      Rebel Wilson Lists in L.A., Sydney Sweeney Scoops Up Florida Estate, and More Celebrity Deals

      Back in spring 2016, Rebel Wilson doled out nearly $3 million for a traditional Los Angeles home and went on to convert the garage into a workout space, fill a built-in wine display with awards, and decorate the living spaces with memorabilia from her films, including a skirt from Pitch Perfect.
      Now the Aussie actress has decided to try her hand at selling the West Hollywood digs she’s used as an office and meeting spot for the past eight years, asking $4.15 million. The residence is being marketed by Million Dollar Listing star Tracy Tutor of Douglas Elliman.
      Tucked away behind gates and high hedges on less than a quarter-acre parcel within the Fairfax District, the creamy wood-sided structure was built in 2015 and features a little more than 4,400 square feet over two levels adorned throughout with hardwood floors and high ceilings.
      Especially standing out is a gourmet kitchen outfitted with a sink-equipped island, top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook flanked by a built-in buffet sporting a wine fridge. An adjoining family room displays a coffered ceiling and fireplace, along with French doors spilling out to a covered terrace.

      In addition to an office where she penned much of her autobiography “Rebel Rising,” five bedrooms include a primary suite with a fireplace, a private balcony, a mini-bar, and a walk-in closet. A luxe bath has dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower; and outdoors, there’s a saltwater pool and spa in the fenced backyard and an attached two-car garage out front.

      Per The Wall Street Journal, the 44-year-old actress is planning to downsize to a smaller or more conventional office space because she is spending more time at home with her 1-year-old daughter Royce and her fiancée, clothing-brand founder Ramona Agruma.
      Wilson, who is currently writing, directing, and starring in the upcoming musical movie The Deb, maintains a primary residence in Hollywood Hills that she paid $2.2 million for in 2014. She also has homes in New York City, London, and Sydney, where she plans to put a spare penthouse up for auction later this month.

      Sydney Sweeney Sails Into Coastal Florida Hideaway
      Sydney Sweeney is all about the Florida Keys lifestyle. The Euphoria and Anyone But You star recently plunked down $13.5 million for a sprawling waterfront estate in Summerland Key, where she’s been spotted be-bopping around the crystalline waters on an inflatable banana and has reportedly purchased a cute-as-a-button $70,000 sky-blue Fiat Jolly so she can tool around town in style. The nearly 1.4-acre spread, known as Tarpon Ranch, is anchored by a 7,700-square-foot home that has six bedrooms and seven baths. The great room has a walnut bar, the kitchen’s countertops are embedded with nautilus shells, and there’s a huge room devoted to crafting. Ten-foot mahogany-trimmed glass doors open the entire house to the pool and water. Other notable features include a 520-bottle wine room, a 330-gallon aquarium, two boat lifts, an outdoor kitchen, and a heated and cooled saltwater pool with a competition-length swim lane.
      Sweeney also has a $3 million Tudor-style home in the Westwood area of L.A. that she picked up in 2021, and last year, she plunked down $6.2 million—a quarter million above the asking price—for a tear-down residence in Brentwood.

      ‘Laguna Beach’ Alum Kristin Cavallari Seeks $8 Million Profit on Her Nashville Digs
      Back in spring 2020, shortly after separating from her now-ex-husband—former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler—Kristin Cavallari doled out just over $3 million for a sprawling Nashville-area bachelorette pad. Now, a little over four years later, the reality TV star-turned-entrepreneur is hoisting the property back on the market, asking for a substantially higher $11 million. And though that’s a whopping $8 million more than she originally paid for the farmhouse-style spread, Cavallari did undertake an extensive interior renovation during her tenure. She also added a few personal touches, like a pool and spa, a greenhouse, a chicken coop, and beehives. As for the 2016-built structure, it’s tucked away on a woodsy 28-acre parcel in the affluent Franklin neighborhood pocket and has four bedrooms and five baths in nearly 6,800 square feet of chic, three-level living space.
      There’s also a barn and a 3,000-square-foot guest cottage, plus glitzy amenities ranging from a game room to a wellness center equipped with a gym and a sauna. Other standout features include a living room with custom built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace and a sleekly designed kitchen outfitted with a mosaic tile backsplash, an eat-in island, top-notch appliances, and a breakfast nook, as well as a sumptuous primary suite flaunting a showroom-style closet with a floor-to-ceiling shoe wall.

      Sean Hannity Quickly Finds Buyer for Long Island Estate
      Barely a week after he put it up for grabs, Sean Hannity’s longtime residence in the Long Island enclave of Centre Island has already been sold fully furnished amid a bidding war to an apparent fan of the Fox News star. The all-cash, $13 million-plus deal was a big win for the conservative political commentator, who paid $8.5 million for the place 16 years ago, back in spring 2008. That’s a new record for the fastest home sale over $10 million in the area, per Shawn Elliott, who listed the property with his son Zachary Elliott, both of Nest Seekers International.
      Nestled alongside Oyster Bay, which feeds into the Long Island Sound, the 6-acre waterfront estate features a New England-style home boasting seven en-suite bedrooms and nine baths in almost 11,000 square feet. There’s also a pool, a tennis court, a par-3 golf course, and a separate putting green on the premises, as well as access to 500 feet of shoreline and an 81-foot private dock. Other amenities include a living room with French doors spilling out to a covered terrace warmed by a firepit, a snazzy blue-hued wet bar, and a fireside primary suite boasting a balcony, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a built-in soaking tub, and a glass-encased steam shower.
      According to Adweek, a fully equipped studio can be found elsewhere within the house. Hannity, 62, recently announced he had made a permanent move from New York to the “free state of Florida.” He is already broadcasting the network’s Hannity program and The Sean Hannity Show on iHeartRadio from studios in the Sunshine State’s affluent Palm Beach community, where he owns a $5.3 million oceanfront townhouse.

      Richard Pryor’s Former L.A. Estate Sells
      After first hitting the open market three months ago with a $4.2 million price tag, Rashard Mendenhall has officially offloaded his home in the Sherwood Forest community of Northridge for $3.6 million—or $1.1 million more than the former NFL player-turned-Hollywood writer originally paid. The one-time Pittsburgh Steelers running back bought the 2.2-acre estate for $2.5 million in spring 2017. Before that, the property was owned from the mid-1970s to ’89 by comedian Richard Pryor, who notoriously “set himself on fire” there while freebasing cocaine. Sold for $940,000 and subsequently destroyed by the Northridge earthquake, the home has since been rebuilt into a hacienda-style estate featuring 9,000 square feet spread across several structures.
      In addition to a four-bedroom, four-bath main house spotlighted by amenities like game and billiard rooms, there’s also a guesthouse, a pool house, a dance studio/gym, an office, a children’s playhouse, a three-car garage, and a kennel. Rounding it all out: resort-like grounds boasting a waterfall-fed pool and spa, a barbecue pavilion, a tennis court, a putting green, a citrus grove, a vegetable garden, and parking space for over 25 vehicles. The legal horse property, known as Hacienda de los Suenos, was listed by Neil McDermott and Beate Kessler of Hilton & Hyland. More

      Hilary Swank’s Manhattan Condo Lands on the Market for $6.6 Million

      by

      Dining hotspots like Le B. and Sant Ambroeus line the cobblestone streets of New York’s West Village, but the historic district is also home to a fashionable crowd of Hollywood A-listers, including the likes of two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank. However, it looks like the neighborhood will soon have one less Oscar-winning resident because the Colorado-based Freedom Writers star just placed her Big Apple pied-à-terre up for grabs for $6.6 million. Swank purchased the condo in 2009 for about $3.65 million, according to records, and initially tried to sell in 2022 and 2023 for $7.25 million.

      Esteemed architect Robert A.M. Stern is behind the 2009-built Superior Ink condominium development that houses the unit. Set on the 16th floor with unobstructed views of New York City landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Hudson River, the sophisticated residence measures in at 1,441 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Chris Kann and Jennifer Ireland of The Corcoran Group hold the listing.

      Reclaimed wood planks add rustic charm to the sleek, open-plan living space.

      Guillaume Gaudet

      The condo’s intimate layout features floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding rooftops. Details like chevron flooring, reclaimed wood accent walls, and arched window frames come into focus from the main living area. Modern appliances like a gas-range stovetop and stainless-steel oven are featured in the custom-outfitted kitchen, alongside a large island. 

      The primary bedroom isn’t particularly large but offers plush silk carpeting and breathtaking views of the West Village and beyond, too. The size is made up for with a dressing area, walk-in closet, and spa bath that includes a waterfall shower encased in glass and a soaking tub. The secondary bedroom, set across from a laundry closet, offers guests and family access to their own bath as well. The moody space, dressed in black and outfitted as a home office and study, features built-in floating shelves, modern light fixtures, and, like every other room, a stunning city view.

      The primary bedroom has a dreamy view of the Empire State Building.

      Guillaume Gaudet

      Swank’s condo is the highest two-bedroom unit in the building before the penthouse, and its new owner will gain access to the 17-story tower’s gym, yoga and Pilates studio, party room with kitchen, screening room, and bike storage room. A full-time doorman and concierge service, as well as an on-site garage with valet parking, add to the allure.

      Florence Nightingale’s Childhood Home Just Listed for $4.8 Million

      by

      Florence Nightingale famously wrote, “It breaks my heart to leave Lea Hurst.” Now, the same country estate in the U.K. where the nurse and statistician grew up is looking for its next owner.

      Lea Hurst, a Grade II-listed home in Derbyshire, has hit the market for £3.75 million (or roughly $4.8 million) with England’s Blue Book Agency. According to the listing, Nightingale’s wealthy father, William Nightingale (née Shore), inherited the historic property from his great-uncle in 1815. At the time, the property had a 17th-century farmhouse, which was transformed into the grandiose Elizabethan-style dwelling seen today. 

      When the Nightingales relocated to Embley Park in Hampshire in 1825, they kept Lea Hurst as a summer house, and the estate remained in the family until 1946. Beginning in the mid-1950s, the estate served as a residence for retired nurses and later operated as a nursing home under the Royal Surgical Society until 2004. Nightingale, who died in 1910 at the age of 90, is best remembered for founding the world’s first professional nursing school in London.

      The current owner, Peter Kay, snagged the property in 2011 and spent the next three years restoring the place to its former glory, including recreating the original Victorian gardens. The Kay family has even gathered historic letters written by Nightingale, along with old photographs, drawings, and furniture connected to the house and the Nightingale clan. 

      “It has been a great pleasure and privilege to have owned the Lea Hurst estate, in Derbyshire’s beautiful Peak District, for the past 13 years,” Kay said in a statement. “We were drawn to Lea Hurst by its grand early Victorian gothic architectural styling and its stunning position overlooking the Derwent Valley. But it was the fact that this house was once the beloved home of one of our most important historical figures, Florence Nightingale, that made this an irresistible purchase for me.” 

      The formal dining room features a stone fireplace and original wood floors.

      Blue Book Agency

      The 13-bed abode sits on over 19 picturesque acres, with Derwent Valley on one side and mature parkland on the other. The home itself is entered via a gothic arched front door, which opens up to a grand reception hall decked out with high ceilings and flagstone flooring. Some of the standout spaces include a formal drawing room with original wooden floorboards, a wood-burning carved chimney, antique mirrored glass, and lots of bookshelves. The ground floor also holds a formal dining room, a butler’s pantry with built-in glazed cabinets, and a library where Nightingale was formerly homeschooled by her father. 

      The home has 13 total bedrooms.

      Elsewhere, you’ll find a revamped chef’s kitchen with limestone flooring, a large island, granite counters, and a breakfast area. From here, you can access an outdoor dining terrace or scope out the game room, which has been kitted out with a billiards table. The upstairs holds all the bedrooms, including the primary, which features an original stone fireplace, an adjoining dressing room, and an ensuite bath. Interestingly, the double bedroom was personally used by Nightingale when she returned from caring for the British soldiers during the Crimean War.  

      “The most satisfying thing for us has been turning the house back into a family home for the first time since Florence and her sister Parthenope were running around here in the 1820s,” added Kay. “Our youngest two children were born in the house. It has been a wonderful place for our children to grow up in.”

      A Ritzy South Florida Penthouse Sells to Local Philanthropists for $17.3 Million

      by

      It’s not Billionaire Bunker, but it’s still pretty spiffy! After seeking a pied-à-terre in South Florida to replace their $87 million Indian Creek mansion that just went to Jeff Bezos, retired banker Javier Holtz and his wife Andria have settled on a swanky Piero Lissoni-designed penthouse at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach.

      The couple’s 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, seven-bath spread sold to Bezos as part of an off-market deal in late May, adding to two other waterfront estates the billionaire Amazon founder recently picked up on the exclusive man-made barrier island known as Billionaire Bunker for a total of roughly $234 million. In turn, the Holtzes doled out $17.3 million for a fully furnished residence, which spans the top floor of the building, an eight-story luxury condo and villa development currently occupied by Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, MLB Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein.

      As first reported by The Real Deal, the seller was an LLC tied to James and Amy Dieterich of White Plains, N.Y. Originally listed for nearly $20 million in December 2023, the ritzy pad went to the wealthy philanthropists at an impressive discount; though it’s still around $2 million more than the Dieteriches paid for the place over three years ago, back in early 2021.

      A formal dining room sits next to a floor-to-ceiling wine cabinet.

      Once they make themselves at home in their new four-bedroom, five-bath digs, the Holtzes will enjoy almost 6,000 square feet of living space boasting sleekly designed interiors complemented by blonde hardwood floors and high ceilings, plus floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and a wraparound balcony providing sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. Glitzy amenities include an office, a custom wine cabinet, a built-in barbecue station, and a pool and spa flanked by a street art mural, along with access to a climate-controlled garage and a 40-foot boat slip.

      Among the other highlights: a slatted-wall entry foyer adorned with a pedestal displaying a colorful sculpture. There’s also a glass-lined great room hosting a formal seating area that connects to an entertainment space on the other side via a bespoke TV console, a spacious dining room, a family room, and an eat-in kitchen outfitted with an island and top-tier appliances. An opulent master retreat comes complete with a walk-in closet, a luxe bath sporting an enclosed wet room holding a soaking tub and a rainfall shower, and a separate lounging space leading out to a private patio with a hot tub.

      The primary bedroom’s separate lounge area opens to a private patio with a hot tub.

      Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities, courtesy of a hefty $12,753 monthly HOA charge, which include a concierge, a roof deck hosting a pool and cabanas, a meditation garden, a spa and fitness center, and a private marina.

      Cuban-born Holtz is the retired chairman and CEO of Marquis Bank, which was sold to Professional Bank in 2020. Also a son of the late Abel Holtz, a Miami civic leader and multimillionaire founder of Capital Bank, and his widow Fana, Javier and his wife Andria are widely known for their support of local institutions like the Jackson Health System, where a children’s hospital is named for his father.

      The Penthouse 1 listing was held by Grace Dieterich of Coldwell Banker, with Andrew Holtz and Nancy Batchelor of Compass representing the buyers.

      Meghan Trainor’s Spare L.A. Home Hits the Market for $12 Million

      by

      Now that Meghan Trainor has purchased DJ Zedd’s rockstar-worthy mansion in the Los Angeles enclave of Encino for just over $17.1 million, the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter’s other San Fernando Valley home has unsurprisingly popped up for sale, listed with Justin P. Huchel of Carolwood Estates.

      Trainor, known for smash pop music hits like Lips Are Moving and All About That Bass, is asking nearly $12 million for the glitzy digs, which she and her husband, Spy Kids actor Daryl Sabara, paid rapper TMG Fresh $6.6 million for around three-and-a-half years ago, back in late 2020.

      Originally built in 1998 but fully renovated from top to bottom during Trainor’s tenure, the white stucco structure is sequestered behind tall gates and hedges and features six bedrooms and eight baths in a little more than 14,100 square feet of multi-level living space. Also on the premises is a two-story detached guesthouse, which sports a gym on the bottom floor, plus a bedroom, a bath, a kitchen, and a living room up top.

      Among the main-level highlights is an entry foyer boasting a double staircase, which flows to a pair of formal living rooms. A fireside family room connects to a gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with a duo of islands, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying dining area that has sliding glass doors spilling out to the backyard; elsewhere is an office space and a guest bedroom with its own bath.

      The amenities continue upstairs, where five additional en-suite bedrooms include a sumptuous master retreat flaunting custom glass doors opening to a separate fireside lounge area with access to a private patio, along with two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath spotlighted by dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a marble-clad shower. A lower-level recording studio with its own entrance is also decked out with a kitchenette and a bath, while a top-floor bonus space is currently being used as a playroom.

      As for the park-like grounds, they span just over an acre and host a new swimming pool with a spa, a waterslide, and a waterfall, as well as a firepit, an al fresco dining area, a sports court, a mini-putting green, and an elaborate children’s play space. Also on the premises are an expansive motorcourt and a carport that can accommodate up to 10 vehicles.

      In addition to the just-purchased and for-sale homes in Encino, the couple recently splashed out $3.1 million for a newly built modern farmhouse-style home also in the area. More

      Actor Tony Hale’s Cozy L.A. Retreat Is Up for Grabs at $2.6 Million

      by

      After seven-plus years of ownership, Emmy-winning actor Tony Hale has decided to part ways with his “cozy, sit-by-the-fire refuge” in Los Angeles. Records show the Arrested Development and Veep star has stuck a nearly $2.7 million price tag on the charming Nantucket-inspired ranch house, which is tucked away in the foothills of Studio City.

      Though that’s around a million more than he and his makeup artist wife Martel paid for the property back in 2016, the couple did completely remodel the premises during their tenure in collaboration with Martin & Brockett designer Jason Martin. Described in marketing materials as a “picture perfect traditional hideaway” and featured in Architectural Digest, the 1930s house offers two bedrooms, two full baths, and a powder room in a little more than 2,400 square feet of modern yet inviting living space adorned throughout with a mix of hardwood and slate stone floors, bay windows, and French doors leading outside. There’s also a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse and a detached two-car garage.

      The window-lined living room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace.

      Gates and high hedges front the creamy stucco and brick-accented structure, which is perched atop almost one-third acres of land overlooking picturesque city lights and mountain views. Inside, an entry foyer flows to a spacious light-filled living room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, and a kitchen outfitted with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a subway-tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, a six-burner Wolf range, and an accompanying breakfast nook sporting a built-in window seat.

      The duo of en-suite bedrooms includes a primary retreat boasting a covered deck warmed by a fireplace, as well as a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Elsewhere are a hidden bar, a wine cellar, and a laundry room, plus secluded turf-clad grounds laced with fruit trees and hosting numerous al fresco lounging and entertaining spots enhanced by a bar and barbecue setup and a firepit. Adding to the home’s allure are an alarm system, solar panels, and even a tree swing.

      A native of New York, the 53-year-old actor and comedian first gained notoriety as Buster Bluth in the Fox series Arrested Development and went on to win two “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series” Emmys for his portrayal as personal aide Gary Walsh on HBO’s Veep. Most recently, Hale can be heard as the voice of Fear in Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2, a sequel to the Oscar-winning 2015 animated film.

      Gwyneth Paltrow Lists in L.A., Milla Jovovich Snags an NBA Star’s House, and More Celebrity Deals

      by

      Published on June 6, 2024

      Now that Gwyneth Paltrow’s custom-built mansion in Santa Barbara’s posh seaside Montecito enclave has finally come to fruition, the Oscar-winning actress and lifestyle guru has decided to lighten her SoCal real estate portfolio, having stuck a nearly $30 million price tag on her longtime Los Angeles home in the Lower Mandeville area of Brentwood.
      Though that’s a whopping $20 million or so more than the Goop CEO and her ex-husband Chris Martin of Coldplay fame paid for the 1950s spread almost 12 years ago, back in spring 2012, Paltrow did extensively renovate the premises during her ownership. According to The Wall Street Journal, she added a one-bedroom guesthouse boasting a climate-controlled wine cellar, an office, a gym, a game room, and a movie theater. There’s also an apartment resting atop the garage.
      Nestled on a parcel spanning roughly two-thirds of an acre and described in marketing materials as “Southern Transitional,” the Windsor Smith-designed house features eight bedrooms and 11 baths in a little more than 12,700 square feet of single-level living space boasting reclaimed wood floors and patterned stonework throughout.
      Highlights include a voluminous living room with French doors leading out to a backyard hosting a plunge pool, as well as a bookshelf-lined family room and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, a breakfast nook, double cooktops and ranges, plus a wood-burning oven. Elsewhere is a secluded primary wing hosting dual baths.

      Paltrow has shared the digs with her husband, writer-producer Brad Falchuk, since they were wed in 2018. The couple, who have four grown children between them, now plan to split their time between their homes in Montecito and Amagansett, N.Y., along with a potential new dwelling in L.A.
      The residence, which sits right next door to a modern farmhouse-style spread that was reportedly just purchased by rapper and songwriter Kendrick Lamar for more than $40 million, is listed by Lea Porter of The Beverly Hills Estates.

      NFL Quarterback Tyrod Taylor Tosses His Georgia Home on the Market for $5 Million
      Tyrod Taylor has officially hoisted his swanky estate in the Roswell suburb of Atlanta up for sale. The New York Jets quarterback acquired the residence for $2.4 million a little over five years ago, back in spring 2019, and now it’s returned to the market with a $5 million ask.
      Originally built in 2016 and fully remodeled during Taylor’s tenure in collaboration with Infinite Home and The Chalice by Ashleigh Chalice, the brick-clad structure features seven bedrooms and 10 baths in a little more than 15,000 square feet of multi-level living space boasting an elevator, six fireplaces, a fully loaded guest apartment, a billiards room, a humidor, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. Other posh amenities can be found amid the gated and landscaped grounds, which span just over 2 acres and host a fire-pit, a sports court, and a waterfall-enhanced pool and spa.

      Additional standout features include a double-height entry foyer displaying a glass and steel-framed wine cellar, a wood-paneled library/office, and a family room holding a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and French doors spilling out to a lanai with a barbecue station. An adjacent gourmet kitchen is furnished with custom cabinetry, an eat-in island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook, while a sumptuous primary retreat flaunts a fireplace, a mini-bar, dual showroom-style closets, and a luxe bath outfitted spotlighted by a fireside soaking tub and a steam shower.
      Originally selected in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, the 34-year-old Virginia native recently rejoined the Jets in March. He also launched the luxury streetwear brand DIALLO alongside Dex Robinson.

      An NBA Player’s Hidden Hills Mansion Finally Sells to Milla Jovovich
      Ben Simmons has officially offloaded his Hidden Hills residence via auction for a smidge over $12 million, or a substantial $5.4 million less than the NBA All-Star paid for the place three years ago, back in spring 2021.
      Records reveal the buyer is Resident Evil actress Milla Jovovich and her English director/producer husband Paul W.S. Anderson. After languishing on the market since May 2022, initially with a hefty $23 million ask, the listing price was reduced several times before the house finally sold to the couple at a substantial discount.
      Resting at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, amid a gated and olive tree-laced parcel spanning 1.5-acres, the home was built in 2021 by Nobel LA in the trendy modern farmhouse style, complete with a striking exterior hewn from vertical reclaimed wood siding and charcoal-hued brick. A total of seven bedrooms and eight baths are sprawled across 12,000 square feet of living space, with amenities including two pools, a guesthouse, a gym, and a three-car garage.

      Usher Lists Celeb-Pedigreed L.A. House for $3.8 Million
      For the past two years, music superstar Usher has owned a Hollywood Hills estate he purchased for $3.4 million from London-born model/actress sisters Cara and Poppy Delevingne. Now the OMG and Yeah! crooner has flipped the midcentury residence back up for sale with a $400,000 jump in price, asking $3.8 million.
      Originally built in the mid-1950s and occupied for more than a decade before the Delevingne sister’s tenure by Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto, the premises have been remodeled through the years and include five bedrooms and four baths in roughly 4,000 square feet of two-level living space. There’s also a studio and a detached two-car garage.
      Hidden away on a street-to-street parcel spanning over a quarter of an acre, the white stucco structure greets with walls and gates. Once inside, an upper-level entry flows to a formal living room displaying a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and walls of windows and a formal dining room sporting a bay window. A gourmet kitchen is outfitted custom cabinetry, stone countertops, an eat-in island, and top-tier Bertazzoni appliances, and one of two primary suites has sliding glass doors spilling out to a wraparound balcony.
      There’s another oversized primary bedroom on the lower level, along with a bonus room that comes complete with a wet bar-equipped lounge area that opens to palm tree-laced grounds hosting a lagoon-style pool, a private spa, a fire-pit, a built-in barbecue, and a tree-shaded al fresco dining deck.
