      An Emmy-Winning Comedy Writer Just Listed His 1920s L.A. Home for $6.3 Million

      by

      After a little more than 17 years of ownership, Mike Sweeney has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home in the leafy foothills of Los Feliz, just minutes from Griffith Park and the Greek Theatre.

      The Emmy-winning writer and producer—best known for partnering with comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien on the highly rated 2025 Oscars broadcast, as well as Conan O’Brien Must Go, Conan, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien—is asking $6.3 million for the Italianate-style spread he acquired in 2008 for $3.5 million. Sherri Rogers, Anthony Stellini, and Elisa Ritt of Compass share the listing.

      Originally built in the mid-1920s and known as Villa Palazzetto, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure sits on a walled and gated corner parcel spanning over a third of an acre. Famously occupied in the 1930s by the late Hollywood screenwriter and director Delmer Daves, whose most successful work was the 1959 film A Summer Place, the property has six bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 5,000 square feet across three levels.

      Steps lead up to a hand-carved front door, which opens into a double-height entry foyer that flows to an elegant living room sporting a French stone fireplace and large windows overlooking sweeping views of Downtown L.A. The formal dining room connects to a kitchen outfitted with a white subway tile backsplash, an eat-in island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a U-shaped breakfast banquette set against a bay window. An adjacent media room has French doors spilling out to an alfresco entertaining area, while a coffer-ceilinged library comes with a Juliet balcony.

      The walled and foliage-laced backyard hosts a saltwater pool and spa.

      Three upstairs bedrooms include a secluded primary suite, which has a stately fireplace flanked by built-in window seats, plus a walk-in closet and a bath decked out with dual vanities, a pedestal soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. The lower level, meanwhile, has a guest suite with its own entrance.

      Topping it all off is the lushly landscaped backyard, which is dotted with colorful mosaic tile and offers a heated dining pavilion, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in barbecue, and a saltwater pool and spa. An added bonus: The property is located directly across from the Berendo Stairway, one of L.A.’s storied secret staircases.

      Saints Star Alvin Kamara Leased This $10 Million Colorado Home Over the Summer

      by

      An NFL star hunkered down in this Boulder, Colorado, home all summer long, but it could be yours by the start of winter.

      The $10 million property served as the home base for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara while he trained in Boulder over the summer. The 30-year-old NFL vet is a five-time Pro Bowl player and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year during his first season in the league. Joel Ripmaster at Slifer Smith & Frampton holds the listing.

      A water feature made from a boulder from the Flatirons just outside anchors the kitchen and dining room.

      Amanda Proudfit

      The wood-and-glass abode cuts a striking figure among Colorado’s Flatirons, with the structure actually carved into the slope and mimicking the chunky shapes of the rock formations. Designed by local architect Matt McMullan, the residence is meant to be one with nature, incorporating aspects that nod to all four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. One of the most striking features lies between the kitchen and the dining room, where water runs over a massive boulder from the Flatirons.

      RELATED: A Brand-New $29.8 Million Home in Boulder Comes With Both Indoor and Outdoor Pools

      The emphasis on water continues in a koi pond next to the kitchen. It’s also visible from the floating glass stairwell that leads to the primary bedroom—dubbed the Bird’s Nest, as it’s suspended above the rest of the home. Earth, meanwhile, is evident in the materials used throughout: mahogany ceilings and floors, Jerusalem stone, and wenge wood and ebony macassar millwork. Three fireplaces on the main level, along with the radiant-heated floors, nod to fire, while the cantilevered Pilkington structural glass walls expose the house to the wind and air just outside.

      There are three separate garden terraces, one trellised and set up for alfresco dining.

      Amanda Proudfit

      Sitting as it does amid the raw Mountain West landscape, the abode offers plenty of additional space and amenities for relaxation. Outdoors, there are three separate garden terraces, with one above the garage providing a prime location for grilling and alfresco dining. If you consider yourself more of an indoor animal, the home theater is outfitted with theater recliners for kicking back. And, for overflow guests—or to get away from guests—a total retreat is found in the one-bedroom guesthouse, which has a private entrance, a full kitchen, and even its own garage.

      In total, the property includes five bedrooms and six full baths over 8,427 square feet. An elevator connects all the different levels, with the high-altitude location offering sweeping views of the surrounding community, from downtown Boulder to the university campus to the surrounding Flatirons.

      Dom DeLuise’s Former Pacific Palisades Estate Hits the Market for $21 Million

      by

      The totally reimagined onetime estate of late actor and comedian Dom DeLuise has popped up for sale at $21 million, 16 years after he passed away at age 75.

      Records show The Cannonball Run and Blazing Saddles star acquired the third-acre spread in 1968 for just $103,000 and lived there until his death in 2009. The place subsequently traded hands for the first time in over half a century in late 2021, selling to an entity managed by Jeff Mironer of Provincetown Estates for nearly $6.5 million, per The Real Deal. The developer went on to raze DeLuise’s outdated 1950s house and replace it with the modern mansion now on the market. Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates holds the listing.

      The family room is anchored by an elegant stone fireplace embedded in white oak paneling.

      Completed this year, the new residence offers a total of seven bedrooms and nine baths in more than 10,000 square feet across three levels serviced by an elevator. Elegant European-inspired interiors boast white oak floors and high wood-beam ceilings throughout, plus walls of glass overlooking picturesque canyon vistas. All the furnishings are also available for purchase.

      Tucked away behind gates off Corsica Drive, just minutes from the Riviera Country Club and the Brentwood Country Mart, the structure stuns from the outset with its tumbled natural stone and fire-resistant ACRE siding. A walkway passes through a courtyard framed by heritage olive trees, vintage ceramic pots, and lush gardens, while custom double iron and glass doors open into a double-height foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms.

      A refrigerated wine room can accommodate up to 1,657 bottles of your favorite vintages.

      A hallway with archways on either side flows to the rear of the house, where a fireside family room opens seamlessly to a grassy backyard featuring a barbecue station and pizza oven, a sculptural fire pit, and a pool and inset spa lined with checkered stone tiles. Back inside, a casual dining area connects to a sleek kitchen outfitted with Calacatta Monet honed marble countertops, an eat-in island, a Lacanche range, and a butler’s pantry. One of two laundry rooms leads to an attached three-car garage.

      All the bedrooms are of the en-suite variety, with one of two on the main level currently set up as an office. Four more upstairs include a posh primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a separate sitting area with a balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a bath spotlighted by a Hydro Systems soaking tub. The remaining bedroom on the lower level is joined by a wet bar-equipped recreation area, a 21-seat movie theater, a climate-controlled wine room, and a wellness center with a gym, cold plunge, sauna, and steam and massage rooms.

      Former ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Star Nicole Martin Drops $34 Million on a Coral Gables Mansion

      by

      Insurance attorney Anthony Lopez and anesthesiologist Dr. Nicole Martin, a former cast member on The Real Housewives of Miami, aren’t exactly strangers to big-ticket real estate deals, and the Miami power couple just sealed the deal for a $34 million waterfront spread in Coral Gables. It’s every bit as over the top as you’d imagine.

      The estate is one of only 14 in the ultra-exclusive, guard-gated Gables Estates enclave, which faces Biscayne Bay. The Lopez-Martins’ new digs stretch across 225 feet of pristine shoreline, open views over the water, and plenty of space to park the yacht.

      Built in 2004, the home has already seen some notable names pass through its doors. It was previously owned by Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning, who purchased it back in 2005 when he returned to play for the team after a short stint with the New Jersey Nets.

      The estate combines all the bells and whistles that make daily living comfortable and resort-like. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, while a sprawling, temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for more than 2,700 bottles is a showstopper for serious collectors. Other highlights include two home offices, a game and entertainment room, and a fully equipped gym.

      The couple’s new home doesn’t skimp on function, either; there’s an elevator, a four-car garage, and, essential for life in hurricane country, impact-resistant windows and doors and a full-house generator. 

      The expansive, light-filled living areas flow easily out to a backyard dialed in for Miami living. Expect wide terraces for lounging, a summer kitchen for long dinners under the stars, a pool that sits just steps from the bay, and a private dock and boat lift.

      This isn’t the Lopez-Martins’ first high-profile Miami move. Just weeks ago, they sold their fully reimagined Old Cutler Bay estate in a record-breaking off-market deal valued at $40 million. The buyer was none other than British pop star Robbie Williams, who is relocating with his family to South Florida. Lopez and Martin had picked up the property only a few years earlier, in 2022, for $21.5 million and spent two years gut-renovating it, doubling their investment in the process.

      That sale follows a string of headline-making deals for the couple, including a $44 million transaction with Jeff Bezos’s mother in 2022. Now, with their latest buy in Gables Estates, they’ve secured one of Miami’s most coveted waterfront addresses—and cemented their reputation as serious players in the city’s white-hot ultra-luxury real estate market.

      Comedian Daniel Tosh Is Seeking $12 Million for His Waterside Compound in Lake Tahoe

      by

      Looks like Daniel Tosh is bidding adieu to his swank High Sierra lifestyle. Now up for grabs at a dash under $12 million is the stand-up comedian’s sprawling waterfront estate, which is tucked away between Sunnyside and Tahoe City on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Kristina Bergstrand of Compass holds the listing.

      Records show the former host of the Comedy Central show Tosh.O—he currently hosts a podcast—paid around $7 million for the multi-structure spread back in 2018, when he was seeking a place to unwind with his wife Carly and their two children between grueling cross-country gigs. “Holidays at the lake are the only times I’m not stressed,” Tosh said in a statement. “My in-laws love to visit so having multiple, separate cabins ensured I could maintain my Tahoe tranquility.”

      The four-bedroom, three-bath main upper house was built in 2008.

      Set on a double lot spanning a total of 1.6 acres, the property offers three distinct dwellings introduced by a main residence crafted in 2008 by architect Gary Mckelvey and custom builder Doug Drake. A funicular and a staircase travel down the sloping backyard past two guesthouses before arriving at the estate’s 93 feet of shoreline.

      A paver-clad driveway secured by rustic wood gates leads to a spacious motor court. Garage bays for up to four vehicles flank the portico entry to the four-bedroom, three-bath main house, which is dressed with dark wood shingles, stone accents, red-trimmed dormer windows, and a high-pitched gable roof. Inside, three levels of interiors by the Truckee-based firm High Camp Home are serviced by an elevator and slathered throughout with wood culled from one of the last water-powered mills in Northern California, per the listing.

      All the expected amenities are in play within the primary home: a vaulted great room flaunting a massive rock fireplace, a dining area, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with tritone cabinetry, a huge apron-front sink, and top-of-the-line stainless appliances. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass drink in mesmerizing views of the water, while an entertainment level packs in a game room and a commercial-grade ice cream machine.

      A funicular travels from the main home past a guesthouse and down to a lakeside cabin.

      Two circa-1900s guesthouses have been updated and sit amid pine-laced grounds hosting a hot tub, a fire pit, a bocce court, a barbecue and picnic area, and a series of private ski runs—one green rated, two blue, and a black diamond, plus a chairlift in the form of the funicular. The larger three-bedroom, three-bath middle house has knotty pine paneling, a stone fireplace, and a sky-lit kitchen, while a charming boat storage shed-turned-studio bungalow sports a sleeping loft, a retro kitchenette, and a lakeside deck.

      “The former boat equipment storage shed is now Meema’s cabin and is to die for,” said Bergstrand. “I could live there forever. The French doors that open to the lake, being right on the beach, smell of fresh pine in the air. It feels like summer camp but with all the modern amenities.”

      Christopher Lloyd’s Ocean-View Santa Barbara Retreat Lists for $6.4 Million

      by

      Back in 2017, after they rebuilt and subsequently sold their longtime Montecito home that had been destroyed in a 2008 wildfire, veteran TV and film actor Christopher Lloyd and his wife Lisa doled out $2.5 million for a stark contemporary residence in neighboring Santa Barbara. Though they loved the location, with its picturesque views of the Pacific, Channel Islands, local harbor, and surrounding mountains, they weren’t really feeling the house. So the couple set out to change its entire vibe, working with DesignARC, Arcadia Studio, and artist Patti Grant to transform the place into a “beautiful, private, creative, and peaceful” sanctuary.

      “I wanted the landscape and the interiors to flow together, which wasn’t the case when we purchased it,” said Lisa, a former real estate agent and lifelong design enthusiast who has remodeled more than half a dozen of her own houses. “Now the home is filled with calm colors, warm wood floors, and soft, rounded edges. What was once cold and hard contemporary has become soothing, flowing, and serene.”

      Fast-forward eight years, and the sleekly revamped estate has now returned to the market for nearly $6.4 million. Ron Brand and Arthur Kalayjian of Compass Montecito share the listing.

      The kitchen is outfitted with white oak cabinetry and a marble-topped breakfast bar.

      Originally built in 2006 and since extensively remodeled not once but twice, the property is anchored by a single-level abode with two bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,300 square feet. Warm, tranquil details abound in the form of hardwood floors and Roman clay plaster walls that add depth and texture, while the primary bedroom is now adorned with custom plaster finishes, and its bath sports mitered glass walls overlooking a protected public park.

      Perched on a knoll amid six acres of terraced land, within an exclusive enclave off West Mountain Drive and just a few minutes away from the shops and eateries of Montecito’s Upper and Lower villages, the white stucco structure is hidden away behind gates and lush foliage. The driveway empties out at a brick-clad motor court, with a covered entryway and steps leading to the front door.

       Almost every room of the house opens to patios and gardens overlooking scenic vistas.

      Once inside, a small foyer flows to a sunken fireside living room boasting a soaring wood-beam ceiling dotted with large woven rattan pendant lights and sliding glass doors spilling outside. An adjacent dining area connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with white oak cabinetry, veined-marble countertops, top-tier appliances, a breakfast bar, and an accompanying butler’s pantry.

      Outdoors, the sprawling grounds are laced with bluestone hardscaping, mature olive trees, tall hedges, and numerous alfresco lounging and entertaining terraces. And just across from the main home is a two-car garage, plus a 1,165-square-foot guest cottage with a living/creative space, a bedroom, and two baths.

      “This home has been a special place for us, our sanctuary,” said Lloyd, who’s most known for his iconic roles as eccentric inventor Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future movie franchise and, before that, as quirky driver Jim Ignatowski on the 1970s TV series Taxi. “Lisa and her creative team took great care in every detail, wanting to create a space that feels restorative and peaceful the moment you walk through the door.”
