      Stevie Wonder Once Lived in This $11 Million Beverly Hills Home. Now It Can Be the Sunshine of Your Life.

      by

      One of Stevie Wonder’s former residences wants to take you to higher ground.

      From 2011 to 2015, the legendary musician leased the 6,217-square-foot California digs set in Beverly Hills’s affluent Trousdale Estates neighborhood. The gated home at 600 Clinton Place was built in the 1970s with Hollywood Regency-style touches spanning four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a number of common spaces. Its spacious floor lets in an abundance of natural light and provides you with views of the Pacific Ocean from nearly every corner. If you’re looking to relocate, the luxe urban oasis can now be yours for $11 million.

      Lush front yard landscaping leads to the home’s front door. The exterior is at once modern and regal. Inside you’ll find soaring ceilings, wood flooring, and classic white paint on the walls that give it a minimalistic finish. The living room lies just ahead with a spacious area for plush seating, as well as a double-sided fireplace and tall sliding doors that open out to the backyard. 

      Further in, you’ll find the chef’s kitchen with luxe stainless-steel appliances such as a double oven, island-set stovetop, and dishwasher. There’s an excess of cabinet space for storing extra groceries and easily finding dishware when hosting guests. Adjacent is a spacious formal dining area with a tall window offering backyard views. The home’s primary bedroom is set on the East Wing with newly renovated finishes, dual walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom. A fitness center, office, and four-car garage round out the indoor amenities.

      “The walls in this home hold so much history from the ‘Wonder’ days and I had a feeling when I walked this home that if these walls could talk, you might hear Wonder and Quincy Jones re-living their 1972 You’ve Got It Bad album days,” says listing agent Holland Ashrafnia of the H Group at AKG | Christie’s in a statement.

      The abode’s backyard, meanwhile, features a covered patio with recessed lighting and smooth stone flooring. It extends out horizontally with enough space to house lounge seating next to lush landscaping and an oval-shaped pool. Even better, the backyard serves up mesmerizing views of the LA cityscape.

      This Oceanfront Malibu Manse Was Robert De Niro’s Home in ‘Heat.’ Now It Can Now Be Yours for $21 Million.

      by

      A Malibu pad from a classic crime flick just hit the market. 

      Located at 26940 Malibu Cove Colony Dr, the oceanfront home famously starred on the silver screen as the residence of the Neil McCauley, the thief played by Robert De Niro in the 1995 movie Heat. The two-story residence, which has listed for $21 million, was designed by architect Ron Goldman and spans 3,502 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Dissolving walls, walkways, and private terraces blend the property’s indoor and outdoor spaces.

      The midcentury-modern home’s exterior is dressed in white with a decidedly minimalist design approach, accented primarily with structural lines. A roof of skylights floods the interior spaces with light, complementing the living room and dining room to the left of the entry foyer. The living room houses a fireplace and offers access to an expansive balcony with breathtaking ocean views. Off the living area, you’ll find the dining room and kitchen. The latter is a chef’s kitchen with professional-grade appliances. The space’s open design, meanwhile, offers views of the central staircase, upper level and ocean in one space. 

      An informal living room sits on the ground floor with ample space for your furniture, as well as your favorite books. To the left of that space, you can access the serene outdoor patio with wood flooring, lush landscaping and a floating staircase. The primary bedroom is one floor above, and offers its own private ocean-view balcony, fireplace and an en-suite bathroom with his and hers sinks. Other bedrooms can be found on this floor as well, including one with its own outdoor patio.

      While the home doesn’t offer discrete entertainment spaces, its spacious garage could double as a gym for fitness buffs. It comes filled with storage cabinets, a washer and dryer unit, as well as space for at least two of your favorite rides. Speaking of which, newly installed Tesla chargers in the space should prove useful for those who’ve joined the electric revolution. One final perk? The property is gated and protected by guards 24/7 as part of the Malibu Cove Colony. So, chances are no one will be bringing heat to your doorstep.

      For more details, contact Jane Dorian at Carolwood Estates who holds the listing.

      F1 Champ Jenson Button’s Palm Springs Estate Just Hit the Market for $2.5 Million

      by

      Buyers, start your engines: The race to own Jenson Button’s Palm Springs pad is on.  

      The Formula 1 driver, who famously won the world championship in 2009, is zipping out of his California desert retreat so you can drive on in. The Englishman and his wife, Brittny, bought the Spanish-Colonial residence roughly a year ago. However, they now own a second vacation rental in the area, which is why they’ve decided to sell.

      “Between my design career and Jenson’s busy work schedule, on top of our family life, we don’t have time to manage two homes in Palm Springs,” Brittny told Dirt. “We are so sad to say goodbye, but we know whoever is lucky enough to purchase the property will be very happy there.”  

      Formula 1 champion Jenson Button is selling his Palm Springs vacation home for $2.5 million.

      Michael Karam/Calilookbook

      On the market for $2.5 million, the estate is situated within the historic El Mirador neighborhood. Spanning 3,000 square feet, the main home comprises four bedrooms and four bathrooms. There’s also a guest casita for your pit crew. Oh, and the couple’s furniture is up for grabs, too.

      The abode was originally built in 1946 by American starchitect John Porter Clark, who is credited as one of the pioneers of desert modernism. For an older spread, the Mediterranean-inspired villa has a ton of charm. Think vaulted wood-beam ceilings, dramatic columns and terracotta flooring throughout.

      The Spanish Colonial home was furnished by the racing driver’s wife, Brittny, who’s an interior designer.

      Michael Karam/Calilookbook

      The light, airy living quarters are characterized by bright white paint and expansive windows. Highlights include a custom chef’s kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line Dacor and Sub-Zero appliances. There’s also a cozy breakfast nook and a separate dining area for entertaining racing royalty. Nearby, the living room sports a soaring, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that creates a cozy vibe.

      Large French doors open up to the landscaped grounds, which have been decked out with a two-car garage, a fountain and a covered wraparound veranda. Extra perks include a sparkling pool and spa, a fire pit and a built-in barbecue. Best of all, you can enjoy jaw-dropping views of the nearby San Jacinto Mountains from your new digs. The peaks are a great place to put the pedal to the metal like Button, too.

      Joseph Babineaux of HK Lane Real Estate holds the listing.

      Carmelo and La La Anthony’s Spanish-Style LA Home Just Hit the Market for $2.6 Million

      by

      Before their split, Carmelo and La La Anthony shared a chic, Spanish-style retreat in Los Angeles. Now, nearly two years after calling it quits, the former couple is finally parting ways with their longtime family home.

      The NBA star and his ex-wife, who officially filed for divorce back in June 2021, have listed the sprawling California estate for a cool $2.6 million. The palatial pad dates all the way back to 1929 but has since undergone an extensive renovation. Today, the modern abode offers three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms and more than 2,000 square feet of living space.

      “The property is a completely private and redone Spanish oasis in the heart of Beverly Grove for the most discerning of buyers,” Nima Tehrany of Compass, who holds the listing together with colleague James Baulding, told Architectural Digest.

      The secluded one-story residence is hidden behind sturdy gates and tall hedges. Staying true to its roots, the home sports a white stucco exterior, a red tiled roof and charming archways. Inside, you’ll find vaulted beamed ceilings, oversized picture windows and hardwood flooring throughout. The light-filled living room features a cozy fireplace and postcard-like views of the olive trees outside. Elsewhere, the eat-in kitchen comes equipped with stainless steel appliances and a wine fridge, while the breakfast nook is surrounded by limewash walls that create a modern yet old-world feel.  

      The Spanish-style residence was originally built in the ’20s but has been totally renovated.

      Todd Goodman

      When you need to unwind, the primary suite is outfitted with a massive walk-in closet clad in dark wood. There’s also a spa-like en suite complete with a freestanding soaking tub, dual sinks, a glass-walled shower and vistas of the bamboo-lined yard. Speaking of which, the grounds themselves have a few surprise perks, including an open-air cabana, multiple al fresco dining areas and a sparkling plunge pool and spa. Sounds like a slice of paradise in Beverly Grove.
