      Rapper Kid Cudi’s 12-Acre Spread in Suburban L.A. Is Up for Grabs at $8.5 Million

      by

      You might not have been lucky enough to snag some of his snazzy belongings that were recently up for auction—a custom 14-karat gold N.E.R.D. pendant by Jacob & Co. and a pair of rare Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Lows sneakers, just to name a couple. But now’s your chance to pick up Kid Cudi’s actual home, because the Grammy-winning musician is looking to hand over the keys to his nearly 12-acre estate in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas for a dash under $8.5 million.

      Records show the Cleveland-born singer, songwriter, producer, and actor whose real name is Scott Mescudi doled out $7.7 million for the 2001-built Mediterranean mansion in summer 2021. Glitzy amenities include a movie theater and a fitness room with its own bath, plus a resort-like backyard hosting a lagoon-style pool and spa nestled beside a thatched-roof cabana with a kitchen and barbecue setup, as well as a fire pit, a sports court, and a putting green.

      The dark-hued movie theater has a ceiling-mounted projection system and tiered seating.

      Tucked away in an exclusive gated enclave, the creamy stucco and shingle-roof structure is accessed via a secured driveway that spills into a spacious motor court flanked on either side by attached garages that can accommodate up to four vehicles. Inside the brick-accented entryway, a soaring travertine-clad foyer with a striking bifurcated staircase flows to roughly 9,000 square feet of two-level living space boasting a total of six bedrooms and eight baths.

      A fireside family room sports a climate-controlled wine closet with room for 120 bottles and French doors opening seamlessly to a pergola-shaded terrace warmed by a large stone fireplace. Abutting the family room is a sleekly designed gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with dual waterfall-edge marble islands, high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook.

      The resort-like backyard hosts a lagoon-style pool decked out with a spa, waterfalls, and a slide.

      Rounding out the listing, which is held by Eric Lavey of Sotheby’s International Realty, is your very own hillside vineyard.

      by

      After more than a decade of ownership, married Tinseltown stalwarts Brad Bird and Elizabeth Canney are saying so long to their historic Spanish Colonial Revival home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz.

      The couple—he a director/producer of The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Tomorrowland, and Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, and she a film editor for Big and Batteries Not Included—are asking a dash under $6 million for the residence they acquired in late 2014 for just over $4 million.

      The charming entrance courtyard is centered around an Andalusian fountain.

      Originally built and designed in the late 1920s by architect John William Chard and nestled on almost one-third of an acre, the attractive stucco and terracotta roof structure features four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in 4,270 square feet of thoughtfully restored and modernized living space. There are quarter-sawn oak floors, plaster walls, and casement windows flaunting antique hardware and wavy glass panes throughout, plus numerous French doors opening to flat grassy grounds hosting a pool and spa, a citrus orchard, and a grapevine-covered pergola.

      Introducing the abode is an enclosed courtyard with arched columns, Saltillo tile, Moroccan pendants, and an Andalusian fountain. Once inside the hand-carved wood front door, an entry foyer flows to a soaring step-down living room sporting a wood-burning stone fireplace, along with an adjacent fireside library/media room with ornate built-in cabinetry. A window-lined dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with soapstone countertops, a subway tile backsplash, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a separate breakfast room.

      Hallmark Star Heather Hemmens Lists Her SoCal Treehouse for $2.3 Million

      by

      Through the years, Heather Hemmens has amassed an extensive acting resume. After her breakout role as Alice Verdura in the WB series Hellcats, she went on to snag parts in If Loving You Is Wrong, Yellowstone, the Roswell reboot, and Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! with Jamie Foxx. Along the way, she became a regular on the Hallmark Channel, most recently starring in Christmas Under the Lights and The Groomsmen First Look. She’s also branched out to directing and producing.

      Now Hemmens is shifting gears on the real estate front, hoisting her hideaway in a rural area of L.A.’s Topanga Canyon in the foothills above Malibu on the market for nearly $2.3 million. That’s around $800,000 more than she paid for the place in early 2021, but she did add some personal touches to the 1970s treehouse-style residence during her tenure. Neyshia Go of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Beverly Hills Brokerage holds the listing.

      The voluminous dining room has a cozy lounge area and French doors opening out to a deck.

      Set on nearly half an acre of land providing mountain views, the beige and brown wood-sided structure stands out against its forested setting and has three bedrooms and two baths in roughly 3,400 square feet. Rustic yet modern living space on two levels boasts vaulted wood-beam ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and large windows throughout. There’s also a lower-level guest suite with its own kitchen, living and dining areas, bedroom, and bath, along with a small nook that currently serves as a gym.

      Among the highlights is a sunken living room sporting a stacked-stone fireplace that stretches to the ceiling and French doors spilling out to a balcony. The glass-lined dining room is accompanied by a lounge area, while an eat-in kitchen is outfitted with white and wood-toned cabinetry, a wine fridge, and stainless appliances. A fireside primary has a multi-hued slate bath equipped with dual vanities, an elevated soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.

      Alfresco lounging spots meander among the oak-laced grounds overlooking the mountains.

      Diane Keaton’s Pinterest-Inspired Home in L.A. Is Up for Grabs at $28.9 Million

      by

      After nearly 14 years of ownership, Diane Keaton has decided to part ways with her Los Angeles digs in the horse-friendly Sullivan Canyon community on the border of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. The Oscar-winning Annie Hall actress, interior design author, and prolific house flipper is asking $28.9 million for the sprawling residence, which sits right next door to a place owned by fellow Hollywood legend Ben Affleck. Andrew Gulyas of Destination Home holds the listing.

      Records show Keaton doled out $4.7 million for the property in 2011 and then set out to create her combination barn/factory dream home. Using the photo-sharing app Pinterest for inspiration, she enlisted architect David Takacs and designers Stephen Shadley, Cynthia Carlson, and Toben Windahl to convert an existing house into an all-new earthquake- and fire-resistant rustic-industrial structure that was completed in 2015. She later penned a book based on the project called The House That Pinterest Built.

      The main living area is spotlighted by a fireplace etched into a whitewashed brick wall stretching to the ceiling.

      Fully clad inside and out with 75,000 reclaimed clay bricks she handpicked and had shipped from Chicago and capped by a steel roof donning a silo, the eye-catching residence features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 9,200 square feet of living space on two levels adorned throughout with a mix of hardwood, brick, and stained concrete floors, French and sliding barn doors, and large steel-framed commercial windows for loads of natural light.

      Nestled amid a walled and gated parcel spanning nearly three-quarters of an acre within the Riviera Ranch enclave, which was developed by noted architect Cliff May, the walled and gated dwelling is highlighted by a main living area sporting high wood-beam ceilings dotted with large metal pendant light fixtures and a fireplace embedded within a whitewashed brick wall. Also standing out is an expansive sky-lit kitchen, which boasts a blue-gray island and matching cabinetry accented with chicken wire, a tall Sub-Zero cooler and an oversized vintage cabinet for wine storage, and a walk-in pantry.

      Centered around a striking staircase, the library is lined with bookshelves accessible via a rolling ladder.

      Elsewhere is a formal dining room, as well as a library with built-in bookshelves and a pair of primary suites. Once outside, the inviting tree-laced grounds host a rustic wood-clad guesthouse nestled alongside a heated pool with a spillover spa, along with a fireside patio ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a circular driveway leading to a spacious motor court flanked by a detached two-car garage, and lest someone forget where they are, some massive 3-D letters hanging on a brick wall that spell out California.

      Hollywood Hypenate Peter Horton’s Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Lists for $8 Million

      by

      Many years after his run as literary professor Gary Shepherd on the Emmy-winning TV series thirtysomething made him a household name, Peter Horton doled out $2.6 million for a quintessential California Spanish home on the Westside of Los Angeles. Now the actor, who has since transitioned into directing and producing high-profile shows like Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, has decided to put the Santa Monica digs he has owned since 2002 up for sale, asking a smidge under $8 million. David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties holds the listing.

      Built and designed in the late 1990s by architect Bob Ramirez, the striking creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away behind hedges and gates, amid a corner parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre. Inside, five bedrooms and six baths are spread across roughly 5,100 square feet of multi-level living space boasting a mix of hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, arched doorways, built-ins, and French doors in every room spilling out to multiple terraces and balconies.

      The living room is topped by an iron-railed loft that serves as a library.

      A stone walkway passes through a private courtyard on its way up to the hand-carved wood front door, which opens into an entry foyer that leads to an office and a double-height living room spotlighted by a wood-burning stone fireplace, a minstrel balcony, and a library loft. There’s also a formal dining room, plus a family room that connects to a spacious kitchen sporting custom cabinetry, a sink-equipped island, top-tier Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook.

      Other highlights include a primary suite flaunting a trio of balconies, dual fitted closets, a separate office retreat, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower, as well as a top-floor mediation room adorned with wraparound windows and a cozy built-in sofa. Per the marketing materials, there’s also a rooftop terrace offering city skyline views.

      The spacious kitchen flows to a family room with wood-trimmed French doors leading outside.

      Christopher Amitrano/CS8 Photo

      As for the grassy grounds, they’re laced with mature gardens and host a tiered fountain, a sandy children’s play area, and a raised vegetable planter. A detached two-car garage can also be found on the premises, which are sited near the beach and the bustling Montana Avenue shopping and dining district.

      The 71-year-old Washington native, who was married to actress Michelle Pfeiffer for much of the ’80s and has long maintained a two-bedroom, one-bath oceanfront cottage in the California town of Cambria, was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” while he was on thirtysomething. In addition to Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, Horton has also directed and produced The Shield, The Wonder Years, The Philanthropist, and American Odyssey.

      Stevie Wonder Once Called This SoCal Estate Home. Now It Can Be Yours for $15 Million.

      by

      If you’ve always wanted to live like a legendary singer and songwriter with countless hits and awards under his belt, now’s your chance. The sprawling SoCal estate where Stevie Wonder resided with his family for over a decade has just popped up for sale in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, asking $15 million. The listing, which is also available for rent at $65,000 a month, is shared by Branden Williams, Rayni Williams, Dennis DeWalt, and Brandon Meneses of The Beverly Hills Estates.

      Wonder purchased the home in October 2000 for nearly $2.9 million for his then-soon-to-be wife, clothing designer Kai Millard (Milla) Morris. Though the I Just Called to Say I Love You crooner moved out after their 2012 divorce, she has remained in the residence ever since and is now selling because their two sons are grown, according to The Wall Street Journal.

      A music room holds Wonder’s rare Bösendorfer piano, which is not included in the sale.

      Built in 1992 and recently renovated, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away on a nearly three-acre hillside parcel within the exclusive gated Hidden Hills West neighborhood. Six bedrooms and an equal number of baths are spread across more than 11,100 square feet of three-level living space that boasts the same acoustically ideal, high ceilings the 25-time Grammy-winning musician enjoyed while practicing and singing tunes with his family.

      Upon entering the massive pivoting wood front door, a double-height marble entry foyer displaying a spiral staircase flows to a formal fireside dining room topped by a pendant ring-shaped light fixture. Other highlights include a family room sporting a trio of picture windows, a wet bar, and wine storage, plus a gourmet kitchen decked out with chevron-patterned parquet wood floors, custom cabinetry, a book-matched marble eat-in island, and top-notch Miele and Sub-Zero appliances.

      A freeform pool and spillover spa are bordered by a sundeck surrounded by landscaped gardens.

      Holding court upstairs is an office with a marble fireplace and gold-leaf chandelier, along with a junior primary suite that has its own living room. A spacious primary suite comes with dual seating areas divided by a two-way fireplace, a private balcony, a bespoke walk-in closet, and a luxe bath spotlighted by a steam room and an infrared sauna.

      Elsewhere is a lower level holding an en suite guest bedroom and a butler’s kitchen. A living room connects to a dedicated piano room, which has glass doors spilling out to picturesque grounds hosting a grassy lawn and a freeform pool with a spillover spa. Out front, an attached four-car garage and a cobblestone motor court are accessible via a gated driveway.

      The 74-year-old Michigan-born musician, who married Tomeeka Robyn Bracy in 2017, maintains a substantial real estate portfolio. There’s a handful of homes and commercial properties across L.A., including a house in the Hollywood Hills, as well as a big house in Alpine, N.J., and his childhood home in Detroit.

      Christina Ricci’s Scenic L.A. Home Is Back on the Market for $4.2 Million

      by

      It’s been barely a year since Christina Ricci doled out $4 million for a modern home in Los Angeles, and now the veteran film and TV actress is already looking to offload her stylish spread high above the hills of Silver Lake with a nearly $200,000 jump in price, asking just under $4.2 million. But the brand-new Hollywood Walk of Fame star holder has a good reason. A family member who was displaced during the recent L.A. wildfires has moved in with the Yellowjackets star and her hairstylist husband Mark Hampton and she needs a bigger place to better accommodate all of them, according to listing agent Lorraine Getz of Compass.

      Completed in 2018 and resting amid a nearly quarter-acre cul-de-sac parcel overlooking the Silver Lake Reservoir, the three-bedroom, four-bath abode has roughly 3,400 square feet of open-concept, two-level living space accented with a mix of hardwood and ceramic tile floors throughout, plus a smart-home automation system. A spacious rooftop deck and vast expanses of glass offer jetliner views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the reservoir and mountains beyond.

      The fireside living room opens to a terrace offering sweeping city skyline views.

      David Fitzgerald

      A catwalk leads into the main level, which is highlighted by an open-concept great room sporting a living area that has a sleek linear fireplace topped by a TV and access to a terrace. A formal dining room flanked by a stone accent wall flows to an eat-in kitchen, which has a center island with an attached table and top-tier Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. A floating staircase winds its way upstairs, where three en suite bedrooms include a serene primary suite outfitted with a fireside seating area, a private balcony, a bespoke walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath boasting a soaking tub.

      Outdoors, the turf-clad backyard is laced with a variety of citrus trees and hosts a pool and spillover spa notched into a wood sundeck. There’s also a two-car garage, along with a nearby “hidden” staircase that connects you to Lamill Coffee, L&E Oyster Bar, Bar Siesta, and other local hot spots.
