      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.

      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.

      Kate Mara and Jamie Bell’s Genteel Southern Colonial Home in L.A. Is Up for Grabs at $5 Million

      by

      It’s been barely three years since Kate Mara and Jamie Bell doled out $4.8 million for a Los Angeles home in the leafy foothills of Los Feliz, and the Hollywood couple has already decided to hand over the keys to their stately Southern Colonial-style digs, asking a speck under $5 million. Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

      The married actors—who have both appeared in a string of hit TV shows and films such as Fantastic Four, Billy Elliot, House of Cards, and American Horror Story: Murder House, just to name a few—acquired the property in 2022 in a clandestine off-market deal. The sellers were legendary New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House fame and his longtime wife Sharon, who had only picked up the place two years earlier, in 2020, for $4.3 million. Before that, it was owned at different times by actress Katherine Heigl and Emmy-winning Simpsons writer Tim Long.

      Originally built in the early 1920s, the elegant white shingle-sided structure has undergone numerous updates through the years, including some recent cosmetic tweaks by Mara and Bell. Featured are four bedrooms and an equal number of baths spread across almost 3,700 square feet of two-level living space, which boasts lots of original architectural details, high ceilings, rustic hardwood floors, large windows, and French doors throughout.

      Especially standing out on the main level is a light-filled living room sporting a wood-burning fireplace, as well as a family room displaying a TV cabinet embedded in a wall of bookshelves and access to a wraparound deck. Other highlights include a dining room and butler’s pantry that connect to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, Thermador appliances, and an adjoining breakfast nook.

There’s also a covered second-floor balcony overlooking the hedge-lined backyard, which hosts a pool and spa, along with a fireside seating area.

      A detached guesthouse with dark green interiors, a vaulted wood-beam ceiling, and a full bath can also be found on the premises, which are fully walled and gated and sequestered away on nearly a quarter of an acre of land.

      L.A. Reid Relists His Swanky Bel Air Mansion for a Discounted $17.5 Million

      by

      Antonio “L.A.” Reid first hoisted his ultra-contemporary Bel Air mansion on the market back in 2019 for nearly $23 million. Six years and several price chops later, the Grammy-winning record producer behind top-tier talents like Usher, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber still hasn’t enticed any takers and has decided to try his hand at offloading the place once again, this time with a slimmed-down $17.5 million ask. Selling Sunset stars Jason and Brett Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group hold the listing.

      Records show the music industry veteran acquired the hillside residence in 2016 for $18 million shortly after it was built and then embarked upon a bespoke tailoring of the premises to suit his personal tastes. Completed in 2015, the gated estate rests on just over an acre of land atop a promontory above Stone Canyon Reservoir and comes complete with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass providing sweeping city lights views.

      The great room has a double-sided fireplace and automated retractable glass walls spilling out to the backyard.

      Standing three stories tall, the stucco and stone-accented structure boasts a total of seven bedrooms and 10 baths spread across roughly 11,100 square feet of open-concept living space. Glitzy amenities include an elevator, numerous fireplaces, a gym, a private studio, a glassy 300-bottle wine cellar, and a crimson-hued movie theater with an accompanying wet bar.

      A gated driveway lined with towering Ficus trees fronts the home, which has an eye-catching door that opens into a double-height foyer topped with a striking wind chime-like chandelier. Grand-scale rooms throughout are punctuated by a mix of stone and white oak floors, soaring ceilings, black granite walls, and chrome accents.

      Particularly standing out on the main level is a spacious great room divided by a massive two-way fireplace. There’s also a fireside office/library with built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, along with a formal dining room and sleekly designed kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, dual islands, and top-tier appliances.

      Amenities include a crimson movie theater with an accompanying bar.

      A sculptural staircase heads upstairs to the primary suite, which is decked out with yet another fireplace, a balcony, and a spa-inspired bath equipped with a soaking tub, a glass-encased shower, and a sauna. Four additional en suite bedrooms can also be found on the top floor, while two more bedrooms hold court on the lower level.

      As for the grounds, they host an infinity pool flanked by a sundeck and a grassy lawn that flows to a separate raised spa and a fire pit, as well as an entertainment area sporting a kitchen and bar. Rounding it all out: a subterranean garage that can accommodate up to four vehicles.

      Heather and Terry Dubrow’s Beverly Hills Estate Lists for $25 Million

      by

      It’s been barely two years since Heather and Terry Dubrow doled out $16.1 million for a sprawling estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills, replete with jaw-dropping vistas stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean. Now, after some slight tweaks, the married reality TV stars are already looking to hand over the keys to the stately 90210 compound, asking a substantially increased $25 million. The listing is held by Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman California and Josh Flagg of Compass.

      The Dubrows—she a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, and he a plastic surgeon known for his work on Botched—picked up the home in July 2023 from the estate of the late filmmaker Martha De Laurentiis. She and her legendary producer husband Dino De Laurentiis, who passed away back in 2010, paid around $2.8 million for the spread almost four decades ago and then undertook an extensive customization of the premises. Before that, the home was also owned by millionaire restaurateur Steve Crane, the former husband of Lana Turner, who sold the place to Where Love Has Gone author Harold Robbins in 1978 for a mere $850,000.

      Built in the 1940s, the two-story traditional structure is hidden away behind a lengthy gated driveway and a spacious motor court amid eight-plus bluff-top acres overlooking Benedict Canyon in the Beverly Hills Post Office area. Inside, five bedrooms and nine baths are spread across almost 9,000 square feet of two-level living space introduced via a double-height foyer displaying a sweeping dual staircase.

      Other highlights include a sun-drenched living room boasting French doors spilling out to the backyard, plus a cozy fireside den, a formal dining room with a fireplace, and a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with stone countertops, an eat-in peninsula, and top-tier stainless appliances. Elsewhere is an upstairs primary suite that comes with a seating area, a private balcony, and dual walk-in closets and baths, along with a library and a media room.

      Outdoors, the grounds host a swimming pool surrounded by an expansive brick deck holding a hot tub, a kitchen setup, and several spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a full-size tennis court and an attached three-car garage.

      In addition to their Beverly Hills mansion, the couple also lays claim to a swank Roberto Cavalli-designed penthouse in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles that they paid Russian billionaire Sergey Grishin $14 million for in 2022. And though they sold their elaborate Newport Coast mansion known as the Dubrow Chateau three years ago to medical device tycoon Xu Hang for a record-breaking $55 million, they still maintain a residence in Orange County.

      Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Former L.A. Condo Hits the Market for $7 Million

      by

      You might not have been fortunate enough to snag their picturesque 12-acre estate in New York that was recently up for grabs, complete with 130 feet of waterfront footage on the Hudson River. But now’s your chance to pick up Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s former Los Angeles condo at the iconic I.M. Pei-designed Century Towers residential complex on the Avenue of the Stars; that is, of course, if you have a few million dollars burning a hole in your proverbial pocket.

      After more than a decade of ownership, current owner Judy Glickman Lauder is looking to hand over the keys to the celeb-pedigreed pad for a smidge under $7 million. Records show the Hollywood power couple bought a pair of adjacent condos in separate transactions in the late 1990s and subsequently combined the corner units before selling the whole kit and caboodle to the photographer and her late husband Leonard Lauder, the billionaire son of beauty mogul Estée Lauder, in 2003 for $1.85 million.

      Resting on the 23rd floor in one of two identical 28-story high-rises—which have been home through the years to showbiz movers and shakers such as Lana Turner, Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Burt Lancaster, and Karen Carpenter—the three-bedroom, three-bath abode features roughly 2,600 square feet of Lauder-furnished living space boasting dark cabinetry paired with multi-colored slate walls and floors, plus large expanses of glass offering sweeping views of the city skyline and Hillcrest Country Club golf course.

      Among the highlights is a spacious peach-hued living area sporting floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors spilling open to an alfresco dining terrace. There’s also a wet bar-equipped dining room, a laundry nook, and a kitchen outfitted with a breakfast bar and premium stainless appliances. Other amenities include a family room with a built-in entertainment center, along with a spacious primary retreat flaunting a slate-tiled bath spotlighted by a freestanding clawfoot soaking tub.

      Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities courtesy of a $4,262 monthly HOA charge, including a 24-hour guard-gated entry, a concierge, valet parking, a fitness center and sauna, a full-length lap pool, a putting green, and tennis courts.

      “A living piece of Hollywood history, this home still reflects the timeless taste and style of its original celebrity owners…down to the last detail,” says Alphonso Lascano, who holds the listing with Bjorn Farrugia, both of Carolwood Estates.

      Liam Neeson Puts a $10.8 Million Price on His Park-View Manhattan Pied-à-Terre

      by

      Liam Neeson first hoisted his New York City apartment on the market early last year with a nearly $12.8 million price tag, but it still hasn’t been taken. Now the Ireland-born movie star’s longtime Manhattan digs have popped up for sale again, this time with a substantially reduced $10.8 million ask and new broker Matthew Coleman of Coleman Real Estate Group holding the listing.

      Records show Neeson and his late wife, English actress Natasha Richardson, acquired the combined three-unit property at the luxury Park Millennium building in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Lincoln Square from the developer in 1999 for around $3.9 million. Sprawled across the 28th floor of the 56-story residential tower, the corner spread has five bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 4,500 square feet boasting glossy, caramel-hued hardwood floors, high ceilings, and custom built-ins throughout.

      An entry foyer and gallery lead to a voluminous great room bordered by a ribbon of picture windows offering up picturesque city skyline and Central Park views, while a combined living and dining area connects to an eat-in kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry and top-tier stainless appliances. Secluded in a separate wing is the spacious primary suite, which comes with a walk-in closet and dual baths, as well as a library/office and gym.

      There are also ample building amenities courtesy of a $5,315 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, along with a fitness center sporting a pool and basketball court.

      The Longtime L.A. Home of ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Producer Lynda Obst Lists for $2.6 Million

      by

      Sleepless in Seattle? More like sweet dreams in L.A.

      The longtime home of the late producer Lynda Obst—who worked on the Nora Ephron classic, along with films such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Interstellar, and Contact—has hit the market for $2.6 million. Obst purchased the Silver Lake property back in 2002 for $822,000, according to property records, and she owned the place until her death in October. Heather T. Roy and Learka Bosnak, known professionally as Heather & Learka, hold the listing at Douglas Elliman.

      The living room has one of three fireplaces found in the circa 1940 home.

      Anthony Barcelo

      Dating back to 1940, the home was built by the architect Harry Hayden Whiteley for Edwin S. Rice, the co-founder of the Krispy Kake Cone Company. Art Deco influences like the curvature inside have been retained, while otherwise the house has been updated with modern, colorful touches and appliances. Standouts include a bright-pink door, red railing along the winding stone staircase, and a floral inset window in the living room.

      Altogether, the Moreno Highlands property encompasses four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Upstairs bedrooms have access to one of the multiple sun decks, while another bedroom skews from the overall design palette—it’s completely paneled in tongue and groove pine paneling, imbuing the space with a woodsy, cabin-like feel. Elsewhere, you’ll find a cozy study and three fireplaces.

      One of the bedrooms bucks the overall design trends for a cabin-like vibe.

      Anthony Barcelo

      Outside, the yard has been landscaped to a T, and there’s even a small greenhouse for those who want to flex their green thumb. Depending on the weather, you can take a dip in either the hot tub or the cold plunge. Or you can simply enjoy the outdoor seating and take in the views of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance—when they were covered with snow in the winter, Obst would call them “the Silve Lake Alps.”

      Obst was originally born in the suburbs of New York City, but she eventually moved to Los Angeles with her then-husband and began working in the film industry. Throughout her career, she was known as a champion of women, with many of her films focusing on female-led stories. Along with her Silver Lake home, she owned a ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas, that was her “happy place,” according to The New York Times. She died in October at the age of 74 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

      The CEO of BlockGen Is Selling His 28th-Floor Miami Beach Condo for $26 Million

      by

      A fintech mogul is logging out of his South Florida home.

      Bill Roy, the founder and CEO of BlockGen, is parting ways with his ocean-view Miami Beach condominium. Known for his expertise in financial technology, Roy’s career has taken him from roles as a lead mortgage banking analyst at Merrill Lynch to a portfolio manager at Arco Investments. He later launched the private equity firm JAM Partners before founding BlockGen, a company dedicated to transforming mortgage technology with its LoanPASS system.

      Now, Roy is selling his lavish, gut-renovated residence at the Continuum, at the southern tip of South Beach, for $25.9 million with Eddy Martinez and Roland Ortiz with The Worldwide Group at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, along with Natalia Gryczynska of Hilton & Hilton.

      According to The Real Deal, Roy dropped $12.1 million on the two-unit combination condo back in 2021—about half of what he’s currently seeking. Spanning 4,776 square feet, the 28th-floor spread offers three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with panoramic views to the east and southwest, showcasing both sunrises over the turquoise waters and dramatic sunsets over the city skyline. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the home is offered fully turnkey, with a selection of high-end furnishings by B&B Italia and Minotti, curated by Gallerie Noire.

      The open, sun-flooded layout includes a formal salon with an oceanfront bar, multiple lounges, and a formal dining area. European wide-plank wood floors, custom LED-lit millwork, and architectural lighting add to the contemporary sophistication. The chef’s kitchen, equipped with Wolf appliances, includes Viola marble counters, brass accents, and a large island with an integrated snack bar. A wall of windows connects to a rotunda balcony that’s perfect for entertaining.

      The principal suite provides both seclusion and plush comfort. In addition to a sunrise terrace, a separate lounge, a private office, and a dressing room, the spa bath is adorned in book-matched marble with a steam shower and heated floors. Elsewhere, the sky-high pad is decked out with a media room, family room, and office, as well as two private entrance lobbies, plus a staff entrance and dual laundry areas.

      Located within Continuum’s 13-acre oceanfront enclave, the residence’s $5,714 per month association fee—not to mention an annual tax bill of about a quarter million dollars—provides residents and guests access to a slate of world-class amenities, including a beach club, private restaurant, tennis courts, expansive fitness center, and swanky on-site med-spa.
