    A Comedian and an Heiress Have Put Their Vintage L.A. Mansion on the Market at $22 Million

    by

    Around a decade ago, Lydia Hearst traded the East Coast for the West Coast. The heiress to William Randolph Hearst’s publishing empire and the daughter of Patty Hearst left behind a New York City condo she purchased in 2008 at age 23 to relocate to bigger marital digs in Los Angeles with her soon-to-be husband, actor and comedian Chris Hardwick.

    Now both those properties have simultaneously hit the market. Hearst’s former digs in Manhattan just listed for $2.2 million with Paul Kolbusz and his team at Corcoran, while her and Hardwick’s impressive estate in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Hollywood Hills is up for sale at $21.5 million with Hardwick’s mother, Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty.

    The terracotta-tiled entry foyer boasts Corinthian-arched columns and a carved wood ceiling.

    Records show Hearst and Hardwick, who have relocated to the Central Coast, acquired their Los Feliz home in 2015 for $11 million and have since undertaken an extensive and meticulous restoration. Originally built and designed almost a century ago for affluent banker Victor Rossetti and his wife Irene at a cost of $47,000 by trailblazing architect Paul R. Williams, the Spanish Colonial Revival villa was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2008. It’s also covered under the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving the historic appearance.

    Set amid two parcels of securely gated land spanning over an acre near Griffith Park, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is known as the Victor Rossetti Residence and features a total of 10 bedrooms and a dozen baths in roughly 9,000 square feet. Two-and-a-half levels of L-shaped living space are laced throughout with coffered and hand-painted ceilings, stained glass windows, whimsical wallpaper, built-in alcoves, and three ornate fireplaces.

    The living room comes with a coffered ceiling and a carved stone fireplace.

    Standing out in the non-staged abode is a striking entry foyer that steps down to a fireside living room, plus a wood-paneled library. A formal dining room and a breakfast nook connect to an updated kitchen sporting floor-to-ceiling tile, top-tier appliances, and an accompanying butler’s pantry and breakfast room, with other highlights including a primary suite with a separate sitting area and a massive walk-in closet, along with a media room, a pub-style lounge, a wine room, and a door disguised as a bookcase that leads to a lower-level room for entertaining.

    Outdoors, the lush grounds host a pool and a summer lounge, a pergola-shaded kitchen and barbecue setup, a fire pit and a two-way fireplace, and a “secret” garden with a koi pond, a citrus grove, and several fountains. Two guest spaces each have a full bath and kitchenette, and a two-car garage is supported by additional parking for up to 25 vehicles. An adjoining property tacked on by the couple includes a 1,500-square-foot home that comes with approved city plans for customization, a renovated pool, and a newly refurbished pool house.

    A combined living and dining area in Hearst’s former N.Y.C. condo offers city and Hudson River views.

    As for Hearst’s former pad (pictured above) on 57th Street in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood, across from the Hearst Tower, the model and actress paid $1.5 million for it 17 years ago; it last sold in 2016 for around $2.5 million.

    Perched on the 30th floor of the Sheffield building, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit has just over 1,100 square feet and features a combined living and dining area offering city and Hudson River views via nearly 25 feet of windows wrapping its corner locale. The kitchen sports a marble backsplash and countertops paired with Bosch, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, a primary bedroom has a bath with a soaking tub and a shower, and another bedroom with a custom built-in Murphy bed can double as an office or den.

      Jerry Bruckheimer’s Former Home in the Hollywood Hills Can Now Be Yours for $10 Million

      by

      A Los Angeles residence that was once home to Jerry Bruckheimer has popped up for sale in the Hollywood Hills. Dubbed the Ajioka House after its original owner, Dr. Richard Ajioka, the 1960s digs designed by noted architects Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman are now on the market for a dash under $10 million. Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Aaron Kirman Group at Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California share the listing.

      Occupied by the mega-producer of blockbuster hits from Top Gun to the Pirates of the Caribbean until the mid-1980s, when he sold it for $510,000, the chalet-like spread went on to transfer in 2008 for $2.5 million to menswear designer and tech entrepreneur Derek Mattison. He undertook a major restoration and remodel in collaboration with the L.A.–based design studio Commune that later garnered a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. It was last sold to Nichols Canyon LLC in 2020 for $6.75 million.

      Hidden behind a high wall and secured gates in the Nichols Canyon area, the hillside property includes a main home and several detached structures spread across nearly an acre of land laced with pepper trees, garden pathways, and a couple of custom ceramic water installations by artist Stan Bitters. A combined total of four bedrooms and five baths are spread across 4,200 square feet, all of it dressed inside and out with rustic reclaimed oak.

      Spanning two stories, the primary dwelling is introduced via a soaring entry foyer displaying large windows and a massive matchstick chandelier. Exposed-beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, and vast expanses of glass run throughout the post-and-beam pad, which is highlighted by a double-height living room anchored by an eye-catching brick and mirror-paneled fireplace.

       The backyard holds a pool, bar and barbecue setup, and fire pit conversation area.

      A separate den/media room is topped with a meditation deck, while a Boffi kitchen is outfitted with a 24-foot stainless and walnut island, Miele appliances, and access to a terrace. A floating staircase leads to an upstairs primary suite, which sports a sky-lit nook with integrated seating, a walk-in closet, and a snazzily tiled bath with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower.

      Elsewhere is a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite, plus a design studio/office and a wellness room with a sauna and Himalayan salt wall. Topping it all off are the lushly landscaped grounds, which are showcased by a pool and a spillover spa alongside a sundeck, a barbecue and bar setup, and a fire pit conversation area. A garage and an accompanying motor court can also accommodate up to eight vehicles.

      Zedd Just Listed His Hollywood Hills Home for $5.5 Million

      by

      Now that he’s had ample time to settle into his lavish Nordic-inspired mansion in Los Angeles that he bought almost two years ago for $18.4 million, Anton Zaslavski—better known to millions of music fans as Zedd—has decided to pare down his property portfolio. He’s hoisting his spare Hollywood Hills pad onto the market at a speck under $5.5 million, with David Kramer and Andrew Buss of Compass sharing the listing.

      The Russian-German DJ and record producer acquired the two-story, gated home in the posh Outpost Estates enclave in 2014 for around $4 million after the success of his breakthrough album, Clarity. He then added his own custom touches and upgrades to the 1950s structure, which offers four bedrooms and six baths in roughly 3,400 square feet adorned with walls of glass offering seamless indoor-outdoor environs. Glitzy amenities include a glass-encased wine display and a recording studio.

      Accordion-style glass doors on both sides of the great room open to the outdoors.

      Among the other highlights is an open-concept great room holding a combined living and dining area, plus a small yet sleek kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a pass-through window that connects to a poolside bar. An upstairs primary suite comes with a fireplace, a private balcony overlooking scenic city and canyon views, and a bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large marble-clad rainfall shower.

      Three additional bedrooms filtered throughout the house each have their own bath and outdoor space, while the lushly landscaped grounds span over a third of an acre and host a heated saltwater pool and a spillover spa surrounded by a wraparound sundeck, along with a pair of fire pits. There’s also a four-car garage.

      A crimson-hued recording studio features a workstation and high-end audio gear.

      Before he acquired his new home known as Odin in late 2023, Zedd offloaded another contemporary Encino residence he bought from former A-list couple Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2021 for $15.2 million to All About That Bass singer Meghan Trainor for just over $17.1 million. Before that, he transferred a place in the mountains high above Beverly Hills that he had owned since 2018 to Black-ish creator Kenya Barris for $18.4 million.

      One of the richest DJs in the world with an estimated net worth of $60 million, the Grammy-winning entertainer is known for his collaborations with the likes of Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes, Disclosure, and Martin Garrix. The 36-year-old also keeps up a rigorous touring schedule, currently performing a Las Vegas residency in partnership with the Tao Group.

      Henrik Fisker’s Scenic Hollywood Hills Mansion Relists at a Discounted $29 Million

      by

      Henrik Fisker first hoisted his contemporary Los Angeles mansion on the market back in late 2024 for nearly $34 million. Almost a year later, the auto designer behind the retro-inspired BMW Z8 roadster, Aston Martin DB9, and failed Fisker Karma luxury plug-in hybrid still hasn’t enticed any takers and has decided to try his hand at offloading the place once again, this time with a slimmed-down $29 million ask. The listing is held by Barron N. Hilton and Tessa Hilton, who recently stepped away as co-CEOs and founders of their Hilton Hilton brokerage to join Compass.

      The property was previously owned by entrepreneur Stratton Sclavos, who completed the existing house in 2015 but lost it to a bank-affiliated entity in a 2020 foreclosure. Fisker and his business partner and wife Geeta Gupta acquired the Hollywood Hills abode tucked away on a secluded yet prime Bird Streets cul-de-sac just above Sunset Strip the following year for roughly $21.8 million.

      The sprawling fireside great room opens to a decked backyard via a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass.

      Nestled behind walls and a double interlocking iron gate, the blocky and angular structure offers a total of six bedrooms and seven baths in 11,800 square feet on three levels accented throughout with travertine and skylights. Vast expanses of glass overlook picturesque city and ocean views from the 0.43-acre parcel, with swanky perks ranging from a Savant system to a gym and wellness center. An attached 20-foot garage with copper-hued doors and lifts can accommodate up to six vehicles.

      A soaring wood front door pivots into the entry foyer, which is flanked on the left by a bookshelf-lined office with a powder room. From there, a spacious great room has a 35-foot-tall ceiling topped with mother-of-pearl light fixtures that sing when the wind blows and a massive two-way fireplace that connects to a lounge and wet bar. An automated wall of glass opens vertically to the backyard, while an adjacent dining room has a picture window looking out to a garden. A family room flows to a sleek wood-paneled kitchen outfitted with a large eat-in island, a La Cornue range, and a butler’s pantry.

      A floating staircase heads upstairs, where the secluded primary suite comes with a glass-railed balcony warmed by a fire pit and a luxe bath sporting dual vanities, a soaking tub, a glassy shower, and two walk-in closets. Down on the lower level is a mirrored gym and a wellness center with pink Himalayan salt walls and a sunken cold-plunge tub, as well as a sauna and a steam room. A media room sits next to a poker lounge surrounded by a glass-encased wine cellar.

      Stealing the show is the fully decked backyard, which is spotlighted by an L-shaped vanishing-edge pool featuring an inset spa and a Baja shelf with daybeds. There are also two fire pits, an alfresco dining spot with a drop-down cover, an outdoor kitchen boasting a Lynx grill, and a bar.

      Fisker, 62, is best known for designing ultra-luxury cars for BMW, Ford, Tesla, and Aston Martin before starting Fisker Automotive in 2007. Despite substantial financing, the company failed. In 2016, he launched Fisker Inc., with the Electric Ocean SUV beginning production in 2022 and delivering in 2023. The company subsequently filed for bankruptcy in 2024.

      An L.A. Home With Ties to Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and More Lists for $7.5 Million

      by

      When David Fillet moved into this nearly century-old Los Angeles home in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills back in the 1970s, the doctor hired a historian to do a deep dive into its past, and what he found was intriguing.

      Not only was the place once owned by Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen, who was frequently visited by his close friends Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, but the original Dracula actor Bela Lugosi had also rented the residence in the early 1930s while his house nearby was being built. Along with a slew of other prominent folks, actress Yvette Mimieux was even rumored to have occupied the Maravilla Road property in the late 1960s.

      Fillet picked up the estate in 1972 for a mere $138,000. Now, for the first time in over 50 years, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style property has popped up on the market again for $7.5 million, with Tom Davila, John Zaffarano, and Kennon Earl of Rare Properties of Compass sharing the listing.

      Originally designed and built for retired physician and surgeon Frederick Dunsmoor in the late 1920s by lesser-known architect Adolph Semrow, Villa Dorada rests beyond gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac parcel spanning a third of an acre, high above Brad Pitt’s newly purchased home. Half a dozen bedrooms and seven baths are spread across 7,400 square feet of decidedly dated yet well-preserved living space on three stories accessible via a wood-paneled elevator. Period details include magnesite floors, an intimate “telephone room,” and the original intercom system.

      The primary bedroom has a sitting area and access to two private balconies.

      Among the highlights is the circular entry foyer, which boasts a spiral staircase and a massive wrought-iron chandelier dangling from a vaulted hand-painted ceiling. From there, a sunken reception parlor comes with a built-in bar and a powder room, and a spacious wood-beamed living room has a decorative tiled fireplace and a glass and wood-trimmed door spilling out to a covered terrace. An adjacent coffer-ceilinged dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen.

      Directly below the main level is an exercise room and a primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a sitting area, dual balconies, a walk-in closet, and a fanciful stone-clad bath with dual vanities and a large glass-encased shower. The bottom-most level, meanwhile, hosts staff quarters with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, along with a fireside recreation room that leads out to a terraced backyard overlooking sweeping city lights and ocean views. There’s also an attached three-car garage out front.

      A Prime-Time Soap Opera Icon’s Rosy Hollywood Hills Home is Up for Grabs at $6 Million

      by

      Two years after his death at age 84, the longtime Los Angeles estate of prime-time soap opera writer and producer David Jacobs is now on the market in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills for just under $6 million after it was initially priced at $7 million. Ed Solorzano and Lauren Ravitz of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties hold the listing.

      A Baltimore native who started out as a writer of magazine articles and nonfiction books, Jacobs went on to create two of the small screen’s most popular shows of all time—Dallas and its spinoff Knots Landing, both of which ran for 14 seasons and notched a total of 700 episodes between them. He’s also known for Paradise, Four Corners, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and Homefront.

      Custom built in 1984 and designed by architects Michael Pearce and Richard Clemenson, the rose-hued architectural spread is perched on two contiguous parcels spanning over an acre. Three separate structures set at the end of a lengthy gated driveway include a main home, a guesthouse, and a studio-topped garage, for a combined total of four bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 6,400 square feet.

      The primary dwelling features three bedrooms and six baths in 4,000 square feet. Three levels boast ’80s-appropriate details, beginning with a pastel color palette and extending to bleached oak floors and copious glass blocks. Expansive windows and multiple patios and terraces overlook picturesque views of Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood sign, the downtown skyline, and the ocean beyond.

      The pool and sundeck are separated by a modern take on a mono-style colonnade.

      David Lynch’s Midcentury Hollywood Hills Compound Lists for $15 Million

      by

      The avant-garde Los Angeles compound assembled and customized over several decades by legendary filmmaker David Lynch has officially popped up for sale, eight months after he passed away at age 78. Consisting of seven separate structures, the asking price for the entire spread is $15 million. Marc Silver and Barry Sloane of The Agency Beverly Hills share the listing.

      Tucked away on five contiguous hillside parcels, amid two-plus acres just below Mulholland Drive in the Outpost Estates neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, the gated property is centered on a pink-hued residence originally designed for writer Marilyn Johnson in the early 1960s by Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The aptly named Marilyn Johnson House, acquired by Lynch in 1987 for $560,000, per The Wall Street Journal, has been recognized by Historic Places LA as an “excellent example of Mid-Century Modern residential architecture.”

      The main home was designed in the 1960s by Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

      The unconventional writer and director—famous for his movie and TV projects ranging from Eraserhead and Blue Velvet to Twin Peaks—went on to purchase a home to serve as a base for his Asymmetrical Productions company, plus a Brutalist-style abode that held a library, a screening room, and an editing suite and later starred in the film Lost Highway. In 1991, he commissioned Lloyd Wright’s son, Eric Lloyd Wright, to create a pool and pool house notched high up on the hillside. There’s also a two-story guesthouse and a one-bedroom space finished in smooth gray plaster—for a combined total of 10 bedrooms and 11 baths in 11,000 square feet.

      Containing roughly 2,000 square feet with three bedrooms, the primary dwelling boasts a cement exterior accented with chevron patterns. Adorned throughout with walls of glass, clerestory windows, natural wood, and metalwork, the minimalist interiors are highlighted by a living room sporting a soaring wood-beam ceiling, an eye-catching sculptural fireplace, and access to a fountain-clad patio. A dining area connects to a galley-style kitchen, which is outfitted with chartreuse green countertops.

      The living room is anchored by a monumental sculptural fireplace.

      Lynch, who was also an accomplished visual artist, musician, and actor, looked to his L.A. compound as a source of creativity and inspiration. “The whole space is just pleasing, gives me a good feeling,” he said in a 1997 article by the German design magazine Form. “So it effects my whole life to live inside of it. And then, sometimes I see things, shapes or something that would go inside of it and that leads to furniture or film.”

      A 1930s L.A. Home Steeped in Hollywood History Just Listed for $2.2 Million

      by

      If the walls of this charming 1930s home in the Laurel Canyon enclave of Hollywood Hills could talk, they would probably regale listeners with tales of how the late Oscar-nominated costume designer Theodora Van Runkle lived there while working on wardrobes for films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather II, and Peggy Sue Got Married—in a studio she reportedly created out of an enormous wine vat culled from the set of Wuthering Heights, no less.

      Or maybe they would speak of the residence’s setting as a creative haven for music legends like Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, and Jim Morrison. In fact, the latter’s Doors bandmates, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, bunked together at a house right down the street. It’s there that the charismatic lead singer was said to crash on occasion, once taking a walk around the surrounding neighborhood and returning with the lyrics for the Billboard chart-topper “People Are Strange.”

      But that’s not all. At one point, Van Runkle shared the home with her ex-husband, actor and photographer Bruce McBroom, who took the iconic shot for Farrah Fawcett’s 1976 red swimsuit poster that’s now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

      The living room is topped with a crystal chandelier hanging from a whitewashed pressed-tin ceiling.

      The commercial illustrator-turned-costume designer died from lung cancer in 2011 at age 83, and the three-bedroom, three-bath home was last sold in late 2015 for $1.7 million. Now, a decade later, this footnote of Hollywood history—and all its intriguing anecdotes—is up for grabs at the tidy sum of $2.25 million. The pad has been dubbed Pebble Court as a nod to outdoor spaces that the also-prolific painter covered in small pebbles. Those areas have since been upgraded with new decking to accommodate events, but some of those small stones have been scattered on pathways as an ode to the onetime owner.

      “Every inch of this home is steeped in artistry, legacy, and vision,” said Madeline Goldberg of Compass, who holds the listing. “It is a true piece of art and still carries the creative energy of Laurel Canyon circa 1967.”

      The kitchen comes with an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a window-lined breakfast nook.

      Tucked away on nearly half an acre at the end of a lengthy gated driveway, the bohemian-chic oasis offers roughly 1,300 square feet of pristine white living space teeming with a mix of hardwood and penny tile floors, wood-paneled walls, casement windows, and soaring pressed-tin ceilings dotted with skylights.

      Among the highlights is a spacious fireside living room that opens to the outside via French doors, plus a sun-drenched kitchen sporting an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary bedroom comes with a fireplace and an en suite bath flaunting a built-in oval soaking tub topped with a duo of stained-glass windows. Adjacent to the primary is a sitting area, which has a fireplace and a spiral staircase leading up to a loft.

      The garden-laced grounds feature a large decked gathering space with a new outdoor kitchen and a flagstone patio that’s ideal for alfresco dining. More reasons to fall in love: a separate one-bedroom, one-bath casita with its own fireplace, kitchen, and living area.

      Rob Zombie Just Sold His Two-House L.A. Compound for Nearly $9 Million

      by

      Three months after they hit the market, a pair of 1950s properties making up Rob Zombie’s longtime compound in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills have officially sold.

      Records show the neighboring Robert “Bouler” Thorgusen-designed residences tucked away behind a shared gated driveway off Hollywood Hills Road went to two separate unnamed buyers who inked both deals for a total of $8.9 million, just $100,000 less than the combined asking price of $9 million.

      Also listed individually by Rick Tyberg, Lauren Duffy, and Abigail Gutwein of Douglas Elliman, the bigger three-bedroom, three-bath spread transferred for $5.5 million, a tad under the $5.6 million ask, while the smaller two-bedroom, two-bath place next door brought in its full price of $3.4 million.

      Set on dual parcels that together span just over seven acres, the midcentury charcoal-hued dwellings were acquired by Zombie and his actress wife Sheri Moon Zombie almost a decade ago in separate transactions for a collective $7 million, with the couple snagging a nifty $2 million profit on the sale.

      The larger of the two homes (above) was constructed in the late 1950s and has 4,100 square feet of split-level living space dotted with numerous skylights. A smattering of light boxes filtered throughout are designed to “enhance mood, depth, and ambience,” per marketing materials.

      A pool passes beneath the post-and-beam pad, while customized lounging and entertaining areas join a fireside primary suite flaunting a private terrace and a bath equipped with an integrated soaking tub and a glass-encased shower. Also on the premises is a flex space that could easily be converted into a studio, an office, or a gallery, along with an alfresco dining area, a fire pit, a cascading waterfall, and a two-vehicle carport.

      9029 Hollywood Hills Road features spiked fencing, a pie-pan carport, and a dramatic folding roofline.

      Built in 1953, the smaller house (above) offers 2,300 square feet across a single level with slate-clad floors and walls of glass. Fronted by artistic spiked fencing and a pie-pan carport, the folded-roof structure is highlighted by a soaring living room boasting the original raised-hearth fireplace, plus a dining area and an eat-in kitchen sporting top-notch Miele and Gaggenau appliances.

      A fireside primary suite features clerestory windows and a bath equipped with a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower, while an adjoining bedroom opens to a garden. The rest of the forested grounds, originally designed by noted landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, host a lap pool and raised spa flanked by a wood sundeck.
