    This 1940s R.M. Schindler Home in Hollywood Hills Is Back on the Market for $3.3 Million

    It’s been barely a year since Tara Subkoff doled out nearly $2.4 million for a pristine 80-year-old home in Los Angeles designed by revered architect R.M. Schindler. Now the multi-faceted actress, artist, director, and fashion designer is already looking to offload her place in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills with a nearly million-dollar jump in price, asking a speck under $3.3 million.

    Known as the Jacob and Margaret Druckman House after its original owners, the modernist structure was completed in the early 1940s; it offers four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 1,600 square feet of sensitively renovated, split-level living space accented with refinished hardwood floors, ample built-ins, and high wood-beam ceilings dotted with clerestory windows. Vast expanses of glass overlook leafy canyon vistas.

    The galley kitchen features vintage-style appliances and a dining area tucked into a windowed nook.

    Standing out on the main floor is an open-plan great room featuring a living area sporting a decorative red-brick and white-stucco fireplace. An adjacent dining area connects to the pink and mint-green kitchen, which is outfitted with marble countertops, vintage-style appliances, and a breakfast nook with an integrated table and bench seating. Elsewhere is a set of steps leading down to a powder room, along with a guest bedroom that’s currently being used as a media room.

    Three additional bedrooms can be found on the bottom-most level, as well as a den/office and two baths dressed in the same pale hues of the kitchen. Outdoors, the foliage-laced grounds are carved into a hillside parcel spanning just under a quarter of an acre and host an alfresco lounging and dining area warmed by a fireplace and an oval-shaped pool surrounded by a flagstone sundeck.

    Per the listing held by William Baker of the Agency and Lilian Pfaff of Modern California Home, there’s also a newly installed gate and alarm system, plus a two-car garage.

    The 52-year-old Connecticut native is probably best known for founding the art collective and fashion label Imitation of Christ. Also an actress, she’s starred in the films When the Bough Breaks and The Cell. Subkoff previously owned a 1930s Saul Harris Brown-designed streamline moderne home in the Silver Lake neighborhood of L.A. that she sold in December 2023 for $3 million.

    NFL Star Derrick Henry’s Texas Home Is Back on the Market for $1.6 Million

    Looks like “King Henry” has his sights set on a new castle. After announcing plans to move to a larger property in Dallas that can better accommodate his growing family, which includes longtime Texas-born girlfriend Adrianna Rivas and their two daughters, NFL star Derrick Henry has doubled down on his efforts to offload another home in the area he has owned for three years.

    The Baltimore Ravens running back first attempted to sell the abode, purchased by the veteran player for around $1.7 million in spring 2022 while he was still suiting up for the Tennessee Titans, for nearly $1.8 million last year. Now it’s popped up on the market again, this time with a reduced $1.6 million asking price and a new agent, Julie Provenzano of Compass, holding the listing.

    Nestled amid a flat parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the modern stucco and wood-sided structure was built in 2021 in the Inwood Park neighborhood, about six miles from downtown. The two-story property has four bedrooms and an equal number of baths. Roughly 4,200 square feet of open-concept living space features a mix of tile and hardwood floors, 20-foot ceilings, automated shades, and expansive walls of glass.

    Standing out on the main level are the formal living and dining rooms, both of which open via sliding glass doors to a covered patio warmed by a fireplace and turf-clad backyard beyond. Elsewhere is a family room, along with a gourmet kitchen sporting a waterfall-edge quartz island and matching backsplash, top-tier appliances, and a walk-in pantry. A guest suite with its own entrance has been converted into an office.

    A striking floating staircase curves its way upstairs, where three additional bedrooms include a primary suite with a built-in projector for watching movies and a custom closet, plus a luxe bath spotlighted by a spacious black-and-white marble wet room holding a black soaking tub and two-person shower. Rounding it all out is a gated driveway, which leads to a grass-lined motor court flanked by an attached three-car garage.

    Henry fell in love with Dallas while training there with the Titans during the off-season, according to The Wall Street Journal. A Heisman Trophy and National Championship winner at the University of Alabama, he was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Titans, where the 31-year-old Florida native led the league in rushing yards for back-to-back seasons, was named 2020 Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and made several Pro Bowl appearances. He left the team after eight seasons to sign with the Ravens in 2024.

    The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ House Hits the Market for $13.5 Million

    It’s time for this Los Angeles-area manse to keep up with another family.

    The Mediterranean-style digs that served as ground zero for the long-running E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which turned the Kardashian-Jenner clan into reality stars, has just hit the market for $13.5 million, The New York Times reported. The glamorous abode sits in the guard-gated city of Hidden Hills.

    Records show matriarch and “momager” Kris Jenner and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who was then her husband and known as Bruce Jenner, paid $4 million for the property in spring 2010. Her son, Rob Kardashian, has been living in the home for the past several years. Built in the late 1990s and recently updated by celebrity designer Ryan Saghian—complete with all-new furnishings that can be purchased for an additional $400,000—the two-story structure has six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 8,800 square feet.

    Fans of the show will easily recognize the iconic foyer with its bridal staircase and black-and-white tile floor.

    Introducing the abode is a dramatic double-height foyer displaying a black-and-white checkered marble floor and a sweeping bridal staircase. From there, a fireside living area is lined with tall arched windows and French doors, while the formal dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen boasting dual islands, a black La Cornue range, and a butler’s pantry with a frozen yogurt machine.

    The amenities continue with an office and a family room with a wet bar. The posh primary suite, meanwhile, features a fireplace, a private balcony, a separate gym, and a steam shower-equipped bath. Outdoors, the manicured grounds span over an acre and host a pool with a spa and waterfall, an open-air cabana warmed by a fireplace, and several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots. There’s also an attached four-car garage on the premises.

    “This home was an integral part of the show,” listing agent Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California told The New York Times. “But it isn’t just a house that was on TV. It’s a home where a family lived their lives, with good times, bad times, kids growing up, and all kinds of evolution.”

    Jenner decided to sell the residence because she believes the time has come for another family to make their own memories within its walls. “I’ve shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family,” she told the publication, “and I’m excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners.”

    The matriarch, who began filming The Kardashians on Hulu in 2022, has moved on to another residence. She and her daughter Khloe Kardashian currently live in side-by-side homes in Hidden Hills that they purchased a few years ago for $20 million and $17 million, respectively.

    Audrey Hepburn’s Former Switzerland Home Can Be Yours for $21 Million

    While no one can replace Audrey Hepburn, you can now live like the famed Hollywood starlet.

    An 18th-century villa in Switzerland once belonging to the late My Fair Lady actress has landed on the market with Knight Frank for 19 million Swiss francs (or about $20.8 million). Hepburn, who died in 1993 at the age of 63, owned the palatial property from 1963 up until her passing, Bloomberg reported. Less than 10 years later, her sons sold the estate to Katharina Beaujolin and her husband, Jean-Marc Beaujolin, the current chairman of ECH Ltd.

    “The house is called ‘La Paisible,’ which means ‘peaceful place,’ and it really is a peaceful place,” Katharina told Bloomberg, adding that Hepburn was her favorite actress growing up. “It has quite the amazing atmosphere.”

    One of the living rooms in the roughly 10,800-square-foot house.

    David Walls/Knight Frank

    Located in the scenic town of Tolochenaz, roughly a half-hour outside of Geneva, the Grade II-listed mansion is set on over 40 leafy acres and measures approximately 10,763 square feet. Altogether, there are 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms spread across the abode’s three levels. Since the Beaujolins moved in in 2001, they put the place through a sensitive renovation. Some of the changes they made included modernizing and repositioning the kitchen, remodeling the bathrooms, updating the electrical systems, and adding extra guest rooms.

    The kitchen has been updated with modern cabinets, countertops, and appliances.

    David Walls/Knight Frank

    Highlights of the digs include its terra-cotta and oak parquet flooring, in addition to its five fireplaces, two stately staircases, library, and elevator. Rest assured, Hepburn’s legacy isn’t lost: A plaque out front bears the name of the Breakfast at Tiffany’s star. In addition, there are white rosebushes planted in the backyard that the actress received as a 60th birthday gift from Givenchy, Bloomberg reported.

    Outside, you’ll also find a 50-foot heated swimming pool and parking for up to 15 cars. Katharina told the outlet that her family used to throw parties here in the summer for friends and that one of her six sons actually held his 150-person wedding on the grounds. Now that the couple’s children have moved out, the Beaujolins are comfortable parting ways with the oversized property. “We’ve decided to do some downsizing, because it’s just the two of us in this big house, and it felt like the right moment to make a change.”

    Lori Loughlin’s SoCal Estate Has Returned to the Market at a Discounted $16.5 Million

    Almost a year after it first hit the market with a $17.5 million price tag, Lori Loughlin’s Southern California residence in the guard-gated city of Hidden Hills has lingered on the market with no takers. But now the modern farmhouse-style spread has popped up for sale again after a brief absence, this time with a substantially reduced $16.5 million ask. The listing is held by Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate and Marc Shevin of Douglas Elliman.

    The actress, who is probably best known for her turn as Aunt Becky on the long-running TV show Full House, and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli paid $9.5 million for the property back in summer 2020. Built in 2018 but renovated by the couple during their tenure, the two-story structure rests amid a gated parcel spanning over an acre in the coveted Ashley Ridge Estates enclave and offers six bedrooms and nine baths in nearly 12,000 square feet boasting maple floors, soaring ceilings, and sliding glass doors providing seamless indoor-outdoor environs.

    Especially standing out on the main level are a fireside living area resting beneath a striking sky-lit ceiling and a formal dining room sitting across from a climate-controlled wine closet. Other highlights include a family room warmed by a fireplace, which connects via a casual dining space to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances.

    Elsewhere are an office, a movie theater, and a gym, as well as a posh primary suite sporting a marble fireplace, a private balcony, and dual spa-like baths. The amenities continue outdoors, where the picturesque mountain-view grounds are laced with olive trees and hold a pool and spa, a bocce court, a fire pit, and a barbecue area. There’s also an attached four-car garage.

    The living room is centered around a bookmatched marble fireplace stretching to the soaring sky-lit ceiling.

    John Goodman’s Longtime Digs in The Big Easy Can Be Yours for $5.5 Million

    There’s a famous Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong song called “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?” Maybe John Goodman is about to find out.

    More than 50 years after the veteran film, TV, and stage actor first flipped for the Louisiana city during a Mardi Gras trip with a group of his Missouri State frat brothers, then went on to marry a local girl and ultimately settled down there, he’s decided to hand over the keys to the historic Italianate-Greek Revival residence he and his wife Anna Beth have called home for the past 20 years. The asking price is a smidge under $5.5 million, which is around $3.7 million more than the Roseanne and The Conners star paid Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor for the place in an off-market deal back in 2005.

    The chandelier-topped dining room is adorned with hand-painted hardwood floors, crown molding, and a stately fireplace.

    Built in the mid-1800s and known as the Joseph Merrick Jones House, the two-story white wood-sided and green-trimmed structure is nestled amid a corner parcel of land spanning over a quarter of an acre within the sought-after uptown Garden District neighborhood, near the iconic Commander’s Palace restaurant, St. Charles Avenue, and Magazine Street. A total of four bedrooms and five baths are spread across nearly 5,000 square feet of well-preserved living space, which features colorful interiors accented with 14-foot ceilings, intricate plaster medallions, hand-carved millwork, and six fireplaces.

    A gated entry laced with ancient crepe myrtles provides access to the home, which boasts dual wraparound galleries complemented by columns and shuttered floor-to-ceiling windows. A classic entry hallway displaying a traditional staircase and a seating area notched into a bay window flows to a double parlor and a formal dining room with a hand-painted hardwood floor. A living room and an adjacent breakfast nook connect to the cobalt blue kitchen, which is dressed with a hand-stained shiplap ceiling, custom cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, and Wolf appliances.

    An inviting saltwater pool is lined with Mayan lion spray fountains.

    In addition to an office and a sitting room, the upstairs portion of the house holds a spacious primary suite flaunting a wraparound balcony, two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath equipped with a soaking tub and a separate shower. Three other bedrooms include two with their own baths and another that’s currently being used as a dressing room. And outdoors, the hedged grounds are dotted with gardens and host a covered veranda that can be privatized with drapes and a saltwater pool and spa embellished with Mayan lion spray fountains, as well as an attached two-car garage.

    According to listing agent Hyatt Hood of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred, Realtors, the Goodmans are selling because they simply don’t need as much space. “John and Anna Beth have spent the past 20 years raising their family in this beautiful home, and it has been a truly special place for them,” he says. “Now, as empty nesters, they are ready to downsize. Additionally, John’s busy work schedule keeps him traveling between both coasts and beyond. That said, they absolutely love New Orleans and will continue to maintain a home here—the city remains an important part of their lives.”

    The 72-year-old Missouri native and his wife lost another home they purchased in 2007 for $4.6 million in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles to the recent wildfires.

    YouTube Star Jordan Maron Has Traded One Pasadena Home for Another

    Jordan Maron spent the tail end of last year unexpectedly shuffling his Pasadena property portfolio. Around three months after the successful YouTuber and Twitch streamer known as CaptainSparklez doled out $4.5 million for a contemporary spread with a showroom-style garage where he could better display his pricey collection of exotic cars, he wound up selling a hilltop midcentury-modern home about eight minutes away for a speck over $4 million, just $8,000 more than he paid less than a year ago.

    Designed by noted modernist architect Lyman Ennis and completed in the 1950s, Maron’s recently sold post-and-beam house is perched above the Annandale Golf Club amid a gated 1.75-acre parcel in the North Arroyo neighborhood. Inside, the single-level abode features three bedrooms and two baths in a little more than 3,500 square feet boasting terrazzo floors and soaring wood-paneled ceilings throughout. Vast expanses of glass frame picturesque views of the surrounding San Gabriel Mountains.

    A soaring living room in Maron’s recently sold residence steps up to the dining area and kitchen.

    An office sits off the entry foyer, while a fireside living room steps up to a formal dining area, and an adjacent kitchen comes with quartz countertops, dual islands, premium appliances, and a secondary kitchen tucked around the corner. Secluded in its own wing is a primary suite with a raised-hearth fireplace and a spa-inspired bath showcased by a Japanese soaking tub. A seating area leads outdoors, where the grounds are laced with native plantings and hold a curvaceous pool, along with a covered loggia ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

    As for Maron’s newly acquired residence in the city’s Linda Vista enclave, the two-story concrete-hued and green-trimmed structure was built in 2002 by Renato Corzo and has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,500 square feet of updated living space. There’s a living area sporting a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, as well as a formal dining room and a gourmet kitchen adjoining a family room with a mod-style fireplace.

    Other highlights include an office, a sizable primary suite containing a wet bar, and densely wooded grounds spanning nearly an acre and hosting a fire pit and a waterfall-enhanced infinity pool. Of course, there’s also the aforementioned detached garage for the avid car enthusiast.

    Maron, 32, is a Los Angeles native who first gained online fame primarily via streaming his Minecraft gameplay on YouTube. Through the years, he’s garnered more than 4 billion lifetime views and roughly 14 million subscribers across his numerous channels on the platform.
