Shepard Fairey Lists His Hillside Contemporary Home in L.A. for $4.7 Million
A multilevel home full of hope has just hit the market in Los Angeles. The $4.7 million spread is the residence of Shepard Fairey, the street artist best known for his 2008 stencil portrait of Barack Obama, then the Democratic candidate for president. Well known for his activism, Shepard also helped spearhead the “We the People” campaign that debuted during the Women’s Marches of 2017.
The contemporary abode, built in 2007 and acquired by Shepard in 2015 for about $2.5 million, sits on a steeply sloped street-to-street double lot in the Franklin Hills area of the Los Feliz neighborhood. An 18-foot glass entryway ferries you into the foyer, where a terrazzo-patterned floor is paired with handcrafted octagonal cherry-paneled faceted ceilings. A stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the sunken living room, while the sleek kitchen includes enough space for a spot to have a casual bite to eat.
The gleaming terrazzo floor in the dining room features a diamond-shaped wooden inset.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom is accompanied by a sizable walk-in closet and a gray-green mosaic-tiled bathroom with a soaking tub. There are three additional bedrooms up here, along with a flex room that can serve as a gym, studio, or media lounge. Other features of the main residence include wooden built-ins, a tucked-away work area, a wine room, and a deck with sweeping views of the city surrounding you.
Notched into the beautifully landscaped slope below the main house is a lengthy swimmer’s pool, ideal for morning or evening laps. And set atop a multi-car garage is a glass-walled poolside guesthouse comprising an airy, one-room space equipped with a kitchenette and dining/lounge area, a desk, and a bedroom. Patricia Ruben and Alan Melkonyan of Sotheby’s International Realty—Los Feliz Brokerage hold the listing.

Fairey’s artistic work is held in the collections of many major museums, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, but he is just as involved in the world of style. He founded the streetwear brand Obey in 2001, and in more recent years he’s teamed up with the watchmaker Hublot on limited-edition timepieces.
The 55-year-old artist and activist was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He’s lived in Providence, Rhode Island, and San Diego, California, but has been a resident of Los Feliz since at least 2005, when he shelled out about $1.4 million for a 1920s Mediterranean house that he sold in 2016 for $2.3 million to the actor Jason Segel.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford Relists Two of Drake’s Former SoCal Homes for $13.5 Million
A little over a year after they first hit the market with a combined $12.5 million ask, two side-by-side properties in the San Fernando Valley’s affluent Hidden Hills community owned by Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford have popped up for sale again, this time with a million-dollar jump in price. The Super Bowl-winning signal caller and his longtime wife Kelly are now seeking nearly $13.5 million for the 1950s ranch-style houses they acquired from music superstar Aubrey “Drake” Graham in 2022. Michelle Graci of The Beverly Hills Estates holds the listings at 5840 Round Meadow Road and 5854 Round Meadow Road.
According to sources, the residences were temporarily removed from the market so they could be available for fellow Rams teammates and coaches moving to L.A. The increased price is reportedly due to some recent enhancements made to the homes, as well as the privacy and security the guard-gated neighborhood provides and the changing real estate market.
The updated four-bedroom, five-bath home at 5840 Round Meadow Road sits on 1.6 acres with a pool.

Records show the Staffords plunked down $5 million for one of the homes and then forked over another $6 million for the more modest place right next door. The $11 million they paid for the properties was a whopping $3.6 million more than the combined $7.4 million Drake originally wanted. The Canadian rapper and singer initially placed all three homes that made up his sprawling Hidden Hills compound on the market, asking $22.2 million. The final piece of his puzzle, a 16,000-square-foot Tudor-style house known as the YOLO (You Only Live Once) Estate, eventually went to high-powered attorney Makan Delrahim at a discounted $11.3 million.
As for the Staffords’ 1.6-acre property now on the market at 5840 Round Meadow Road for $6.5 million, the traditional four-bedroom, five-bath ranch home offers a little more than 3,600 square feet boasting hardwood floors, high ceilings, and fireplaces throughout. Described in previous marketing materials as “exquisitely transformed,” the wood and brick structure also has floor-to-ceiling doors that open to an alfresco entertaining area, plus landscaped grounds hosting a heated pool, a pool house, a barbecue area, and a pizza oven, along with an 800-square-foot guesthouse.
The three-bedroom, three-bath house at 5854 Round Meadow Road has two acres with a private horse trail.

The adjacent two-acre estate asking almost $7 million features a 2,400-square-foot, brick-accented house with three bedrooms, three baths, and rustic interiors that include vaulted wood-beam ceilings and an antique brick fireplace and built-in seating in the living room. There’s also a private horse trail in the backyard.
Ever since Stafford was traded to the Rams a few years ago, the former Detroit Lions quarterback has doled out more than $69 million for five Hidden Hills properties. In addition to the former Drake homes currently on the market, the 37-year-old NFL star still owns a newly built farmhouse and an adjacent winery estate. He previously sold a glassy mansion elsewhere in the celeb-studded enclave to private aviation CEO Bill Papariella for $21 million.

This $3.2 Million L.A. Home Was Once Owned by the Mayor Who Brought the Dodgers to Town
This striking Georgian Colonial home oozes with classy sex appeal from the outset—starting with the colorful pop of its bright red façade, continuing on to a fully restored 1950s O’Keefe and Merritt range in the butter-yellow kitchen, and ending with an enchanting backyard that looks like it came straight out of a storybook.
Acquired by a successful entertainment industry couple 26 years ago, the place has since been meticulously restored and updated. Now it’s back on the market on one of the best streets in the historic Windsor Square neighborhood of Los Angeles, asking a dash under $3.2 million. The listing is held by Joe Lupariello Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
The cozy taupe-hued den has a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and French doors leading outside.

Former Disney executive Kevin Brockman and his screenwriter partner Dan Berendsen doled out a mere $680,000 back in 1999 for the century-old house, which was originally built in 1920 and owned at one time by the late 36th mayor of L.A., Norris Poulson, who is probably most remembered for bringing the Brooklyn Dodgers to L.A. and leading the construction of LAX during his time in office from 1953 to 1961.
Nestled on less than a quarter of an acre just blocks away from the shops and restaurants of Larchmont Village, the structure’s stately red brick façade is accented by a portico-topped front door and a trio of dormer windows. Once inside, three bedrooms and an equal number of baths are spread across a little more than 3,000 square feet of colorful living space on two levels boasting the original hardwood floors, custom millwork and moldings, plaster walls, glass doorknobs, and vintage light fixtures. New sound and security systems have also been added to the mix.
The kitchen comes with butter-yellow cabinetry and a fully restored 1950s O’Keefe and Merritt range.
PostRAIN Productions/Jeff Ong
Standing out upon entry is a black-and-white checkerboard foyer, which has a space beneath the stairs that’s been converted into a wine closet. A fireside living room opens to a cozy den with a fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and French-style sliding doors spilling outside, while a formal dining room connects to a kitchen that, along with the antique range, is equipped with soapstone countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, and an accompanying breakfast nook.
Other highlights include an upstairs primary bedroom sporting dual walk-in closets and a bath outfitted with a double console sink, a spa tub, and a separate shower. Elsewhere on this level are two guest bedrooms that share a bath, plus a sprawling balcony/deck area that has a spiral staircase leading down to a charming hedge-lined backyard hosting a network of brick terraces, as well as a pool and spa. An adjacent two-car garage with a vaulted ceiling is currently being used as a flex space/family room.

Almost three decades since it sold for $1.8 million to supermodel Cindy Crawford and was later picked up for $5.5 million by actress Jennifer Garner—she went on to invite Ben Affleck to move in after they were married before pulling up stakes in 2009—a star-studded home in a prime Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles has […] More

‘Modern Family’ Alum Ed O’Neill Lists His Spare L.A. Home for $6.7 Million
Back in 2004, while he was starring as Al Bundy in Married… with Children, Ed O’Neill doled out $2.6 million for a Los Angeles home in the horse-friendly Sullivan Canyon community on the border of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. A few years later, after he snagged the role of Jay Pritchett in Modern Family, the actor and his longtime actress wife Catherine Rusoff picked up a second place nearby for $3 million. Now the couple has put the first-mentioned residence up for sale at a smidge under $6.7 million with Nancie Richards of Core Real Estate Group.
Set on almost a third of an acre off historic Old Ranch Road, the hacienda-style structure was designed by architects Cliff May, widely touted as the “father of the California ranch house,” and Chris Choate in the early 1950s. Tucked down a private lane that leads to a motor court and two-car garage, the single-level house sports four bedrooms and three baths in almost 3,200 square feet of living space infused with light via walls of glass and skylights. Filtered throughout is a mix of terracotta and wide-plank wood floors, plaster walls, and wood-beam ceilings.

A pair of tall, access-controlled wood doors next to the garage lead to an enclosed courtyard that serves as an entry into the home’s U-shaped layout, where highlights include a sunken fireside living room with a built-in window seat and an adjacent family room anchored by an eye-catching raised-hearth fireplace. The dining room comes with a third fireplace, while a modernized galley kitchen is outfitted with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.
A separate wing holds an office and an attractive primary suite, which features yet another fireplace and sliding glass doors spilling out to a patio, as well as a walk-in closet with its own safe and a bath spotlighted by a pedestal soaking tub.
A wine cave with plenty of room for your favorite vintages can be found just outside the house.

In addition to a standalone wine cave, the lush greenery-encased grounds also host numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and dining and a pool with a spa and water slide. A bamboo-laced pathway meanders its way to a meditation garden lorded over by a Buddha statue.
As for O’Neill and Rusoff’s other house down the street, the couple acquired that two-bedroom, two-bath spread from cinematographer Robert Richardson in 2011 for just over $3 million. Designed by the aforementioned Cliff May in 1953 as his personal residence (and known as the Experimental Ranch House), the 3,165-square-foot abode was restored and refined by Marmol Radziner during Richardson’s ownership.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger’s Former L.A. Home Hits the Market for $15 Million
It’s not complicated to understand why Avril Lavigne once resided at this Los Angeles property.
The six-bedroom, nine-bath abode in the San Fernando Valley’s Sherman Oaks neighborhood was formerly owned by the Canadian singer-songwriter and her ex-husband Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. Fully renovated since the couple lived here, the $15 million manse now offers more than 10,000 square feet of living space. James Harris, David Parnes, and Kris Everett at Bond Street Partners hold the listing.
The finished attic has a fireplace-centered living room and a funky tiled bar.
Urban Aisle
After you enter through the property’s gates and up the circular drive, the front door leads you into a grand foyer anchored by a curving double staircase. The double-height living room is framed by windows that allow light to flood the space, while the nearby family room is centered around a limestone fireplace. The white-washed chef’s kitchen sports modern appliances and opens to the formal dining room, lined with wooden French doors.
Elsewhere, you’ll find an ocean-blue office with coffered ceilings and a fully equipped gym. The primary suite comes with its own fireplace and sitting lounge, while the ensuite bathroom’s soaking tub is situated within a large marble shower. All the other bedrooms have their own bathroom and walk-in closet, too. The cherry on top, quite literally, is the finished attic: Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and skylights cover the upper level’s fireplace-centered living room and funky tiled bar. There’s even enough room for a billiards setup, if you consider yourself a pool shark.
The backyard has pickleball, basketball, and bocce.
Urban Aisle
On the grounds, you can take a dip in the saltwater pool and spa. A full bar with a built-in grill sits just outside the shaded patio, where a gas fireplace will keep you warm on chilly nights. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the pickleball court, the basketball hoop, and the bocce area. Even the detached three-car garage has something to offer beyond storage: Sitting atop the structure is a home theater with a lounge, library nook, and snack station—no need to transport your popcorn and candy from the main residence.
In recent years, Sherman Oaks has become a hotbed for celebs looking to lie low. Just last month, the actors Neve Campbell and JJ Feild listed their Colonial-style home in the neighborhood for $4.3 million. Also in April, the YouTube star Alpharad spun his modern Sherman Oaks abode on the market for $5 million.

F1 Heiress Petra Ecclestone’s Modern L.A. Mansion Just Listed for $42 Million
Back in 2022, Petra Ecclestone and Sam Palmer sold a modern farmhouse-style residence on the west side of Los Angeles to NBA star Russell Westbrook for nearly $34 million—almost $11 million more than the $22.7 million they paid just three years before. Soon after, the Formula 1 racing heiress/fashion designer and her real-estate agent husband doled out $30.5 million in a clandestine off-market deal for a recently built mansion in the posh Brentwood Park neighborhood.
The couple went on to add some personal touches to their new abode, which packs seven bedrooms and a dozen baths into 13,500 square feet of modern yet warm living space on three levels. Now the sleekly reimagined spread has popped up for sale again with a significant jump in price, asking a speck under $42 million. Palmer and Blair Chang of The Agency hold the listing.

Sited amid a flat, half-acre parcel on prime Rockingham Avenue—the street made world famous by O.J. Simpson in the 1990s—the brick-clad house is painted a trendy shade of dark gray and lies securely behind walls and gates on lushly landscaped grounds lined with mature olive trees. Inside, inviting cream-hued interiors are adorned with 12-foot ceilings complemented by wide-plank, white oak floors and hand-crafted Roman plaster walls.
Among the main-level highlights are a trio of seating areas, along with two offices, a formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen boasting top-notch stainless appliances, a spacious eat-in island, a breakfast nook, and a secondary prep kitchen. Upstairs, five ensuite bedrooms in a private wing include a fireside primary suite sporting a balcony and dual dressing rooms and baths, while the lower level offers an entertainment lounge with a seated bar, a movie theater, a golf simulator, a steam room-equipped gym, and a guest suite.

Elsewhere is a dedicated staff area with its own kitchen, as well as a “dog room” and a security suite with state-of-the-art monitoring technology. The amenities continue outdoors, where a large sundeck-encased pool is paired with hot and cold plunges, a soccer pitch, a custom-built treehouse, and an in-ground trampoline. There’s also a garage and motor court with parking for up to 12 vehicles, plus a carriage-style driveway for guests.
Though the L.A. fires earlier this year played into their decision to sell, the couple told The Wall Street Journal they are also eager to embark upon their next house-flipping project. Ecclestone, the youngest daughter of British billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, is perhaps best known for owning The Manor, a Holmby Hills mega-mansion built by the late primetime TV titan Aaron Spelling and his socialite wife, Candy Spelling, that she bought in 2011 for $85 million and sold in 2019 for a whopping $120 million.
