      Pia Zadora’s Former Malibu Beach House Lists for $22 Million

      by

      Robert Redford did. So have Valerie Bertinelli, Pierce Brosnan, and Dustin Hoffman. And now you, too, can live on Malibu‘s “celebrity row.”

      This Cape Cod-style house along Broad Beach, once owned by the ’80s actress and singer Pia Zadora, has been in the hands of the seller for 23 years, but they are now spending more time on the East Coast and have decided to part ways with the beachfront beauty. The gated compound includes a four-bedroom, four-bath main house, plus a one-bedroom guest house that’s perched atop the three-car garage with its own living room and kitchen. Rochelle Maize at Nourmand & Associates holds the $22 million listing. 

      The updated chef’s kitchen includes premium appliances and pops of nautical blue.

      Anthony Barcelo

      While it occupies a prime piece of West Coast real estate, the home evokes East Coast living, with design cues taken from the architectural vernacular of the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard. Beyond the shingled exterior, there are dark-stained wide-plank oak floorboards, beadboard accents, and nautical blue tones throughout, including the bar stools in the recently updated chef’s kitchen. A casual lounge adjoins the kitchen and spills out through French doors to a courtyard garden between the main house and the garage/guesthouse.

      Further in is the dining room, and a few steps down is the spacious living room, where a wall of glass peels open to a covered porch and a large brick terrace with a built-in grill and an alfresco dining setup. Steps away are a built-in spa and a sunken fire pit, giving you two options for staying warm when the coastal fog sets in. From there, a lawn stretches out to a classic white picket fence and a private patch of sand atop a rock revetment that was put in place to slow beach erosion.

      The spacious primary bedroom opens up to an ocean-facing terrace.

      Anthony Barcelo

      Back inside, the ocean-facing primary suite spills onto a terrace spanning the full width of the house, the perfect place for cozying up with a good book or having a cocktail while the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean.

      Broad Beach has long been popular with entertainment industry heavy hitters. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell owned the house right next door (it was later owned by the Imagine Dragons’ frontman Dan Reynolds, who sold it a couple of years ago for $16.7 million), and other Broad Beach residents and homeowners have included Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Frank Sinatra, Pierce Brosnan, and Ray Romano.

      Brad Pitt Just Dropped $12 Million on Rock Star Dave Keuning’s Hollywood Hills Home

      by

      Dave Keuning has officially offloaded his Los Angeles residence in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills to Oscar-winning actor, producer, and architecture enthusiast Brad Pitt for $12 million, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

      That’s a lot less than Keuning originally wanted, but it’s still $2.4 million more than the $9.6 million the seven-time Grammy-nominated co-founder and lead guitarist of The Killers paid Grindr app founder Joel Simkhai for the modern Spanish villa high above the Sunset Strip four years ago. 

      The veteran rock star and his interior designer wife, Emilie Keuning, subsequently gave the place a full makeover, and, after hitting the market in June with a nearly $14 million ask, the house quickly sold to Pitt at a substantial discount. David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates held the listing, with Pitt repped by Carolwood’s Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi.

      The two-story Spanish villa has six bedroom and eight baths in 8,385 square feet.

      Behind gates on a lofty perch spanning just over a third of an acre, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure offers picturesque views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Santa Monica Bay. Originally built in the late 1980s, it features six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 8,300 square feet.

      Upon entry, a soaring wood-beam foyer flows to a living area sporting a stone fireplace and steel-framed French doors spilling out to the backyard. From there, another living area is topped with an embossed tin ceiling and a fanciful light fixture, while an office is lined with built-in bookcases. A dining room and a fireside sitting area connect to the sleek eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with ebony-hued cabinetry and Wolf and Miele appliances. 

      The creature comforts continue upstairs, where a sumptuous primary suite flaunts a Murano glass chandelier, a fireplace, a wraparound balcony, and a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower. There’s a vaulted movie theater fit for a movie star, while the garden-laced grounds host a freeform pool and spillover spa bordered by a barbecue station and a fire pit lounge, dual garages, and a detached hillside studio with a recording space.

      This isn’t Pitt’s first real estate foray into the Hollywood Hills. In early 2023, he sold a $33 million compound in Los Feliz to Aileen Getty and then turned around and paid the oil heiress $5.5 million for her midcentury modern pavilion, also in Los Feliz and known as the Steel House.

      More recently, the F1 The Movie and Ocean’s Eleven star doled out $40 million for the landmark D.L. James house in California’s Carmel Highlands, which has reportedly become his main residence. His extensive property portfolio also includes a 50 percent stake in Château Miraval, a 1,200-acre estate and winery in France that he once shared with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.

      ‘Emily in Paris’ Star Lily Collins Just Sold Her Pasadena Case Study House for $6 Million

      by

      Actress Lily Collins’s home on the east side of Los Angeles has sold to an unidentified buyer in an all-cash, off-market deal for a speck under $6.2 million. That’s not only above the $6 million ask, but it’s also $2.3 million more than the Emily in Paris star and daughter of musician Phil Collins paid fellow actress Kristen Wiig for the historic midcentury gem in early 2021.

      Since then, Collins has thoughtfully renovated the premises in collaboration with Los Angeles-based designer Emily Farnham, with the finished project featured in the pages of Vogue last year. Originally designed in the 1940s by father-and-son architects Kemper Nomland and Kemper Nomland Jr. as part of the influential Case Study program sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, the pad is known as Case Study House #10 and is included on the National Register of Historic Places.

      A plaque in the yard shows the property’s official designation as Case Study House #10.

      Set on a gated and hedged corner hillside parcel spanning a third of an acre, amid a picturesque street in a sought-after neighborhood pocket of Pasadena where nearby neighbors include Meryl Streep, Grimes, and Oscar De La Hoya, the redwood-sided structure offers three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,400 square feet. Three levels of “mid-century California meets Scandinavian” living space showcase restored concrete floors, warm earth-hued interiors, and a floating staircase. There’s also a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse on the property.

      Among the highlights is an open living and dining area, which is divided by a huge brick fireplace and has sliding glass doors spilling out to a terraced backyard sporting a pool and raised spa, multiple patios, and a garden inspired by the work of noted Dutch landscaper Piet Oudolf. Back inside, a family room connects to the eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with stone countertops and newer appliances, while the primary suite has an updated marble bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower.

      Sliding glass doors in the concrete-floored living area open out to the tree-laced backyard.

      Dallas Mavericks Star Anthony Davis Is Seeking $40 Million for His 3-Acre L.A. Estate

      by

      A little over four years ago, Anthony Davis doled out $31 million for a European-style mansion in the guard-gated Los Angeles community of Bel Air Crest. Now that he’s been traded to the Dallas Mavericks after a five-and-a-half-season run with the Lakers, the 10-time NBA All-Star has decided to let the place go for a dash under $40 million. Jordan Cohen of Re/Max One holds the listing.

      The estate is hidden down a gated driveway on a three-plus-acre lot. Built in 2010 and recently renovated, the three-story white stucco structure is fronted by a spacious motor court with parking for up to 30 vehicles, plus an attached four-car garage tucked off to the side.

      There’s a realistic but fake tree at the center of the double-height entry foyer.

      Jeff Elson

      Eight bedrooms and 12 baths are sprawled across a little more than 17,200 square feet boasting sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains. A grand, double-height entry foyer with a 35-foot glass dome and a curving iron-railed staircase flows to the living room, which features a veined-marble fireplace and no less than six steel-framed French doors opening to Juliet balconies.

      Other highlights include a formal dining room that seats at least 16, plus a family room that connects via a casual dining area to a sleekly designed gourmet kitchen outfitted with a bronze-and-white checkerboard floor, an expansive eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, a wine fridge, and a workstation. Pocketing glass doors spill out to an alfresco dining and entertaining terrace.

      The game room is decked out with a seated bar and a glass-encased wine display.

      Elsewhere is an upstairs primary suite that comes with a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a luxe bath sporting dual vanities, a two-person shower, and a spa tub next to another fireplace. Five additional en suite bedrooms can also be found on this floor, while the lower level hosts a movie theater, a game room with a seated bar, a wine display, a gym with a massage room, and a barber shop.

      As for the resort-like grounds, expect to find a massive pool and spa next to a cabana holding a kitchen and bar setup, along with a sunken fire pit, a lighted tennis/basketball court, a batting cage, a secluded cold plunge and sauna, and a custom-built children’s playhouse with its own HVAC. There’s also an elevator and both home automation and solar systems thrown in for good measure.

      A Hidden Hills Mansion With Ties to Kanye West Lists for $17 Million

      by

      Here’s a little Hidden Hills real estate trivia: Kanye West briefly owned a modest, outdated home in the guard-gated enclave favored by celebs—it’s right across from the sprawling estate he once shared with ex-wife Kim Kardashian—but he never actually lived there. He acquired the property in 2021 for $4.5 million and sold it two years later for $4.25 million, a quarter-million-dollar loss for the controversial rapper, not counting holding expenses and real estate fees.

      The old house was quickly torn down to make way for something far more ambitious. Enter Three Planes, a stunning modern equestrian estate by visionary designer Jae Omar and developer H2 Development, now hitting the market for just under $17 million with Veronika Khomyn at The Agency. 

      The house measures a commodious 11,000 square feet, while the luxury mini-ranch sprawls out over an acre. A bold facade wrapped in Shou Sugi Ban charred wood siding, Santa Barbara stone cladding, and hand-applied plaster greets you as you approach the home. A slate and metal roof caps it off with a rustic-luxe modern ranch vibe that fits right in with the affluent suburban community’s equestrian heritage.

      Step inside, and Omar’s signature organic modernism is everywhere: rich woods, textured stone, and soft earth-toned plaster combine with soaring ceilings and exposed wooden beams. The light-colored wood floors and neutral furnishings create a calm, grounded feeling.

      The home’s layout strikes a perfect balance between grand and intimate. There are five bedrooms and six full bathrooms plus a powder room. The primary suite is truly a retreat, featuring a steam shower, sauna, and sculptural soaking tub designed for serious relaxation. Plus, it sports a private terrace and floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The four other secondary bedrooms on the upper floor each have en suite baths, offering privacy and comfort for family or guests.

      Wellness and entertainment get their own dedicated wing, complete with a fully equipped gym, a private spa, a plush media room, and a convenient wet bar. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the temperature-controlled wine room.

      The kitchen is a showstopper—finished with top-tier materials and appliances. It connects seamlessly to a generous breakfast nook and walk-in pantry, while formal living and dining rooms flank the space. Outside, the narrative continues with a resort-style pool and spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, and a yoga deck. And, true to Hidden Hills’ equestrian roots, a detached horse stable stands ready to support an active lifestyle.

      Omar and H2 are no strangers to celebrity-favored projects. Omar’s previous works—like ONIN, ODIN, and Valley Meadow—have attracted interest from stars like DJ Zedd, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Meghan Trainor, and even Cardi B and Offset. Meanwhile, Kardashian still lives in the Hidden Hills home that she and West originally purchased as a couple in 2014 for $20 million and then had transformed into a minimalist’s dream by Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt. During their divorce, the reality star bought the house from the rapper for $23 million, and it has recently undergone an extensive renovation and expansion.

      Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt Just Dropped $110 Million on Aaron Spelling’s Former L.A. Mansion

      by

      Over the past several years, Eric Schmidt’s ever-growing real estate portfolio has been the talk of several towns—he’s spent hundreds of millions buying up prime properties in locales like Montecito, Miami Beach, San Francisco, and London. As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the former Google CEO has now added a trophy house in the affluent Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles to his vast collection, doling out $110 million for the Manor, a Holmby Hills megamansion built by the late primetime TV titan Aaron Spelling and his socialite wife, Candy.

      Including his new house, Schmidt owns well over $300 million worth of luxury real estate in the L.A. area alone. Not only does the current CEO of aerospace innovator Relativity Space lay claim to several other residences in Holmby Hills, including Gregory Peck’s onetime abode and a $65 million estate that served as the longtime home of the late hotelier Barron Hilton, but he also possesses a $65 million parcel of undeveloped land in the mountains high above Beverly Hills that was last owned by deceased tech billionaire Paul Allen.

      As for his latest acquisition, it was originally listed for $165 million in February 2022, with the price dropping to $137.5 million in April 2024 before ultimately going to Schmidt at a big discount. The listing was held by Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates, with Linda May of Carolwood repping Schmidt.

      The Holmby Hills mansion was custom built by Aaron and Candy Spelling in the 1990s and has also been owned by Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone.

      Paul Harris/Getty Images

      The 56,000-square-foot mansion was custom built and resided in for years by the Spellings. Completed in the early 1990s and recently updated to the tune of around $20 million by a previous owner, English Formula One racing heiress Petra Ecclestone, the chateau-style dwelling sprawls across nearly five manicured acres with numerous outdoor amenities. There’s a massive backyard lawn, a pool and spa, fountains, a tennis court, citrus trees, and rose gardens, as well as two separate motor courts and covered parking with room for dozens of vehicles.

      The perks continue inside the opulent limestone-clad structure, complete with a bowling alley, a movie theater, a nightclub, a wine cellar, an aquarium, and a beauty salon with massage and tanning rooms, plus 14 bedrooms and a jaw-dropping 27 bathrooms. Not bad for a place that’s touted in marketing materials as “undoubtedly one of the finest estates in the world.”

      Per WSJ, Schmidt and his wife, Wendy—both avid philanthropists who recently partnered with the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art to create the Environment and Art Prize fund in their name—bought the home primarily to host meetings and events for local nonprofit and cultural institutions.

      A ‘Futurama’ Star’s Bauhaus-Inspired L.A. Home Is Up for Grabs at $2 Million

      by

      Voice actor John DiMaggio has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home after 13 years of ownership. The entertainment industry veteran—best known for portraying the beloved yet foul-mouthed, human-hating robot Bender in the animated sci-fi comedy series Futurama—has stuck a nearly $2 million price tag on the Bauhaus-style digs, which are tucked away in the foothills of Studio City. Adara Salim of the Beverly Hills Estates holds the listing.

      Designed by modernist architect John Bleser in the late 1970s and purchased by DiMaggio and his actress wife Kate Miller back in spring 2012 for around $900,000, the dark gray stucco structure has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,700 square feet across three levels. As first reported by the New York Post, the open-concept interiors boast carefully preserved original detailing alongside recent modern updates.

      The three-story house includes a conservatory with double-height windows.

      Tucked away on a cul-de-sac parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the house is highlighted by a spacious fireside great room sporting a bar with a built-in beverage cooler and large sliding glass doors opening out to a terrace overlooking a custom river-inspired waterfall. The bottom floor also hosts a media nook, as well as a bonus space that’s currently set up as a studio/office but could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom.

      Up one level is a conservatory with double-height windows and a glass ceiling, plus a combined living and dining area that connects to a kitchen outfitted with LG and Viking appliances, a breakfast bar, a sink topped by a greenhouse window, and access to a deck warmed by a fire pit. All of the bedrooms can be found on the top floor, including a primary suite that comes with a large glass-front fireplace surrounded by black subway tile, a private balcony, and a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities and a frameless shower.

      DiMaggio’s recording studio holds a life-sized Bender statue given to him by the creators of Futurama.

      RELATED: Singer Leona Lewis Just Listed Her L.A. Home With Sweeping Views for $4 Million

      DiMaggio’s face may not be familiar to the general public, but you’ve almost certainly heard his voice at some point. As the actor behind numerous characters and “one of the finest exponents of the genre,” per Cultured Vultures, he’s starred in numerous animated series, films, and video games. In addition to Bender Bending Rodríguez, some of his most notable characters include Jake the Dog in Adventure Time, King Zøg in Disenchantment, and Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War franchise.

      The couple, who recently sold a Palm Springs home they’ve owned for 11 years, spend summers in the Hamptons and continue to maintain a home in Manhattan’s West Village. While they are trying to decide where they will permanently lay down roots, however, their L.A. home still holds a special place. “It’s the house we bought when we first got married,” DiMaggio told the Post. “So there’s a lot of nostalgia attached to it.”

      Erewhon’s Owners Just Sold Their Luxurious Bel Air Mansion for $28.5 Million

      by

      The couple behind L.A.’s cult-favorite (and famously expensive) Erewhon markets, Anthony and Josephine Antoci, have taken in $28.5 million on the sale of an ultra-modern mansion in Bel Air—more than $6 million above what they paid just over a year ago. It seems the couple spent little, if any, time there: they put the place up for rent almost as soon as they signed the deed, and it was last priced at $200,000 per month.

      Records reveal the new owner as entrepreneur Dara Mir, better known to pop culture enthusiasts as the soon-to-be-ex-husband of attorney, businesswoman, and reality TV star Lily Ghalichi. Mir appears to have scored a deal, ultimately getting the hillside spread for $4.5 million less than the final asking price, not to mention $8.5 million below the original ask of almost $37 million.

      In addition to the sculptural staircase, an elevator stops at each of the home’s three floors.

      Anthony Barcelo

      The Sarbonne Road residence, with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in about 15,000 square feet, is well known among high-end property watchers in Los Angeles. An entity tied to Nigerian businessman Kola Aluko acquired the one-acre hillside property in 2012 for $24.5 million. At some later point, Thomas Flohr, founder of the private jet company VistaJet, became the owner in some kind of off-market deal to settle a debt with Aluko, according to a report in the Real Deal.

      When Aluko ran afoul of the U.S. government over claims that he defrauded the Nigerian government out of more than a billion dollars, the Department of Justice attempted to seize the property, which had already been transferred to Flohr. According to reports, Flohr managed to stave off a seizure by paying $16 million for the property. The private aviation tycoon promptly re-listed the place at $63 million, a wildly optimistic number that plummeted to $39.9 million before the Antocis came along and, in May 2024, scooped up the pad for a massively discounted $22.5 million.

      A gated driveway climbs to a circular motor court, where a curved stairway leads to the main entrance. A wooden door set in a corner of glass framed by towering walls of rough-cut limestone blocks opens to a triple-height entrance hall. Interior spaces are defined by soaring 16-foot ceilings, travertine floors, a sculptural staircase, and disappearing walls of glass. An elevator means moving between the home’s three floors takes no more effort than the push of a couple of buttons.

      The six-bedroom home’s 10 bathrooms include two in the primary suite.

      A formal living room with a wet bar and linear fireplace and a city-view formal dining room are accompanied by a spacious great room that opens to the pool and incorporates a casual lounge, a dining space, and a sleek family kitchen. (There’s a secondary chef’s kitchen for making a mess.)

      Other highlights include a wood-paneled study, a screening room with another wet bar, and a fitness/wellness center with a gym. A spa sits alongside a slender infinity-edge lap pool, while a huge terrace with panoramic views over L.A. is shaded by nine mature olive trees.

      Kevin Booker, David Parnes, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates repped the sellers; Tyrone McKillen and Andrew Hurley of Plus Real Estate represented the buyers.
