    Mario Lopez’s Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $6 Million

    Mario Lopez shelled out nearly $2 million for a historic Los Angeles home in the foothills above Glendale in 2010, shortly before he began documenting his journey to parenthood with his soon-to-be wife Courtney Mazza on the VH1 reality show Saved by the Baby.

    The child actor-turned-media personality wound up selling the place 13 years later for $4.5 million—substantially less than the $6.5 million he originally wanted—and upgraded to a bigger, newer, and more expensive mansion in L.A.’s La Cañada Flintridge suburb in the process. Now the historic Spanish-style digs are available again for a smidge under $6 million, with Craig Strong and Nancy Gerber of Compass holding the listing.

    Built in the late 1920s for armored car inventor Peter Damm and known as Lorelei, the stately villa was added to Glendale’s historic registry in the 1970s and qualifies for the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving its historic appearance. Sited on several parcels spanning over two-thirds of an acre, the multi-story white stucco and terracotta-roof structure has a total of eight bedrooms and 11 baths in roughly 7,700 square feet of remodeled living space.

    A gated courtyard with a Spanish-tiled wall fountain introduces the home, which has hand-carved double wood doors opening into a marble-clad entry foyer. Arched doorways embedded within Venetian plaster walls lead to a step-down living room sporting a trio of picture windows framing picturesque views, and a wood-beamed family room features the original stone fireplace.

    A semi-circular dining room connects to the sky-lit kitchen, which has an eat-in island, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook with pewter-hued banquette seating. The primary suite flaunts a separate office or nursery space, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath equipped with an indulgent soaking tub, a large rain shower, and a spiral staircase winding down to a mirrored gym and dance studio.

    Outdoors, the tiered backyard is showcased by a waterfall-fed pool and spillover spa flanked by a loggia that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a kitchen and bar setup and fire pits, along with a bocce court and a children’s playhouse. And adding to the overall appeal is a wine cellar and a two-bedroom guest apartment with its own bath, kitchen, and living area, plus an attached two-car garage.

    Lopez, who currently resides in a $9.4 million, 9,300-square-foot La Cañada Flintridge home with his wife Courtney and their three children, achieved widespread acclaim with the role of popular high school jock A.C. Slater on the 1990s sitcom Saved by the Bell. The 51-year-old California native went on to appear in several TV shows and films ranging from Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story to The Bold and the Beautiful, but he’s best known as a TV host for the entertainment news shows Extra, Access Hollywood, and Access Daily.

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

    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.

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.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce May Be Buying a Home in Ohio

    Rumors are swirling that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may be scouting for their next home—and this time, it’s not in New York, Nashville, or Beverly Hills. It’s Cleveland.

    According to Cleveland Scene, the couple spent part of their visit to the Buckeye State this summer touring “at least two opulent homes currently for sale in Northeast Ohio’s tony Eastside suburbs.” While they were publicly spotted lunching at JoJo’s Bar in Chagrin Falls, multiple sources say the real purpose of the trip may have been more than just a stroll down memory lane.

    It wouldn’t be a total surprise. Back in January, Us Weekly reported that the couple had been discussing purchasing a home together, possibly in Kansas City, where Kelce plays for the Chiefs. “They’ve talked about exploring buying a home together,” a source said at the time. And if that’s the case—if the couple is, in fact, eyeing property in Ohio—there are a few estates that would suit this A-list couple perfectly.

    Roundwood Manor in Hunting Valley is an ideal fit for Swift’s love of classic, storied homes.

    Cara Miller

    Start with Roundwood Manor, a 55,000-square-foot Colonial Revival estate tucked inside the gated Daisy Hill enclave of Hunting Valley. Listed at $3.45 million, it’s one of Ohio’s largest and most storied homes—built in the 1920s for railroad magnates turned real estate barons, the Van Sweringen brothers— and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.

    Inside, it’s pure Swiftian fantasy: hand-carved wood paneling, imported Dutch tilework, and a double-height entrance hall capped by a stained-glass skylight. There’s even a sprawling library that could’ve been pulled from Evermore—just add candlelight and a vintage piano. Altogether, it has 14 bedrooms, nine fireplaces, three dining rooms, and a 60-foot indoor pool.

    Still, if they’re after a different kind of romance—something with Lake Erie views—another contender awaits in the historic lakefront enclave of Bratenahl. There, a newly restored Gilded Age mansion is asking a speck under $6 million, and it delivers the best of both worlds: old-world glamour, modern ease, and a front-row seat to the water.

    Cara Miller

    Set on 3.5 manicured acres, the estate layers walnut and oak paneling with leaded-glass windows and a marble-floored sunroom glowing beneath an amber skylight. There’s a Control4 smart system, plus a reimagined third floor with a home theater and game room. Below, a wine cellar, poker lounge, and speakeasy-style bar offer space to entertain. Even the original gate house has been converted into a two-bedroom guest cottage—ideal for visiting family or famous friends.

    And while the Cleveland area’s median list price is just $139,000, per Realtor.com, that figure doesn’t apply in exclusive suburbs like Hunting Valley and Bratenahl, where homes regularly top $1 million. One estate is currently asking $18 million, with several others listed between $1.75 million and $4.5 million

    Of course, settling down in the Forest City would mark a new chapter in both Swift and Kelce’s real estate journeys—but they’re hardly starting from scratch. Kelce’s most recent purchase made headlines in October 2023: a $6 million Kansas City fortress in Leawood, complete with a pool, pickleball court, mini golf course, wine cellar, and 17,000 square feet of living space. Kelce also owns a $995,000 home in Kansas City’s Briarcliff West neighborhood and a Florida condo he picked up in 2019 for $355,000.

    Swift, for her part, already maintains an estimated $150 million real estate portfolio, including a $17.75 million Rhode Island beachfront estate and multiple homes in Nashville, New York, and Los Angeles. Adding a countryside escape near Kelce’s hometown wouldn’t be out of character.

    Pia Zadora’s Former Malibu Beach House Lists for $22 Million

    Robert Redford did. So have Valerie Bertinelli, Pierce Brosnan, and Dustin Hoffman. And now you, too, can live on Malibu‘s “celebrity row.”

    This Cape Cod-style house along Broad Beach, once owned by the ’80s actress and singer Pia Zadora, has been in the hands of the seller for 23 years, but they are now spending more time on the East Coast and have decided to part ways with the beachfront beauty. The gated compound includes a four-bedroom, four-bath main house, plus a one-bedroom guest house that’s perched atop the three-car garage with its own living room and kitchen. Rochelle Maize at Nourmand & Associates holds the $22 million listing. 

    The updated chef’s kitchen includes premium appliances and pops of nautical blue.

    Anthony Barcelo

    While it occupies a prime piece of West Coast real estate, the home evokes East Coast living, with design cues taken from the architectural vernacular of the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard. Beyond the shingled exterior, there are dark-stained wide-plank oak floorboards, beadboard accents, and nautical blue tones throughout, including the bar stools in the recently updated chef’s kitchen. A casual lounge adjoins the kitchen and spills out through French doors to a courtyard garden between the main house and the garage/guesthouse.

    Further in is the dining room, and a few steps down is the spacious living room, where a wall of glass peels open to a covered porch and a large brick terrace with a built-in grill and an alfresco dining setup. Steps away are a built-in spa and a sunken fire pit, giving you two options for staying warm when the coastal fog sets in. From there, a lawn stretches out to a classic white picket fence and a private patch of sand atop a rock revetment that was put in place to slow beach erosion.

    The spacious primary bedroom opens up to an ocean-facing terrace.

    Anthony Barcelo

    Back inside, the ocean-facing primary suite spills onto a terrace spanning the full width of the house, the perfect place for cozying up with a good book or having a cocktail while the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean.

    Broad Beach has long been popular with entertainment industry heavy hitters. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell owned the house right next door (it was later owned by the Imagine Dragons’ frontman Dan Reynolds, who sold it a couple of years ago for $16.7 million), and other Broad Beach residents and homeowners have included Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Frank Sinatra, Pierce Brosnan, and Ray Romano.

    Brad Pitt Just Dropped $12 Million on Rock Star Dave Keuning’s Hollywood Hills Home

    Dave Keuning has officially offloaded his Los Angeles residence in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills to Oscar-winning actor, producer, and architecture enthusiast Brad Pitt for $12 million, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

    That’s a lot less than Keuning originally wanted, but it’s still $2.4 million more than the $9.6 million the seven-time Grammy-nominated co-founder and lead guitarist of The Killers paid Grindr app founder Joel Simkhai for the modern Spanish villa high above the Sunset Strip four years ago. 

    The veteran rock star and his interior designer wife, Emilie Keuning, subsequently gave the place a full makeover, and, after hitting the market in June with a nearly $14 million ask, the house quickly sold to Pitt at a substantial discount. David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates held the listing, with Pitt repped by Carolwood’s Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi.

    The two-story Spanish villa has six bedroom and eight baths in 8,385 square feet.

    Behind gates on a lofty perch spanning just over a third of an acre, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure offers picturesque views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Santa Monica Bay. Originally built in the late 1980s, it features six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 8,300 square feet.

    Upon entry, a soaring wood-beam foyer flows to a living area sporting a stone fireplace and steel-framed French doors spilling out to the backyard. From there, another living area is topped with an embossed tin ceiling and a fanciful light fixture, while an office is lined with built-in bookcases. A dining room and a fireside sitting area connect to the sleek eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with ebony-hued cabinetry and Wolf and Miele appliances. 

    The creature comforts continue upstairs, where a sumptuous primary suite flaunts a Murano glass chandelier, a fireplace, a wraparound balcony, and a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower. There’s a vaulted movie theater fit for a movie star, while the garden-laced grounds host a freeform pool and spillover spa bordered by a barbecue station and a fire pit lounge, dual garages, and a detached hillside studio with a recording space.

    This isn’t Pitt’s first real estate foray into the Hollywood Hills. In early 2023, he sold a $33 million compound in Los Feliz to Aileen Getty and then turned around and paid the oil heiress $5.5 million for her midcentury modern pavilion, also in Los Feliz and known as the Steel House.

    More recently, the F1 The Movie and Ocean’s Eleven star doled out $40 million for the landmark D.L. James house in California’s Carmel Highlands, which has reportedly become his main residence. His extensive property portfolio also includes a 50 percent stake in Château Miraval, a 1,200-acre estate and winery in France that he once shared with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.

    ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ Star Shannen Doherty’s Malibu Home Lists for $9.5 Million

    Shannen Doherty’s longtime home nestled within the exclusive Winding Way enclave above Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway has just hit the market for $19.5 million. The Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed star died last year at age 53 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer, and proceeds from the sale will go to her estate.

    Doherty paid nearly $2.6 million back in 2004 for the contemporary spread, which includes a main home and a separate studio offering a combined total of four bedrooms and five baths in roughly 5,300 square feet.

    A light-filled great room with soaring ceilings and disappearing walls of glass opens out to the backyard.

    Originally built in the 1970s and fully transformed by the actress with an eye toward beautiful and inviting spaces for entertaining, the hedged and gated residence sits amid a one-acre parcel with sweeping coastline views. Doherty fell in love with the property the first time she laid eyes on it, per her close friend and real estate agent Chris Cortazzo of Compass, who holds the listing.

    “It was everything she wanted: a private compound with ocean views, a flat piece of land, a lush hedge for seclusion, and a stunning open floor plan,” he said in a statement. “Shannen cherished a close-knit circle of loved ones, and this home became a sanctuary for her friends and family.”

    The grounds hold multiple vignettes for gathering and relaxing.

Highlights include a spacious great room showcased by a soaring fireplace, iron chandeliers, and collapsible glass walls spilling out to a balcony. A dining area abuts the sky-lit kitchen, which comes with a Wolf range and an expansive eat-in island that seats six.

    Tucked behind reclaimed wood barn doors is an office where Doherty worked on her Let’s Be Clear podcast, while the sumptuous primary suite is decked out with an inviting bath sporting a trough-style sink with dual faucets, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. The bedroom flows out to a sundeck-encased lap pool and spillover spa, with the grassy, tree-laced grounds hosting tiered gardens with several spots geared to enjoying Malibu’s sunshine and coastal breezes.

    Late Colts Owner Jim Irsay’s Lavish Indiana Estate Lists for $12 Million

    A little more than two months after he passed away on what would have been his 65th birthday, the longtime Indiana estate of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is officially up for sale.

    Set on over nine acres bordering Crooked Stick Golf Club in the affluent city of Carmel, just north of Indianapolis, the lavish property contains a two-story main home and a pair of standalone guesthouses spanning a combined 25,800 square feet. Glitzy creature comforts include an indoor basketball court emblazoned with Colt logos, a gym, a cinema, a speakeasy, seven fireplaces, a private par-3 golf hole, and not one but two pools, one inside and another outside.

    All that extravagance will set a buyer back to the tune of $12 million, with an offer already pending after only five days on the market. Steve Decatur and Jan Sutton of the Decatur Group at Century 21 Scheetz hold the listing.

    Built in 1996, the massive home is “designed for both serenity and grandeur,” per marketing materials, and features a gated guardhouse and a substantial fountain-clad motor court in addition to dedicated garage bays for eight vehicles.

    In addition to six bedrooms and 12 baths, the primary dwelling has a living room with a wood-beamed ceiling, a stone fireplace, and a bank of French doors leading out to a covered terrace, as well as a chandelier-topped dining room. A family room connects to the kitchen, which features dark-hued cabinetry, an eat-in island, and top-notch stainless appliances.

Topping it all off are yet more posh perks, from a tennis court with a viewing pavilion and a Zen garden to a custom children’s play area and a couple of ponds.

    Irsay, who was worth a reported $4.8 billion per Forbes, was the principal owner, chairman, and CEO of the Colts from 1997 until his death, with the team now under the ownership of his three daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, and Kalen Jackson. The good-hearted yet hard-living NFL chief was equally known for his vast collection of music and sports memorabilia, which is highlighted by guitars that once belonged to rock legends the likes of Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, George Harrison, and Prince.
