to rip out all the windows, doors, and interior finishes before changing his mind and flipping the vacant and uninhabitable concrete shell back on the market in early 2024 at $53 million. The price was later slashed to $39 million, and after languishing and sitting exposed to the elements for nearly three years, it finally sold for $21 million, a staggering $36 million less than West paid.

    Originally designed and built for financier and art collector Richard Sachs by the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect, the brutalist structure was completed in 2013 in collaboration with the architecture firm Marmol Radziner using 1,200 tons of concrete and 200 tons of reinforced steel. Per marketing materials, the house has four bedrooms and five baths in just over 4,000 square feet, with roughly 1,500 square feet of outdoor decks providing ocean views.

    Though the property is still unfinished, it does have new framing, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as a redone roof.

    Roger Davies

    Lacking plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior finishes at the time he scooped it up, Belmont has since completed the framing, installed new plumbing and electrical systems, redone the roof, and is waiting for glass for the windows to arrive from Germany. The investor recently told The Wall Street Journal that he doesn’t intend to abandon the construction that is already under way and will continue to work on the mansion until he receives a fair offer. If one doesn’t come about, he added, he will list the property for between $55 million and $65 million closer to completion, which is expected by early 2026. Several unsolicited offers have already come in during the past few months, including a $30 million overture from a Montana developer and a $28 million submission from a local builder. “I’m obviously not going to take that,” he said, “but there’s been a lot of activity.”

    A broker price opinion report prepared for Belwood by Rugiero at the time of purchase estimated the property’s final value once restored would top $50 million, while other brand-new or freshly rehabbed homes along this same stretch of sand typically go for around $20 million. However, it is one of only a handful of U.S. buildings designed by the 82-year-old Ando, who’s been called “Hollywood’s favorite starchitect” and whose homes are regarded as “the hottest must-have among the super wealthy.” 

    The brutalist structure has roughly 1,500 square feet of outdoor decks overlooking the Pacific.

    Roger Davies

    In 2023, Jay-Z and Beyoncé paid $190 million for a much larger Malibu estate designed by Ando in a deal that remains one of the most ever paid for a California home. Kim Kardashian is planning to build an extravagant Ando-designed vacation mansion near Palm Springs, and Slack co-founder Stewart Butterfield and his wife Jen Rubio bought Tom Ford’s Ando-designed ranch in New Mexico in 2021 for $40 million.

    After he offloaded his Malibu home, West paid $35 million in an off-market deal for a glitzy Richard Landry-designed contemporary mansion in the guard-gated Beverly Park neighborhood of Los Angeles that had previously belonged to Perfect 10 magazine founder Norm Zada, as well as the late Saudi billionaire Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamal. His other L.A. property in Calabasas, where his now-shuttered Donda Academy was located, has fallen into a state of neglect.

    Stevie Wonder Once Called This SoCal Estate Home. Now It Can Be Yours for $15 Million.

    If you’ve always wanted to live like a legendary singer and songwriter with countless hits and awards under his belt, now’s your chance. The sprawling SoCal estate where Stevie Wonder resided with his family for over a decade has just popped up for sale in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, asking $15 million. The listing, which is also available for rent at $65,000 a month, is shared by Branden Williams, Rayni Williams, Dennis DeWalt, and Brandon Meneses of The Beverly Hills Estates.

    Wonder purchased the home in October 2000 for nearly $2.9 million for his then-soon-to-be wife, clothing designer Kai Millard (Milla) Morris. Though the I Just Called to Say I Love You crooner moved out after their 2012 divorce, she has remained in the residence ever since and is now selling because their two sons are grown, according to The Wall Street Journal.

    A music room holds Wonder’s rare Bösendorfer piano, which is not included in the sale.

    Built in 1992 and recently renovated, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away on a nearly three-acre hillside parcel within the exclusive gated Hidden Hills West neighborhood. Six bedrooms and an equal number of baths are spread across more than 11,100 square feet of three-level living space that boasts the same acoustically ideal, high ceilings the 25-time Grammy-winning musician enjoyed while practicing and singing tunes with his family.

    Upon entering the massive pivoting wood front door, a double-height marble entry foyer displaying a spiral staircase flows to a formal fireside dining room topped by a pendant ring-shaped light fixture. Other highlights include a family room sporting a trio of picture windows, a wet bar, and wine storage, plus a gourmet kitchen decked out with chevron-patterned parquet wood floors, custom cabinetry, a book-matched marble eat-in island, and top-notch Miele and Sub-Zero appliances.

A living room connects to a dedicated piano room, which has glass doors spilling out to picturesque grounds hosting a grassy lawn and a freeform pool with a spillover spa. Out front, an attached four-car garage and a cobblestone motor court are accessible via a gated driveway.

    The 74-year-old Michigan-born musician, who married Tomeeka Robyn Bracy in 2017, maintains a substantial real estate portfolio. There’s a handful of homes and commercial properties across L.A., including a house in the Hollywood Hills, as well as a big house in Alpine, N.J., and his childhood home in Detroit.

    Christina Ricci’s Scenic L.A. Home Is Back on the Market for $4.2 Million

    It’s been barely a year since Christina Ricci doled out $4 million for a modern home in Los Angeles, and now the veteran film and TV actress is already looking to offload her stylish spread high above the hills of Silver Lake with a nearly $200,000 jump in price, asking just under $4.2 million. But the brand-new Hollywood Walk of Fame star holder has a good reason. A family member who was displaced during the recent L.A. wildfires has moved in with the Yellowjackets star and her hairstylist husband Mark Hampton and she needs a bigger place to better accommodate all of them, according to listing agent Lorraine Getz of Compass.

    Completed in 2018 and resting amid a nearly quarter-acre cul-de-sac parcel overlooking the Silver Lake Reservoir, the three-bedroom, four-bath abode has roughly 3,400 square feet of open-concept, two-level living space accented with a mix of hardwood and ceramic tile floors throughout, plus a smart-home automation system. A spacious rooftop deck and vast expanses of glass offer jetliner views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the reservoir and mountains beyond.

    The fireside living room opens to a terrace offering sweeping city skyline views.

    A catwalk leads into the main level, which is highlighted by an open-concept great room sporting a living area that has a sleek linear fireplace topped by a TV and access to a terrace. A formal dining room flanked by a stone accent wall flows to an eat-in kitchen, which has a center island with an attached table and top-tier Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. A floating staircase winds its way upstairs, where three en suite bedrooms include a serene primary suite outfitted with a fireside seating area, a private balcony, a bespoke walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath boasting a soaking tub.

    Outdoors, the turf-clad backyard is laced with a variety of citrus trees and hosts a pool and spillover spa notched into a wood sundeck. There’s also a two-car garage, along with a nearby “hidden” staircase that connects you to Lamill Coffee, L&E Oyster Bar, Bar Siesta, and other local hot spots.
