      ‘Saved by the Bell’ Alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s Former L.A. Home Lists for $5.5 Million

      by

      Shortly before the TV show Franklin & Bash, on which he played lawyer Peter Bash, was canceled after four seasons in late 2014, Mark-Paul Gosselaar plunked down $2.3 million for a Los Angeles home in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks.

      The veteran actor—probably still best known after all these years for his 1990s role as teen heartthrob Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell—wound up selling the place in early 2022 in an off-market deal for $5.3 million, turning a tidy $3 million profit in the process. Now the French Country-style digs are available again, this time with a $5.5 million price tag. Heather Altman and Casey Gamm of The Altman Brothers Team at Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

      One of just seven properties tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac offering picturesque views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the two-story stucco and stone structure is fronted by an attached three-car garage. Inside, five bedrooms and five baths are spread across nearly 5,800 square feet of remodeled living space boasting wide-plank European white oak floors, arched doorways, and wrought-iron details, plus an automated smart-home system.

      Double doors open into the split-level entry foyer, which steps up to a coffered-ceiling living room with decorative wallpaper, a fireplace, and French doors spilling out to the backyard. There’s also a formal dining area and an all-white kitchen sporting top-notch Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, a blue-hued eat-in island for a pop of color, and a window-lined breakfast nook with banquette seating.

      The mountain-view backyard hosts a pool and spa flanked by an alfresco dining terrace.

      Other main-level highlights include a fireside primary suite that has a separate office and a marble-clad bath, as well as a movie theater and a guest bedroom with its own bath. The lower level has three additional en-suite bedrooms, a flexible bonus room, and a mirrored gym, while the manicured grounds span almost half an acre and host a solar-heated pool and spa flanking a pergola-shaded terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a full kitchen.

      After his career-spurring turn on Saved by the Bell, the 51-year-old California native went on to appear in several TV shows and films, including NYPD Blue, Franklin & Bash, Pitch, Mixed-ish, Dead Man on Campus, Beer Money, and Sticks and Stones. He reprised his role as Zack Morris in a Saved by the Bell reboot in 2020, and he’s currently starring in the NBC crime drama series Found. An avid thrill-seeker, he’s also a sports car enthusiast, race car driver, track cyclist, dirt biker, Jui Jitsu practitioner, and licensed pilot.

      Have Mercy! John Stamos’s Former SoCal Estate Just Hit the Market for $13 Million

      by

      Back in the early 1990s, soon after he gained widespread acclaim for his role as Uncle Jesse on the sitcom Full House, John Stamos doled out $430,000 for a vacant six-acre plot of land in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas and enlisted architect Les Makowski to design a custom home for him. Now the Mediterranean-style digs high above Malibu Canyon have popped up for sale, asking a speck under $13 million. Alessandro Corona of Compass holds the listing.

      Famously owned by the actor and musician for almost a decade until 2001, when the place traded hands for around $2.2 million, records show the property was last sold to politician Justin Aguilera and his beauty entrepreneur wife Candace in 2020 for nearly $3 million. Since extensively remodeled by the couple, the white stucco and red terracotta-roof structure offers six bedrooms and an equal number of baths filtered across a little more than 8,100 square feet of glitzy living space on two levels laced throughout with black-and-white veined marble and gold accents.

      A two-way fireplace and massive chandelier add a touch of flair to the glass-walled living room.

      A grand set of steps leads up to the portico entrance, which opens into a column-studded foyer displaying dual staircases and a mezzanine balcony overlooking an elegant living room sporting a gigantic crystal chandelier and striking two-way fireplace set next to a soaring wall of glass. Other highlights include a media room, plus a wood-paneled entertainment area decked out with a full seated bar. A former recording studio has been transformed into an office.

      A formal dining room that can seat at least 10 connects to the spacious kitchen, which comes with custom glass-knobbed cabinetry, a center island, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook lined with windows. Secluded upstairs is the voluminous primary suite, which rests beneath a vaulted wood-beam ceiling and features a private balcony with mountain views, a mini bar, a fireside lounge, a huge glam room, and a luxe bath equipped with an indulgent spa tub.

      Outdoors, the manicured grounds host a grotto-style pool with a waterfall and a spa, as well as several travertine-clad terraces ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining with amenities like a fireplace and barbecue station. Adding extra panache is a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite with its own entrance, along with a lengthy gated driveway that spills out at an attached three-car garage and an expansive motor court that can accommodate up to 30 vehicles. Did we mention there’s also enough room to land a helicopter?

      The 61-year-old California native began his acting career as heartthrob Blackie Parrish on the daytime soap opera General Hospital in the ’80s and went on to land the iconic role of Jesse Katsopolis on the popular sitcom Full House. He later reprised the role in the Netflix spinoff Fuller House, for which he served as an executive producer. An accomplished musician, he’s also appeared on Broadway and occasionally performs with the Beach Boys.

      Raquel Welch’s Longtime L.A. Home Just Sold for $3.1 Million

      by

      A little more than two years after she passed away in early 2023 at age 82, a Los Angeles home long owned by Raquel Welch—the legendary actress and enduring sex symbol probably best remembered for her 1960s roles as a shrunken scientist in Fantastic Voyage and bikini-clad cavewoman in One Billion Years B.C.—has officially traded hands for $3.1 million.

      First offered a year ago for around $4 million and subsequently reduced to $3.7 million, the Mediterranean-style villa in the exclusive Beverly Glen Circle neighborhood of Bel Air sold to British film producer, writer, and director Justin Hyne for just $600,000 more than the $2.5 million Welch doled out for the place in 2009. Ernie Carswell and Lloyd Ross of Douglas Elliman and Brett Lawyer of Carolwood Estates shared the listing, with Ariel Belkin of The One Luxury Properties repping the buyer.

      Built in the late ’90s, the blush-hued stucco and terracotta-roof structure rests high atop a hedged and gated parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre. Inside, roughly 5,100 square feet of multi-level, cream-hued living space includes a column-lined entrance gallery that flows to a glass-walled living room sporting a stone fireplace and French doors spilling out to a pergola-shaded terrace and sundeck-encased pool and spa beyond.

      Other highlights include a formal dining area and an office with a kitchenette. A family room connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with wood cabinetry, an eat-in island, and a cozy breakfast banquette. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms include a spacious primary retreat boasting a fireside seating area, two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath with dual vanities and a built-in spa tub. Rounding it all out: a top-floor bonus space, plus an oversized garage hosting a bath-equipped room with its own entrance that could easily serve as a gym or guest site.

      The hedge-lined backyard hosts a freeform pool and spillover spa surrounded by a sundeck.

      Long before Bo Derek ran down the beach in her Fulani braids and Farrah Fawcett posed in that iconic red swimsuit, there was Welch in her infamous doeskin bikini as seen in One Billion Years B.C. Though she was named by Playboy as one of its “100 sexiest female stars of the 20th century,” coming in third behind Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, the Golden Globe-winning actress (The Three Musketeers) refused to strip down for movies or magazine shoots.

      “I am my father’s daughter and that’s just not the way you behave,” she told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories show in 2015. “You don’t do that if you are a certain kind of a woman and that’s the kind of woman I was raised to be.”

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
