      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.

      Nicole Scherzinger’s $7 Million Home Has Sweeping Views From Downtown L.A. to the Pacific

      by

      Don’t Cha wish you had the keys to this chic Los Angeles home? You might be in luck, because Nicole Scherzinger is letting the “purr-fect” place go!

      A little over eight years after the former Pussycat Dolls lead singer doled out $3.7 for the multi-level residence specifically because of its beautiful views framing the entire Los Angeles Basin—even going so far as to knock down a huge wall and install vast expanses of glass to enhance the scenery from the main living area, per a 2019 Architectural Digest tour—she’s now decided to part ways with her Hollywood Hills spread high above the Sunset Strip, asking a speck under $7 million. Per the listing held by David Parnes and James Harris of Carolwood Estates, it’s also available for rent at a pricey $40,000 per month.

      Scherzinger opened up the living area so the gasp-worthy view can be seen upon entering the house.

      Originally built in 1990 and extensively renovated during Scherzinger’s tenure, the property is cleaved to a steep hillside lot and features four bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 4,600 square feet of neutrally hued living space rife with rustic hardwood floors, high ceilings, and gallery walls that were used to accommodate her vast assemblage of commissioned artwork and career memorabilia. Copious walls of glass also offer up a look at those picturesque vistas from every conceivable vantage point.

      Especially standing out is an open-concept great room, which is accented with rich wood, hand-selected marble, seagrass textures, and doors spilling out onto a wraparound terrace. Within the space is a dining area that adjoins a gourmet kitchen spotlighted by an eat-in island equipped with seats that swivel around to capture the mesmerizing vistas.

      Other highlights include a cozy den sporting a fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, as well as a mirrored gym and a cave-like movie theater with tiered sofa seating for up to 10 guests. The spacious primary suite includes a snazzy linear fireplace and what Scherzinger refers to as a “big old fat, juicy, yummy balcony” hosting a firepit. A marble-clad bath has a steam shower, a full-on glam area, and a duo of soaking tubs—one inside and another on the balcony.

      The rooftop lounge area overlooking L.A. is spotlighted by a waterfall-fed plunge pool.

      The undeniable star of the show is the rooftop lounge area, which contains a heated saltwater plunge pool that’s 6 feet deep, plus a sunbathing deck, a sauna, a wet bar, and last but not least, a whimsical swing where Scherzinger’s been known to literally swing all her cares away while overlooking the City of Angels. An attached two-car garage can also be found on the nearly quarter-acre grounds.

      Born and raised in Hawaii, the Grammy-nominated performer is best known as the former lead singer of the pop girl group the Pussycat Dolls, whose single Don’t Cha topped the charts in 15 countries and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts. In addition to acting, which included a role in the animated Disney film Moana, she’s also served as a judge on the TV talent shows The Sing-Off, The X Factor, and The Masked Singer. Most recently, she was cast as Norma Desmond in the Broadway revival of Sunset Boulevard.

      A Hollywood Producer Is Selling His Celeb-Pedigreed L.A. Home for $7.5 Million

      by

      For the past four years, Brett Mahoney has lived in a Los Angeles residence he purchased for $4.75 million from former married Tinseltown stars Chris Pratt and Anna Farris. Now the Powerbook II: Ghost, Empire, and CSI: Miami producer is flipping his Hollywood Hills estate in the Nichols Canyon enclave back up for sale with a nearly $2.8 million jump in price, asking a smidge under $8 million. The listing is held by Billy Rose and Natasha Sizlo of The Agency.

      Originally built in the late 1970s and owned for seven years before Mahoney’s tenure by the ex-couple—though they hoisted the place up for sale in 2018 shortly after splitting, only for it to languish on the market the next two years—the premises were recently remodeled by Newfield Design and include four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 5,000 square feet of living space. There’s also an attached three-car garage flanked by a motorcourt with room for up to 15 vehicles.

      A breakfast nook with a built-in buffet opens to the outdoors via sliding glass doors.

      Tucked away on a walled and gated parcel of land spanning over a half-acre, high above the Sunset Strip, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is fronted by a palm-lined pathway that empties out at arched front doors opening into a turreted foyer resting beneath a vaulted wood-beam ceiling and displaying a decorative tile floor.

      In addition to a fireside living area, the finely finished interiors sport a cozy family room adorned with built-in bookshelves. An updated kitchen is outfitted with stylish forest-green cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook, while the spacious primary suite features a private balcony, a seating area warmed by a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath holding dual vanities, a spa tub, and a steam room. 

      In addition to a private balcony and luxe bath, the primary suite also offers up a fireside seating area.

      Rocker Ronnie Radke Has Rolled Into a $9 Million Modern Barnhouse in L.A.

      by

      Ronnie Radke, frontman for the heavy metal group Falling in Reverse, has forked over a pricey $9 million for a striking modern barnhouse-style mansion in Hollywood Hills that was originally listed for a smidge under $11 million.

      Perched on a promontory high above the Sunset Strip, amid a parcel spanning over half an acre and accessible via a lengthy gated driveway that ascends nearly 30 feet above sea level, the striking wood and steel structure was designed and built this year by Max Nobel of Nobel L.A. Inside, four bedrooms and a matching number of baths are spread across two levels of open-concept living space accented with Pietra gray marble floors, high vaulted ceilings, and vast expanses of glass offering picturesque views encompassing Downtown L.A., the iconic Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and Pacific Ocean beyond.

      The home’s lower level features a soaring great room with a fireside living area.

      Highlights include a combined living and dining area sporting an elegant and oversized stone fireplace and collapsing Fleetwood glass doors spilling out to a spacious deck ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. The sleek kitchen is furnished with an eat-in island and Miele appliances, and elsewhere are two primary suites featuring walk-in closets and luxe baths sporting custom vanities and soaking tubs.

      Topping it all off are the secluded grounds, which host a pool flanked by a sundeck and a large pool house that can be used as a private retreat or to accommodate guests. A three-car garage with a guard room also can be found on the premises.

      The home sits across from a spacious pool house and three-car garage.

      One of the ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ Stars Is Selling a TV Composer’s Home in L.A. for $6 Million

      by

      Though the reality show Farrah Brittany starred in alongside Mauricio Umansky and her sisters was recently canceled after two seasons on Netflix, the Buying Beverly Hills star is still peddling properties for the family real estate business. In fact, the stepdaughter of Umansky and daughter of Kyle Richards—he the co-founder and CEO of The Agency brokerage firm the series followed, and she his estranged wife and a cast member of The Housewives of Beverly Hills—has just hoisted a particularly eye-catching residence in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood Hills up for sale, asking a smidge under $6 million.

      In another TV-related twist, the home is owned by Shuki Levy. And while he’s not exactly a household name, if you happen to be a connoisseur of animated cartoons from the 1980s and ’90s, you’ve likely come across his handiwork. There are the memorable theme songs he composed for 130-plus children’s shows, including Inspector Gadget and He-Man and Masters of the Universe, and his work as one-half of the producing team that created the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise.

      The cozy family room is adorned with a fireplace and wet bar.

      Records indicate that Levy and his chef and food blogger wife Tori Avery doled out $1.45 million in spring 1994 for the property, which is nestled amid a gated cul-de-sac parcel spanning almost 1.6 acres and includes a Spanish-style main house, plus a wood-clad guest cabin—for a total of seven bedrooms and an equal number of baths in nearly 6,500 square feet overlooking sweeping city lights and mountain views.

      As for the multi-level primary residence, a double-height entry foyer displaying a curving floating staircase flows to a dedicated office space, as well as formal living and dining rooms separated by a double-sided fireplace. A gourmet kitchen boasting marble countertops, a workstation, a center island, top-tier Viking appliances, and a breakfast nook connects to the fireside family room, which comes complete with a wet bar and a powder room.

      The charming wood-clad guest cabin features a private deck overlooking the grounds.

The bottom floor, meanwhile, offers a gym, a movie theater, a game room, and direct access to garden-laced grounds hosting a resort-style pool and spa, a koi pond, a gazebo, a barbecue, a pizza oven, and plenty of spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.

      Rounding it all out is the 582-square-foot guest cabin, which sits amid the treetops and features a bedroom, a full bath, a kitchenette, a loft, a sauna, and its own deck. There’s also a spacious stone motorcourt out front that can hold up to 10 vehicles.

      Jeremy Renner’s Longtime L.A. Home Hits the Market for $13 Million

      by

      A little over a decade ago, Jeremy Renner acquired a 1960s abode in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. There, in what he has referred to as his “forever home,” the veteran film and TV actor and prolific real estate developer added a wealth of particularly lavish personal touches. He also spent time recuperating from a horrific snowplow accident that occurred at his Nevada residence in early 2023 and nearly cost him his life.

      “I split my time between a house in Lake Tahoe and my home in Los Angeles,” Renner said on his Tumblr account awhile back. “In both, I spent money on things I wouldn’t have done in a spec home. I installed a massive solar-panel package that’s one of the biggest in L.A. You’d never do that on a house you’re going to sell, because it takes four or five years to get your money back on the investment. I wouldn’t have built a giant lagoon with a dive bridge and waterfall sculpted by the guys who do it for the San Diego Zoo. That’s a little too radical for some buyers, but I’m building a house I’m going to live in for the rest of my years. It’s about my taste and my desires.”

      A detached recording studio Renner installed could easily be converted into a home office.

      But that was then! Now, 12 years later, the Mayor of Kingstown star has opted to part with his longtime home and has the place up for sale, asking a smidge under $13 million—or around $9 million more than he paid back in spring 2012. Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news, Renner extensively renovated the premises during his tenure to the tune of about $5.5 million, most notably more than doubling the size of the house while being sure to retain its midcentury roots. He also added a detached recording studio and graded the sloped lot to allow for more functional outdoor space.

      An open-concept living area is adorned with a large raised-hearth fireplace and a bar area.

      Originally built in the early 1960s, the low-slung structure is tucked securely behind walls and gates amid a cul-de-sac parcel of land spanning over an acre within the Nichols Canyon area, near Runyon Canyon Park. A total of six bedrooms and nine baths are spread across 4,000 square feet of open-concept living space, which is adorned throughout with dark gray polished floors, wood-beam ceilings dotted with clerestory windows and skylights, and Fleetwood sliding glass doors providing seamless indoor/outdoor environs.

      Especially standing out is a mirror-lined living area boasting an eye-catching fireplace and a snazzy bar. Other highlights include a screening room and a formal dining space that connects to a gourmet kitchen hosting dual islands, top-notch stainless appliances (including a pricey La Cornue range), a walk-in pantry, and an accompanying breakfast nook with banquette seating. A spacious primary suite flaunts a private wraparound balcony, dual closets, and a luxe bath.

      Four additional en-suite bedrooms all have access to the picturesque grounds, which are spotlighted by a pool and spa with bridges and waterfalls, as well as plenty of spots that are ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. A separate guesthouse with an en-suite bedroom and an attached three-car garage also can be found on the property, which is listed by Rayni Williams and Branden Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates.

      According to WSJ, the 53-year-old Northern California native and two-time Oscar-nominated actor is selling because he is looking to downsize and focus on his recovery. “I need to kind of move on to other things,” said Renner, who recently wrapped filming of the latest season of the TV series Mayor of Kingstown and is gearing up to work on a book about his near-death experience and recovery.

      This 1920s Los Angeles Estate Was Once Home to Ava Gardner and Laurence Olivier

      by

      Nothing says old Hollywood glamour like a celebrity-connected estate in Los Angeles. Originally built in 1927, this Spanish-style pad in the Hollywood Hills has housed a slew of stars in its nearly century-long history including Oscar-nominated actress Ava Gardner and cinema legend Laurence Olivier. Fun fact: It’s also the former residence of English comedian Stan Laurel. On the market with Hilton & Hyland and Forbes Global Properties, 3351 N Knoll Drive is currently listed as a rental asking a cool $18,500 a month. 

      Designed by Franz Herding, the hillside oasis has five bedrooms and six bathrooms across a spacious 5,839 square feet. The Swiss-born architect moved to Los Angeles in 1923 where he became the city planning engineer before he died in 1968. According to the Pacific Coast Architecture Database (PCAD), Herding and his family actually lived next door at 3355 N Knoll Drive. 

      The living room features a fireplace, arched display niches, and a leafy view into the surrounding treetops.

      Given its location in the Hollywood Knolls neighborhood near Lake Hollywood, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors are intentionally blurred, so you never feel too far from the natural surroundings . A broad, curvilinear terrace along the back of the house offers 180-degree views over the neighborhood and below, the terraced gardens include hedge-lined walking paths and steps that lead down to a small stretch of grass.

      The multi-story abode is loaded with swoon-worthy period details including a speakeasy butler’s bar with a wine cellar. Elsewhere, you’ll find traditional Spanish elements such as wood-beamed ceilings, polished hardwood floors, casement picture windows, and terracotta tile accents. The fireside living room is bright and airy with a leafy view, while the formal dining room opens onto the expansive elevated terrace and provides even more incentive to hang outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite is kitted out with a massive walk-in closet, more beamed ceilings, a sitting area, and a private terrace.  

      The spacious primary suite includes indoor-outdoor sitting areas.

      The Hollywood Hills has long been a sought-after locale for celebrities. Beloved for its hill-hugging homes, epic vistas, and rolling landscape, it continues to draw hordes of A-listers to its narrow, winding street. English comedian and Get Him To the Greek actor Russell Brand is currently selling his home in the Outpost Estates area—interestingly, he once owned a castle-like home that previously belonged to Olivier—and, in the same area, the home where Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom once resided recently hit the market for $5 million.

      Russell Brand’s Hacienda-Style Hideaway in L.A. Just Hit the Market for $3.5 Million

      by

      Back in fall 2019, Russell Brand plunked down $3 million and change for a hacienda-style hideaway in Los Angeles. Now the British comedian and actor who appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek has decided to offload his secluded property after nearly five years of ownership, with the price tag set at $3.5 million.

      Hidden away behind a gated driveway, amid a half-acre parcel of land nestled within the celeb-studded Outpost Estates neighborhood of Hollywood Hills, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure was originally built back in the 1950s. Since renovated, the three-bedroom, five-bath home offers 3,500 square feet of two-level living space boasting hardwood floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, picture windows, and skylights throughout.

      Though images aren’t available, the listing shows a tiled entry foyer that flows to a light-filled living room displaying a wood-burning fireplace tucked into the corner and two sets of pocketing glass doors opening to a covered al fresco dining terrace. An adjacent dining area connects to the “charming” eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with wood cabinetry and a patterned tile backsplash.

      Upstairs, the primary suite has a fireplace, a private balcony, and an updated bath with dual vanities, a built-in spa tub, and a shower; and the fully fenced grounds host a swimming pool, an outdoor shower, several seating areas, meandering pathways, and a meditation hut. There’s also a detached carport flanked by a motorcourt, plus a separate kitchenette-equipped guest unit that rests alongside a fountain-clad courtyard.

      Brand, who was recently baptized amid rape and sexual assault claims made by multiple women, has owned other homes in the Hollywood Hills through the years. During his short marriage to Katy Perry, the couple paid $6.5 million for a Mediterranean-style compound that they never even moved into before selling it at a million-dollar loss to Las Vegas-based businessman Lorenzo Doumani. Brand also once owned the former castle-like home of Laurence Olivier, which he sold some years ago.

      It’s no secret that Outpost Estates has long been a favored residential enclave for celebrities. Besides Brand, homeowners have included Orlando Bloom, whose former black-painted mansion is currently on the market for $5 million, as well as Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, Bob Barker, Winona Ryder, Shaun White, and Charlize Theron. More
