      This $3.2 Million Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Comes With a Midcentury Guesthouse

      by

      Like a touch of midcentury modern with your Mission Revival? No worries! This hybrid residence tucked away in the La Crescenta foothills of Los Angeles just so happens to offer the best of both worlds. 

      After barely two years of ownership, the scion of a Hollywood actor has decided to part ways with his home in an unincorporated area near the city of Glendale. The professional musician is asking a speck under $3.2 million for the blended abode, which he acquired in 2022 for just over $2.3 million. 

      Originally built in the late 1940s by mission-adobe expert Paul Angel Verdugo, the property underwent an extensive renovation during the owner’s tenure and includes a three-bedroom, two-bath Mission Revival-style main home boasting a little more than 2,100 square feet of single-level living space adorned throughout with Saltillo tile floors, mosaic accents, and natural wood-beam ceilings. There’s also a newer midcentury pool house that clocks in at 475 square feet and was previously used by the owner as a music studio.

      The light-filled living room is spotlighted by a natural wood-beam ceiling and a corner fireplace.

      Nestled amid a leafy parcel of land spanning nearly two-thirds of an acre, within the Briggs Terrace neighborhood near the Rosemont Preserve, the main adobe brick and terracotta-roof structure is secluded at the end of a private street and overlooks the San Gabriel Mountains. Once inside via a covered porch and hand-carved wood door, the step-down living room charms with a large picture window and an arched fireplace nestled alongside a built-in bench.

      A cozy family room connects to the gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with Carrara marble countertops, an eat-in bar topped with honed black granite, a pricey AGA range, and a built-in Thermador refrigerator. Other highlights include an office space, plus an inviting primary suite sporting a walk-in closet and a fireside bath equipped with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a steam shower.

      The owner used the midcentury pool house as a music studio.

      In addition to several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots, the grounds are laced with redwood, pine, and fruit trees. There’s also a sundeck-encased swimming pool, a firepit, and a sports court in the backyard, as well as an attached two-car garage out front.

      Star Moves: George Clooney and Melanie Griffith Sell L.A. Estates, While Bhad Bhabie Lists on Both Coasts

      by

      This week in celebrity real estate transactions, George Clooney sold his longtime estate to Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, Melanie Griffith parted ways with a Spanish-style villa she’s owned since 2019, and Bhad Bhabie has two homes up for grabs.

      After nearly three decades of ownership, George Clooney has officially offloaded the Los Angeles estate he acquired in 1995 for $2.2 million shortly after nabbing a starring role in the TV show ER. According to online reports, the buyers are model Olivia Culpo and her San Francisco 49ers husband Christian McCaffrey, who picked up the nearly 3.2-acre spread for $14.5 million. Formerly occupied by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and extensively remodeled by the actor during his tenure, the couple’s new digs in Studio City‘s lush Fryman Canyon neighborhood feature a 7,000-square-foot main home with six bedrooms, plus several guesthouses, a pool, and a tennis court. Clooney, who is currently starring in the film Wolfs alongside Brad Pitt, and his wife Amal still own homes in New York, Italy, and France, while Culpo maintains a $3.5 million mansion in L.A.’s Encino enclave.

      Meanwhile, over in Hollywood Hills, Melanie Griffith has quietly let go of her Spanish-style villa near the Sunset Strip in an off-market deal for $4.7 million. Purchased by the Oscar-nominated actress in spring 2019 for $3.7 million and owned at one time by TMZ’s Harvey Levin, the gated two-story abode has almost 3,000 square feet highlighted by a step-down living room sporting a stone fireplace, a kitchen equipped with Viking appliances, and a primary suite with a spa-like bath. Sliding glass doors open the family and formal dining rooms to the private backyard, which contains a pool and spa. Griffith does not appear to be leaving L.A.; records show she recently dropped $4.3 million on a vintage Spanish Colonial-Revival home in a famously celeb-packed locale in the foothills above Hollywood.

      Bhad Bhabie has multimillion-dollar homes in both California and Florida (above) up for sale.

      And on the heels of listing a contemporary mansion in her home state of Florida for $7.4 million, multimillionaire rapper and internet celeb Bhad Bhabie—born Danielle Bregoli—is also hoping to cash out on her part-time residence in L.A’s suburban San Fernando Valley, hoisting it up for sale at a speck under $3.5 million. The ranch-style spread in Woodland Hills offers about 3,700 square feet boasting a luxe fireside primary suite and an open-concept great room with a living/dining area connected to a kitchen. Far more impressive, though, is the 21-year-old OnlyFans phenom’s 9,300-square-foot all-white mansion in Palm Beach County’s Boca Raton community, which comes complete with a media room, a resort-style pool and spa, and a separate guesthouse.

      YouTube Star Philip DeFranco Lists His Hacienda-Style Home in L.A. for $6.5 Million

      by

      It’s been almost five years since Philip DeFranco picked up a Los Angeles residence in the San Fernando Valley community of Encino. Now the YouTube star—known to his 6 million-plus fans as “PhillyD”—is looking to hand over the keys to the hacienda-style home for $6.5 million after previously floating the place on the market as a rental for $25,000 per month. The listing is held by Jennifer Brookley of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

      Purchased by DiFranco and his wife Lindsay in winter 2019 for $4.1 million, the single-story stucco and terracotta-roof structure was built in the late 1930s and rests amid an acre-plus parcel of land fronted by an interior courtyard bolstered by a fountain that’s been transformed into a planter. Inside, four bedrooms and five baths are spread across nearly 6,000 square feet of updated living space, which is adorned throughout with a mix of hardwood and stone floors, arched doorways, and high wood-beam ceilings dotted with skylights.

      Highlights include a formal living room sporting a wood-burning fireplace and two sets of French doors spilling outside. A gourmet kitchen outfitted with bright green cabinetry, an eat-in island, and top-tier Viking appliances connects to a chandelier-topped dining area flanked by both butler’s and walk-in pantries on one side and a sunken family room on the other.

      Elsewhere is an office space and an ornate movie theater with plush red recliners, as well as a secluded primary suite that has a fireside seating area, French doors opening to a private patio, a custom closet, and a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities, a window-topped soaking tub, and a glass-encased steam shower.

      The acre-plus property features a tennis court sitting next to an open-air pavilion.

      Heading outdoors, one will find a lighted tennis court nestled alongside a covered entertaining spot, a heated saltwater pool surrounded by a sundeck, an open-air cabana, and a standalone sauna. There is also a poolside structure holding changing rooms and two spaces currently set up as a gym and a soundproof recording studio, along with a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with its own living/dining area and kitchen.

      New York-born DeFranco, 38, is a longtime YouTuber who was one of the first creators to hit it big on the platform, initially with his channel “sxephil.” Since then, he’s grown and maintained a cult following through his news show/pop culture commentary series The Philip DeFranco Show. Per a post on Lindsay’s Instagram page, the couple is moving to Atlanta to be closer to their extended family on the East Coast.

      Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus Just Put His Atlanta Condo on the Market for $5 Million

      by

      He’s putting a nail in his Atlanta property! After more than a decade of ownership, Bernard “Bernie” Marcus has decided to let go of his Atlanta home in Buckhead’s Park Avenue high-rise residential tower near the Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square shopping malls. The Home Depot co-founder and staunch philanthropist is asking $5 million for the condo, which is listed by Nicholas Brown of Compass Georgia.

      Records show Marcus and his wife Billi paid $3 million for the unit on the 37th floor of the 44-story structure in December 2010. The couple previously owned another smaller unit in the same building that they purchased in summer 2010 for $2 million and sold four years later for a speck under $1.4 million.

      The Park Avenue luxury high-rise building is sited at the intersection of Wieuca Road and Park Avenue in the sought-after Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta.

      Josh Vick/Home Tour America

      As for this particular dwelling, it has three bedrooms and five baths spread across roughly 5,700 square feet of living space overlooking sweeping views stretching from the Downtown Atlanta skyline to Stone Mountain and Kennesaw Mountain beyond. Highlights include a grand salon, which is “an entertainer’s dream” per the listing, and holds a full bar, a card-playing area, and access to a wraparound terrace via sliding walls of glass. A circular formal dining room is topped by a domed ceiling adorned with a custom hand-blown glass chandelier and a gourmet kitchen boasts top-tier appliances and a climate-controlled wine room.

      There’s also a sumptuous primary suite outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, a seating area, a luxe bath, and ample closet space. Elsewhere is an executive office and a wood-paneled library/study with a private balcony, as well as a guest bedroom and a self-contained suite for live-in staff that has its own kitchen, living room, and bath.

      Accessible to a wraparound terrace, the grand salon hosts a lounge, full bar, and card-playing area.

      Josh Vick/Home Tour America

      The gated building also comes with numerous amenities courtesy of a hefty $4,071 monthly HOA fee, including valet and concierge service, a swimming pool and fitness center, a landscaped garden, a clubroom, a catering kitchen, wine storage, guest suites, and two reserved parking spaces.

      After graduating from Rutgers University in his hometown of New Jersey in 1954, Marcus began his career as a drugstore pharmacist and later worked his way up the ranks at several retail businesses before founding The Home Depot in 1978 with now-Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank. Marcus retired in 2002 and has since focused much of his energy on philanthropy, having donated more than $2 billion to nonprofits via The Marcus Foundation. The 95-year-old also plans to leave 90 percent of his currently estimated $11 billion fortune to the foundation upon his death.

      “Atlanta holds a special place in my heart—it’s the city where we started The Home Depot back in 1978 and built it into one of the world’s greatest companies,” said Marcus, who also owns a home on the shores of Lake Toxaway in North Carolina. “This city will always be part of me and my commitment to its growth, well-being, and success will continue on.”

      Heart’s Ann Wilson Lists Her Waterfront Home in Florida for $2 Million

      by

      After a little more than five years of ownership, Ann Wilson is moving straight on from her Northeast Florida estate resting along the shores of the St. Johns River. The nearly 12.5-acre spread, about 40 minutes away from the beachside city of St. Augustine in the suburban community of Palatka, is now on the market for $2 million.

      The raven-haired lead singer and songwriter of the rock band Heart, which she co-founded with her younger guitarist and vocalist sister Nancy Wilson, acquired the property in spring 2019 for $885,000 and has since used it as a vacation home to “write new songs and create more music,” per the listing held by Jennifer Martin Faulker and Kim Martin-Fisher of Doulgas Elliman.

      Nestled securely behind gates, off a quiet country lane, the property was originally built way back in the early 1900s and has seen its share of renovations and additions through the years. Included is a two-story main home and a fully renovated guesthouse, for a total of seven bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 6,000 square feet. There’s also a pathway leading down to a lengthy private dock resting alongside 510 feet of waterfront footage.

      The main home has a lanai and an infinity-edge pool overlooking the St. Johns River.

      Coastline Films Co

      A portico entryway and double stained-glass doors lead into the three-bedroom, three-bath primary dwelling, which is highlighted by a spacious tiled living area, plus a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with a center island topped by a pot hanger, a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge, and a fireside breakfast room. Elsewhere is a bookshelf-lined library, an office nook, and a principal bedroom warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, as well as a spacious upstairs balcony and a lower-level lanai flanked by a screened infinity-edge pool and spa overlooking the river.

      Rounding it all out is the aforementioned guesthouse, which spans roughly 2,400 square feet and has four bedrooms, two baths, a modern kitchen, a sunroom, and an elevator to the second level. Also holding court on the tree-laced grounds is a carport with room for up to four vehicles, along with an artisan well, an irrigation system, a pair of pump houses, an RV port, and a large workshop.

      The guesthouse comes complete with a large, fully modernized kitchen.

      Born in San Diego and raised in Seattle, the 74-year-old singer recently finished chemotherapy treatments following a cancer diagnosis in July. She’s been ranked No. 78 on Hit Parader‘s 2006 list of “Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time” and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Heart in 2013. She and Nancy also received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 Grammys for their “creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording.”

      Coming up in 2025: Look for Heart to go back out on tour to play concerts that had been rescheduled so Ann could take time to recuperate.

      Inside the $42 Million Bahamas Home Designed for Former J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler

      by

      Mickey Drexler, the former CEO and chairman of J.Crew, not only has great taste in fashion but also has a keen eye for real estate. The retail legend commissioned the late French architect Thierry Despont to design several personal properties for him over the last few decades, including a rustic alpine retreat in Idaho and a sophisticated 9,000-square-foot townhouse in New York City, and in 2010, the architect completed a beachfront home in The Bahamas for Drexler and his wife Peggy. Known as Zehava and in the hands of only its second owner, the trophy estate is now being offered for a whopping $42 million, a sky-high figure that makes it the island’s most expensive single-family residential listing in The Bahamas.

      Nestled off the east coast of the island of Eleuthera, Zehava occupies three and a half acres within the prestigious Narrows enclave on Harbour Island, along what locals call Billionaire’s Beach, a pristine pink sand stretch of sand. Harbor Island has long been a somewhat under-the-radar hotspot for the world’s movers and shakers, including Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Diane von Fürstenberg and Barry Diller, David Letterman, and duty-free tycoon Robert Miller.

      Walls of windows give an intimate connection to the tropical surroundings.

      BOND Bahamas

      “Zehava represents a rare and unparalleled opportunity,” said broker Matthew Marco of Bond Bahamas. “With Thierry Despont’s visionary touch, this home blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, offering a living experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. Properties of this caliber, crafted by a master architect and located in such a coveted destination, seldom come to market—this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of architectural history in paradise.” 

      Sculpted from a combination of solid poured concrete, natural Brazilian hardwood, and cream-colored travertine stone, the 9,500-square-foot structure gains lightness thanks to a butterfly-style roofline that resembles lifted wings. Internally, the design makes the most of its waterfront vantage point with soaring high ceilings, dramatic expanses of glass, and foldable slatted wood walls that open to unite the indoor living spaces to the tropical landscape.  

      A two-bedroom cottage for guests adds to the sense of privacy and retreat.

      BOND Bahamas

      Despite its ample size, the main residence comprises just two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a powder room. In the commodious living room, a floor-to-ceiling wall of sliding glass doors lets the ocean air sweep right in while providing direct access to a covered patio. There’s also a more intimate den, a spacious dining room alongside a serving kitchen, with a galley-style chef’s kitchen clad in warm paneling off to one side. For visiting friends and family, there’s a two-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage.

      The grounds encompass broad decks that step down to palm-dotted lawns that roll down to the beach, sheltered terraces for escaping the sun, and a sunken pickleball court.

      Bedrooms spill onto water-view decks.

      BOND Bahamas

      Before the Zehava mansion hit the market, the highest-priced offering in the Bahamas was a $40 million property in Old Fort Bay dubbed Aspara. The oceanfront pad, which sold in April for $39.49 million, came with its own dock, a boat lift, and a private beach. 

      “The real estate market in the Bahamas has evolved to rival the world’s most exclusive destinations, such as the Hamptons, Malibu, and Palm Beach,” added Marco, who also represented the Aspara deal. “The demand for luxury properties here has surged as more discerning buyers seek not only a smart investment but also a serene, breathtaking environment to call home. The Bahamas is now firmly on the map as one of the world’s premier luxury markets.”

      ‘Real Housewives’ Star Angie Katsanevas Lists Her Modern Utah Home for $4.5 Million

      by

      Just as Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is getting cranked up on Bravo, complete with lots of drama right out of the gate, cast member Angie Katsanevas has decided to put her Utah home up for sale. The Greek reality show star and her husband Shawn Trujillo are asking $4.5 million for the modern residence, which is listed by Dorthy Androulidakis of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.

      The couple, who own several beauty salons across three states, acquired the modern spread in 2020 shortly after it was completed. Resting on a hillside parcel spanning over a third of an acre, within the affluent Upper Avenues neighborhood, the boxy all-white structure features four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 6,300 square feet of three-level living space punctuated throughout with ash-toned hardwood floors, high ceilings, designer light fixtures, and walls of glass providing picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

      One of two seating areas in the living room is dominated by a massive stone fireplace.

      Summit Sotheby’s International Realty

      Among the main-level highlights is a soaring open-concept great room, which is centered around a show kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, a 16-foot island, Miele appliances, and a prep kitchen hidden away around the corner. An accompanying dining area has sliding glass doors spilling out onto a front-facing patio that has a covered entertaining alcove and an adjacent lounging spot warmed by a gas firepit. Back inside, the living room offers two seating areas centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

      Upstairs, the primary suite comes with a separate fireside lounge area, two walk-in closets, and a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, an ebony-hued soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower, while an entertainment-ready lower level is decked out with a screening/family room hosting a linear fireplace and a wet bar. Rounding it all out is a gated driveway leading to an attached three-car garage, plus a backyard barbecue station flanked by a grassy lawn.

      An al fresco lounging and entertaining patio out front overlooks sweeping mountain vistas.

      Summit Sotheby’s International Realty

      Katsanevas—who was introduced to RHOSLC in Season 3 and became an official snowflake holder in Season 4—founded Lunatic Fringe Salon with her longtime husband Trujillo in the late 1990s in Salt Lake City. The hairdressers currently have nine locations in Utah, Idaho, and Ohio.

      Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis’s Former Beverly Hills Home Lists for $11.25 Million

      by

      If you want these kinds of digs, it’s Californication!

      Anthony Kiedis, the frontman for the Los Angeles-based rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, snapped up a Tuscan-esque home in Beverly Hills way back in 2004, around the same time the group recorded their Grammy-winning album, Stadium Arcadium. The lead singer lived at the gated Davis Drive residence until 2007, when he sold it to screenwriter-director Akiva Goldsman, best known for scripting the four-time Oscar-winning 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind starring Russell Crowe.

      Property records show that Goldsman offloaded the three-and-a-half-acre compound in 2018 for $7.8 million to Seagram heir Eli Bronfman and his then wife Nicole Gertner. In 2022, after they split up, the vine-covered estate was transferred to Gertner, while Bronfman went on to drop $35 million in an off-market deal for a bachelor pad in New York City.

      Heavy wood ceiling beams and a massive fireplace anchor the light-filled living room.

      Todd F. Goodman/LA Light

      All that to say, Gertner is now parting ways with Kiedis’s former abode and has put the place up for sale. This time, the property is priced at a cool $11.25 million. Carl Gambino and Alyson Richards of Compass share the listing with Drew Fenton at Carolwood Real Estate. 

      Originally built in 1951, the 6,000-square-foot spread comprises five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The lavish retreat is oozing with Old World charm and benefits from a bell tower that’s still intact. Accessed via a spiral staircase, the space not only serves as an interesting design element but is equipped to double as an office or a workout studio.

      French doors open to wrought-iron Juliet balconies in the fireside primary suite.

      Todd F. Goodman/LA Light

      Internally, the residence channels a certain European je ne sais quoi with elegant paned windows, glassy French doors, exposed beam ceilings, and stately fireplaces. There are also tons of terracotta tile, natural stone, raw wood, and wrought-iron accents throughout. On the first floor, you’ll find a living area grand in proportions and an open-concept chef’s kitchen. The latter is kitted out with a walk-in pantry with lots of storage and a cozy breakfast nook.  

      Among the more opulent features is the primary suite, which occupies the second level. In true rockstar fashion, the room is complete with private balconies, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. Outside, the grounds feel akin to a Zen-like sanctuary filled with lush greenery and a trellis-covered patio. An alfresco fireplace, swimming pool, and dining area are certainly perks.
