      Matthew Perry’s Malibu Beach House Hits the Market for $15 Million

      by

      PRICE: $14.95 million
      SIZE: (approx.) 5,500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms

      Matthew Perry spent at least some his Covid-19 lockdown ensconced in the easy-going luxury of his Malibu, Calif., beach house that’s just popped up for sale at $14.95 million. The former Friends star and four-time Emmy nominee, who last appeared on television as Ted Kennedy in the award-winning miniseries The Kennedys After Camelot, surreptitiously purchased the beachfront property in a 2011 off-market deal valued at exactly $12 million.
      Boxy and unassuming from the street, the roughly 5,500-square-foot contemporary home sits on a dry stretch of sand along one of Malibu’s most prestigious streets, and listings held by “Million Dollar Listing” star Josh Flagg of Rodeo Realty and his fashion model turned real estate agent husband Bobby Boyd, also of Rodeo Realty, show the two-story house four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
      A secured entry gate opens to a covered outdoor corridor that winds around to a glass front door that swings opens to a spacious foyer dominated by a muscular, open-tread steel-and-wood floating staircase. Warm wood floors and an open-beam exposed wood ceiling unify the vast, loft-like living and entertaining areas that orbit around a freestanding central fireplace and spill own through vast banks of floor-to-ceiling windows a deep deck that wraps around three sides of the house like a ship. The living room is plenty large enough to accommodate a designer Ping Pong table, while the galley kitchen, completely open to the dining and living areas, features custom cabinets and top-end commercial-style appliances.

      At least one of the three secondary bedrooms has direct access to a private bathroom, and the expansive, ocean- and coastline-view master suite spans the full width of the house with a private sitting room, an over-sized dressing room lined with bespoke wooden wardrobes and a simply designed deluxe bathroom. As in the downstairs living and dining area, gigantic floor-to-ceiling windows slide open to a slim private balcony with meditative horizon views over the ocean. A sizable professional screening room seats eight or ten people on deep-cushioned sofas, and, just outside the front door in a small courtyard that’s been effectively privatized with opaque screening, a small spa is set into exotic wood decking.
      Perry seems increasingly eager to lighten his expensive-to-maintain real estate burdens. (Records show combined property taxes for his two Los Angeles properties exceed $400,000 per year.) Just over three years ago he plunked down $20 million for a sprawling, mansion-sized condo in a super-luxury tower in L.A.’s Century City that he put up for sale just over a year ago amid much publicity and tongue-wagging with a far-too-optimistic $35 million price that was, just a couple of weeks ago, slashed by more than 20 percent to $27 million.

      Inside an Ultra-Private, $22 Million Miami Mansion That Cher Once Called Home

      by

      Do you believe in life after listing?
      There’s reason enough to believe that Cher herself thinks so, as the singer has had no trouble moving on from her former Miami pad, which has just hit the market for $22 million. The Goddess of Pop originally bought the mansion for $1.5 million in 1993. A smart investment, as she sold it for $4.3 million just three years later.
      And while Cher herself hasn’t lived in the place for over 20 years now, it’s only been expanded since—hence the loftier price tag. The property is now 11,460 square feet, with six beds and seven baths. Architecture here is in the Spanish Colonial style, a familiar and fitting look for Miami Beach—the interiors are by renowned French design firm Liaigre.

      Another exterior view. 

      Inside, the double-height entryway and dual staircases offer a grand welcome. Arches and columns lend a stately feel to the space, and large windows that look out to the water blend elements of the indoors and outdoors.

      Since it’s located on the gated La Gorce Island, the home offers the kind of privacy you’d expect for a pop queen—it even has its own dock, plus 158 feet of water frontage. Also, outside is a pool and adjacent pool house, as well as a separate guest house for visitors. Multiple courtyards and fountains make the rest of the property feel like the proper estate that it is.
      The living room.  Engel & Völkers

      As for Cher, well, some of her old digs have fared better on the market than others. The Owlwood Estate, which she once called home, has changed hands multiple times since she originally sold it and is currently on the market for a whopping $115 million. Meanwhile, an old Beverly Hills property of hers has had less luck: While it’s also been bought and sold plenty since her residency, it languished on the market, having originally listed for $85 million before it was chopped down to $48 million.
      The master bedroom.  Engel & Völkers

      There’s no turning back time on this Miami mansion though, which the singer left behind long ago. Interested in being the next owner? Lourdes Alatriste of Engel and Völkers has the listing.

      Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s New $14.7 Million Montecito Compound

      by

      Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have gone exceptionally grand with their California starter house, purchasing a $14.65 million estate in the heart of posh Montecito, the seaside Santa Barbara County enclave that is famously home to a slew of Hollywood heavyweights.
      The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ names do not appear on grant deeds related to the property—records show the estate quietly sold in mid-June to a mysterious trust with a deliberately opaque name, though the trust happens to share a mailing address with the offices of Meghan Markle’s longtime Hollywood business manager.

      Public documents also reveal the buyers secured a $9.5 million mortgage to acquire the 7.4-acre compound, which is securely tucked away on a private, gated street. Despite the unquestionably hefty price tag, it could be argued Meghan and Harry scored the property at a discount of sorts—the seller, low-profile Russian businessman Sergey Grishin, acquired the estate in 2009 for $25.3 million and had attempted to sell it many times over the past decade before finally accepting a $10 million-plus financial loss.

      Built in 2003, the Mediterranean-style main house includes a trove of beige and off-white decor, plus a library, gym, separate wet and dry saunas, an elevator, arcade, game room and home theater. There’s also a detached guesthouse with two bedrooms and bathrooms; altogether, the estate boasts nearly 19,000 square feet of living space with a total of 9 bedrooms and a whopping 16 bathrooms.
      Dated listings note that the property additionally offers a “tea house,” a “children’s cottage,” and exceptionally beautiful manicured grounds that boast tiered rose gardens, century-old olive trees, and tall Italian cypress trees that likely cost a small fortune to maintain. A full-size tennis court, lap-lane swimming pool, and a notably elaborate built-in children’s playset are among the numerous other outdoor amenities.
      Meghan and Harry, who first moved stateside in early 2020, previously resided in a fortified compound owned by Tyler Perry, whom they met through mutual friend Oprah Winfrey.
      Montecito may be located a full two hours northwest of downtown L.A. by car, but celebrities have flocked to the area in recent years—the neighborhood’s laid-back and mostly paparazzi-free atmosphere provides a welcome retreat from the hectic hustle of Hollywood and its surrounding environs. Current area residents include Gwyneth Paltrow, Ellen DeGeneres, Ariana Grande, and—perhaps most famously—Oprah Winfrey herself, whose nearly 70-acre “Promised Land” compound qualifies as one of Southern California’s most lavish estates.
