    Artist Ed Ruscha’s Onetime L.A. Compound Just Listed for $4.6 Million

    by

    Back in 1987, iconic anti-pop artist Edward “Ed” Ruscha doled out $2.6 million for a ranch house in the Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood. He and his wife, Danica, went on to acquire the home next door when it came up for sale—to avoid having it torn down and replaced with what Ruscha called a “three-story Swiss Tudor Pop Gothic”—and then engaged architectural designer Morgan Livingston to help combine the two existing 1950s structures into a seamless live/work compound that was later featured in the pages of Architectural Digest.

    The couple eventually sold the entire spread in the early 2000s for $1.95 million to a creative couple, who in turn transferred the place in 2011 for $2.5 million to Little Minx founder and president Rhea Scott, a film and commercial producer most known for her work on music videos for everyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Madonna. Now, 14 years later, the artistic property has returned to the market, this time at a speck under $4.7 million. Frank Langen of Compass holds the listing.

    A vaulted fireside great room with plenty of natural light is the perfect spot for displaying art.

    Set behind gates on a corner parcel spanning almost two acres and faced with energetic murals, the residence features a total of four bedrooms and six baths sprawled across 6,350 square feet of single-level living space connected by a central great room boasting a 14-foot-tall beamed ceiling, oversized windows, and a fireplace.

    An eye-catching Dutch door swings open into an entry foyer, which flows to a bookshelf-lined library, a glass-encased dining room, and a large kitchen sporting zigzag-patterns painted on pale hardwood floors, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a fireside sitting area alongside a breakfast nook. A vaulted, pink-hued primary suite donning the same floors found in the kitchen has French doors spilling out to a patio.

    In addition to a meditation studio and a one-bedroom guesthouse, the palm tree-dotted grounds also host numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining, plus a kidney-shaped pool with a diving board, a fire pit, a treehouse, and a cactus garden.

    Ruscha, a Nebraska native whose pieces have brought in prices upwards of $30 million, currently maintains a substantial Southern California real estate portfolio that includes two homes in the Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills, as well as a house in Malibu’s Point Dume neighborhood, a gigantic studio complex in Culver City, and several hundred acres of vacant land in the Mojave Desert, near Joshua Tree.

    As for Scott, who happens to be the daughter of legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott, she’s also simultaneously selling a restored 1920s Spanish retreat in West Hollywood listed for $2 million.

      Adriana Lima’s Ultra-Secure L.A. Home Uses Facial Recognition Tech. It Can Be Yours for $16 Million.

      by

      Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers, are parting ways with their high-security home in L.A.’s tony Brentwood neighborhood, listing the 7,400-square-foot residence for a speck under $16 million.

      Designed by Gispan Design with interiors by Anthony Barsoumian, the two-story abode is shielded behind a high wall, custom gates, and mature hedging on one of the widest lots in the area, with an impressive 120 feet of street frontage. Smoked glass adds an additional layer of privacy. What truly sets the home apart isn’t its sleek and pared-back modern design, however, but rather its fortress-level security system. After acquiring the property about three years ago for $12.35 million, Lima and Lemmers invested heavily in upgrades, installing automated perimeter beams, AI-powered cameras that can recognize familiar and, of course, unfamiliar faces, and a 24/7 armed patrol service.

      The five-bedroom, seven-bath main residence is joined by a detached guesthouse with its own bedroom and bath, bringing the total to six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The interiors feature open-plan living areas with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, anchored by a dual-island chef’s kitchen with Miele built-ins, plus a discreet secondary prep kitchen with a Wolf range and walk-in pantry. A climate-controlled wine display, a private home theater upgraded with more than $100,000 in professional-grade AV equipment, and a resort-style backyard with a pool, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen are additional highlights.

      The second-floor primary suite includes a private terrace with a fireplace and a custom walk-in closet outfitted with key-card–access drawers for securing valuables. Each guest bedroom is en suite, with custom cabinetry and ample natural light. The property also offers a sports court and a gated drive with room for six cars. The custom and carefully curated furnishings and the collectible light fixtures throughout the home are available for purchase upon separate negotiation.

      Lima and Lemmers told The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, that the decision to sell was tied to work commitments in New York and Europe. “Too much of our personal time was taken away by being on the other side of the country and longer travels,” the couple explained.

      Compass agent Paul Salazar, who holds the listing alongside Kyle Amicucci and Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates, noted that demand in Brentwood remains strong. “It’s rare to find a lot this wide north of Sunset, 120 feet of frontage, so the rooms feel extra open, and the backyard gets amazing afternoon light with its west-facing orientation,” Salazar says. “It’s the perfect mix of space, sunshine, style, and peace of mind.”

      This Designer’s Bespoke $26.5 Million L.A. Home Has Olive Trees, a Sports Court, and a Spa

      by

      In May 2020, designer Cory DeFrancisco doled out $7.2 million for an avocado-hued, Mediterranean-style home in Los Angeles that was built way back in the 1980s. Though he liked its overall structure and bones, the place needed a ton of modifications to make it suitable for himself, his wife Catherine, and their two sons. So, the owner and principal of Muskoka Living set out to craft a family oasis from the ground up—one that would seamlessly mesh refinement and comfort.

      What emerged in 2022 amid a desirable tree-lined street in L.A.’s tony Brentwood Park neighborhood was a striking abode that not only serves as a de facto showroom for the high-end furniture, lighting, and accessory business DeFrancisco owns and operates, but also has a separate pool house that doubles as a hangout for children and guests alike.

      The living room has an eye-catching fireplace and sliding glass doors opening out to a terrace.

      “We saw this house as where our boys would finish out school; a welcoming home where they’d bring their friends, with a big yard where we could play catch every night,” DeFrancisco told Luxe Interiors + Design in a 2024 article. “And we wanted something airy, light and calming in terms of aesthetics, colors and textures.”

      Now, a little more than five years later, DeFrancisco has chosen to give up the keys to his ultra-bespoke residence, placing it on the market with Blair Chang and LeAnne Thrasher-Chang of The Agency for $26.5 million.

      The kitchen features a curving eat-in island and an accompanying dining area.

      Mike Kelley

      Nestled beyond walls and gates on an extra-wide lot spanning almost half an acre, the off-white reclaimed brick structure boasts seven en suite bedrooms (each with a private terrace) and seven baths across 9,000 square feet of two-level living space rife with alluring details. Think lovely wire-brushed and fluted paneling, rustic oak floors, nearly 13-foot ceilings, custom millwork, arched doorways, and tailor-made furnishings and decor.

      Stunning from the outset is a walkway of Italian black granite pavers that leads to a welcoming porch and glassy front doors. Inside, highlights include a living room anchored by a curving white oak and fluted limestone fireplace and glass doors spilling outside, as well as a formal dining space. A fireside family room flows to the kitchen, which is outfitted with pale oak cabinetry, a La Cornue range, an eat-in island topped with Calacatta Reclusa marble, and a dining area flanked by a wet bar.

      A greenery-encased outdoor space is decorated with Muskoka Living furniture.

      Elsewhere is an office, a gym, and an upstairs primary suite showcased by a luxe bath sporting a spacious wet room incorporating a soaking tub and shower. Topping it all off: the picturesque Santa Barbara-meets-East Coast grounds, which are laced with olive and citrus trees and host a pool and spa beside the aforementioned poolside guesthouse, plus a turf-clad sports court and a finished three-car garage.

      An Oscar-Winning Art Director Just Listed His 1920s L.A. Home for $4.8 Million

      by

      It’s officially a wrap for Rick Heinrichs, who has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home in a prime enclave of Brentwood after a little more than two decades of ownership.

      The acclaimed production designer and art director—best known for partnering with Tim Burton on films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and Sleepy Hollow, for which he won an Oscar—is asking $4.75 million for the Spanish-style spread he and his wife Dawn originally acquired in 2002 for $2 million. Lauren Ravitz of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties and Shelton Wilder of Christie’s International Real Estate share the listing.

      Large windows in almost every room bathe the home in natural light.

      The stucco and terracotta-roof structure, perched atop a two-parcel knoll spanning nearly half an acre, was built in the late 1920s and offers five bedrooms and six baths in roughly 4,500 square feet. The historic yet modernized living spaces span three levels and boast a mix of hardwood and tile floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, plaster walls, glass doorknobs, vintage light fixtures, and interior doors crafted from solid wood.

      Steps lead up to a centrally based turret, where the front door opens into an entry foyer that flows to a sunken living room sporting a hand-crafted stone fireplace, built-in shelving, and large casement windows overlooking the treetops stationed on both sides. Other highlights include a coffered-ceiling dining room, which connects to an updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, custom glass-front cabinetry, top-tier stainless appliances, a breakfast nook, and access to an ocean-view front deck that’s ideal for alfresco dining.

      A lower-level media room is clad in rustic wood paneling.

      Three upstairs bedrooms include a spacious primary suite, which has a separate sitting area and a spa-like bath within the turret that’s decked out with dual vanities, a clawfoot soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. Two more bedrooms downstairs have doors spilling out to a courtyard, while a wood-paneled media room anchors the lower level.

      Rounding it all out are the fully hedged grounds, which offer several spots ideal for lounging and entertaining amid a fire pit, mature trees, and a rolling grassy lawn. There’s also a detached three-car garage sitting street side, plus additional parking for up to eight vehicles.

      The Heinrichs have decided to sell because they have been working on and off in the U.K. since 1998 and are now relocating there full time. “Daily sunsets, wonderful breezes, and especially the annual fireworks show are just a few reasons why it is difficult to sell,” says Dawn Heinrichs. “We raised our kids here and loved watching them play in the backyard, which has plenty of hiding places and room to run.”

      L.A.’s Famed 112-Acre Robert Taylor Ranch Is Back on the Market for $70 Million

      by

      A sprawling Los Angeles ranch property long owned by the late film and TV actor Robert Taylor has just hit the market for the first time in a decade. Nestled into the Mandeville Canyon neighborhood of Brentwood, just minutes from the popular Country Mart and Rodeo Drive, the entire spread is asking a cool $70 million, with the listing held by Rochelle Maize of Nourmand & Associates.

      Originally designed and built in the 1950s by noted architect Robert Byrd for petroleum magnate Waite Phillips, the estate was subsequently acquired by Taylor, who lived there until his death from lung cancer in 1969 at age 57. Married throughout the ’40s to screen legend Barbara Stanwyck, the Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee starred in the iconic early 1950s films Quo Vadis and Ivanhoe and later appeared in the TV series The Detectives and hosted the series Death Valley Days.

      A rustic-chic living area has collapsible steel-framed glass doors opening to the pool area.

      The residence was purchased in the 1970s for just $900,000 by the late radio concert promoter and radio station magnate Ken Roberts, who wound up relinquishing it to the financial services firm New Stream Capital in 2010 to settle a $27.5 million legal claim. New Stream immediately put it back up for sale at nearly $30 million. After reducing the price and having no takers, however, the place ultimately sold at auction for $12 million to Chicago-based real estate developer Fred Latsko. It last traded hands in late 2015 for $18.7 million and has since been extensively renovated by designer Malcolm James Kutner.

      Fully fenced and gated, the property features a main home and multiple guest and staff quarters spread across roughly 20,000 square feet. Special amenities include a casino lounge, a gym, meditation and massage rooms, a dog spa, an art studio, and a children’s playhouse, just for starters.

      The fully renovated barn includes up to 12 horse stalls, a tack room, and a stable manager’s office.

      Inside the 12,000-square-foot primary dwelling are formal living and dining rooms, along with a library and a media room. A gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Wolf appliances and an accompanying breakfast nook, while five to seven bedrooms (depending on the configuration) include a fireside primary suite boasting a custom walk-in closet, a steam shower, and a sauna.

      Rounding it all out are the expansive grounds, which are showcased by a rock-encased pool and spillover spa, a fire pit conversation area, an outdoor kitchen with a grill and a pizza oven, equestrian facilities, hiking trails, a private well, and parking for around 20 vehicles. There’s also a generator, plus advanced fire-safety systems.

      Inside Kendrick Lamar’s $80 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      He’s long been the voice of Compton—but Kendrick Lamar’s current zip codes reflect a bigger story of success.

      For much of his early career, the Not Like Us rapper kept a low profile when it came to the home front. A long-time renter, he prioritized privacy and practicality, often choosing to invest in family rather than splash out on sprawling estates. But over the past few years, the hip-hop artist has shifted gears and gone on what could only be described as a spending spree, quietly assembling a high-value portfolio—now estimated at nearly $80 million—that stretches from Los Angeles to New York City. 

      His first known purchase was a modest home in Eastvale, California, scooped up in 2014 for $523,400 as a gift to his parents. He followed that up with a residence in Calabasas, an upscale enclave known for its celebrity cachet, before setting his sights on the SoCal coastline with a contemporary pad in Manhattan Beach. Last year, the Grammy Award-winning musician made his biggest geographic leap yet, acquiring a penthouse in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. It’s his first major East Coast property and a sign that the notoriously private artist is expanding his horizons. 

      While some stars collect homes like they do cars or watches, Lamar’s approach is more measured and mirrors the arc of his career: quietly powerful, always evolving, and undeniably influential. 

      Calabasas Crib 

      Google Earth

      Lamar made his first significant real estate move in late 2017, dropping $2.65 million on a 5,400-square-foot home in Calabasas, property records show. Set in one of Los Angeles’s most star-studded zip codes, the circa 1998 Mediterranean-inspired abode features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, and a media room.

      The outdoor space was made for unwinding, with a freeform pool, barbecue area, and shaded lounge that takes in canyon views. Though he never lived in the home full-time, it’s reportedly served as a residence for close family members. It was a quiet but strategic buy—his first step from perennial renter to stealth real estate player.  

      Manhattan Beach Mansion

      Two years later, in August 2019, the poetic rapper expanded his real estate footprint with the $9.7 million purchase of a contemporary-style residence in Manhattan Beach. Tucked into one of the South Bay’s most sought-after beach communities, the sleek, three-story home spans about 5,400 square feet with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. 

      The off-market deal came around the time Lamar and his longtime fiancée, Whitney Alford, welcomed their first child, a momentous event that may have signaled a shift toward more personal, lifestyle-focused acquisitions. While the property isn’t directly on the sand, upper levels reportedly offer ocean views, and the home includes a three-car garage and a private patio.  

      Bel-Air Estate 

      Google Earth

      Following the release of his acclaimed album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, which earned him a Best Rap Album Grammy, Lamar splashed out $15.85 million on a Bel Air. This expansive 8,100-square-foot home in the coveted East Gate section of the neighborhood offers a midcentury-era main house and a two-story guesthouse, together sporting seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. 

      Designed by celebrated architect Edward Fickett in 1951 and featuring vaulted ceilings with numerous skylights, Lamar’s residence is today equipped with a slew of amenities, including a gym, a 4K movie theater, and an updated kitchen. Outdoors, a serene koi pond, swimming pool, and dining patio complete the private retreat.  

      Brooklyn Penthouse 

      In 2023, Lamar expanded his real estate portfolio with a three-story Brooklyn Heights penthouse.

      Andrew Chui/MW Studio

      Lamar’s real estate ambitions reached the East Coast in 2023 with the acquisition of an $8.99 million penthouse at Pierhouse, a development along the waterfront in Brooklyn Heights, a neighborhood known for its celebrity residents, including Ed Sheeran, Matt Damon, Amy Schumer, and Michelle Williams. 

      It’s pretty safe to say Lamar’s Brooklyn digs are far from Humble. The 3,140-square-foot triplex penthouse, with sweeping views of the East River and Manhattan skyline, spans three floors and contains four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The aerie is decked out with soaring 18-foot ceilings, reclaimed heartwood pine floors, and walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. At the time of his purchase, the chef’s kitchen was outfitted with top-tier Gaggenau appliances, Calacatta Tucci marble countertops, and American walnut cabinetry. 

      A highlight of the property is its 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, split between a landscaped roof deck and a terrace. Access to the building’s amenities includes a rooftop pool and bar, a fitness center, a meditation studio, and concierge services.  

      Brentwood Compound 

      Google Earth

      Last June, Lamar made his most significant real estate move to date, picking up two adjoining properties in the Mandeville Canyon area of L.A.’s Brentwood neighborhood for a combined $42 million. Records show $32.5 million was paid for the main parcel, which includes a 16,200-square-foot modern farmhouse with a swimming pool, while the neighboring parcel with a 3,400-square-foot guesthouse and tennis court went for $9.5 million. Perfect for those who roll deep, there are nine bedrooms and 15 bathrooms in all.

      Mandeville Canyon is a well-known hotbed of entertainment industry movers and shakers, and Lamar’s off-market deal for the two-parcel compound, made with former Fox Corp. legal officer Viet Dinh, placed the superstar right next door to Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, at least until earlier this year when she sold the home for $22 million.

      ‘Modern Family’ Alum Ed O’Neill Lists His Spare L.A. Home for $6.7 Million

      by

      Back in 2004, while he was starring as Al Bundy in Married… with Children, Ed O’Neill doled out $2.6 million for a Los Angeles home in the horse-friendly Sullivan Canyon community on the border of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. A few years later, after he snagged the role of Jay Pritchett in Modern Family, the actor and his longtime actress wife Catherine Rusoff picked up a second place nearby for $3 million. Now the couple has put the first-mentioned residence up for sale at a smidge under $6.7 million with Nancie Richards of Core Real Estate Group.

      Set on almost a third of an acre off historic Old Ranch Road, the hacienda-style structure was designed by architects Cliff May, widely touted as the “father of the California ranch house,” and Chris Choate in the early 1950s. Tucked down a private lane that leads to a motor court and two-car garage, the single-level house sports four bedrooms and three baths in almost 3,200 square feet of living space infused with light via walls of glass and skylights. Filtered throughout is a mix of terracotta and wide-plank wood floors, plaster walls, and wood-beam ceilings.

      The vaulted and glass-lined family room is anchored by a raised-hearth flagstone fireplace.

      A pair of tall, access-controlled wood doors next to the garage lead to an enclosed courtyard that serves as an entry into the home’s U-shaped layout, where highlights include a sunken fireside living room with a built-in window seat and an adjacent family room anchored by an eye-catching raised-hearth fireplace. The dining room comes with a third fireplace, while a modernized galley kitchen is outfitted with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.

      A separate wing holds an office and an attractive primary suite, which features yet another fireplace and sliding glass doors spilling out to a patio, as well as a walk-in closet with its own safe and a bath spotlighted by a pedestal soaking tub.

      A wine cave with plenty of room for your favorite vintages can be found just outside the house.

      In addition to a standalone wine cave, the lush greenery-encased grounds also host numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and dining and a pool with a spa and water slide. A bamboo-laced pathway meanders its way to a meditation garden lorded over by a Buddha statue.

      As for O’Neill and Rusoff’s other house down the street, the couple acquired that two-bedroom, two-bath spread from cinematographer Robert Richardson in 2011 for just over $3 million. Designed by the aforementioned Cliff May in 1953 as his personal residence (and known as the Experimental Ranch House), the 3,165-square-foot abode was restored and refined by Marmol Radziner during Richardson’s ownership.

      F1 Heiress Petra Ecclestone’s Modern L.A. Mansion Just Listed for $42 Million

      by

      Back in 2022, Petra Ecclestone and Sam Palmer sold a modern farmhouse-style residence on the west side of Los Angeles to NBA star Russell Westbrook for nearly $34 million—almost $11 million more than the $22.7 million they paid just three years before. Soon after, the Formula 1 racing heiress/fashion designer and her real-estate agent husband doled out $30.5 million in a clandestine off-market deal for a recently built mansion in the posh Brentwood Park neighborhood.

      The couple went on to add some personal touches to their new abode, which packs seven bedrooms and a dozen baths into 13,500 square feet of modern yet warm living space on three levels. Now the sleekly reimagined spread has popped up for sale again with a significant jump in price, asking a speck under $42 million. Palmer and Blair Chang of The Agency hold the listing.

      The gourmet kitchen comes with high-end appliances and an expansive eat-in island.

      Sited amid a flat, half-acre parcel on prime Rockingham Avenue—the street made world famous by O.J. Simpson in the 1990s—the brick-clad house is painted a trendy shade of dark gray and lies securely behind walls and gates on lushly landscaped grounds lined with mature olive trees. Inside, inviting cream-hued interiors are adorned with 12-foot ceilings complemented by wide-plank, white oak floors and hand-crafted Roman plaster walls.

      Among the main-level highlights are a trio of seating areas, along with two offices, a formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen boasting top-notch stainless appliances, a spacious eat-in island, a breakfast nook, and a secondary prep kitchen. Upstairs, five ensuite bedrooms in a private wing include a fireside primary suite sporting a balcony and dual dressing rooms and baths, while the lower level offers an entertainment lounge with a seated bar, a movie theater, a golf simulator, a steam room-equipped gym, and a guest suite.

      A manicured backyard features a large pool flanked by a sundeck with hot and cold plunges.

      Elsewhere is a dedicated staff area with its own kitchen, as well as a “dog room” and a security suite with state-of-the-art monitoring technology. The amenities continue outdoors, where a large sundeck-encased pool is paired with hot and cold plunges, a soccer pitch, a custom-built treehouse, and an in-ground trampoline. There’s also a garage and motor court with parking for up to 12 vehicles, plus a carriage-style driveway for guests.

      Though the L.A. fires earlier this year played into their decision to sell, the couple told The Wall Street Journal they are also eager to embark upon their next house-flipping project. Ecclestone, the youngest daughter of British billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, is perhaps best known for owning The Manor, a Holmby Hills mega-mansion built by the late primetime TV titan Aaron Spelling and his socialite wife, Candy Spelling, that she bought in 2011 for $85 million and sold in 2019 for a whopping $120 million.
