    Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger’s Former L.A. Home Hits the Market for $15 Million

    by

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Neve Campbell and JJ Feild List Their Charming Colonial Home in L.A. for $4.3 Million

      by

      It’s been almost five years since Neve Campbell and JJ Feild picked up a Los Angeles home in the leafy San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. Now the Scream star and her longtime acting partner have decided to hand over the keys to their traditional Colonial-style digs, asking a speck under $4.3 million. Richard Yohon of Sotheby’s International Realty and Konstantine Valissarakos of Nourmand & Associates share the listing. 

      The couple—she famous for her turns as Sidney Prescott in the horror film franchise Scream and Julia Salinger on the TV series Party of Five, and he known for movies such as Captain America: The First Avenger and Austenland—acquired the property in 2020 for $2.8 million. Originally built in the mid-1920s, the traditional clapboard-sided residence was extensively remodeled by a previous owner in 2017 and has since undergone some recent updates by Campbell and Feild.

      A formal living room off the foyer has a marble fireplace and French doors opening to the front porch.

      Comprising a sloping hillside parcel spanning over a third of an acre, the walled and gated compound features a street-level garage with room for three vehicles out front, with a newly added elevator leading to the two-story main home up above. A walkway passes through the manicured lawn before emptying out at a columned brick porch outfitted with an idyllic swing chair and a bright blue front door that opens into 4,500 square feet of living space boasting five bedrooms and six baths.

      Wide-plank hardwood floors throughout the main level flow to formal living and dining rooms, both sporting French doors spilling outside. A fireside family room and a breakfast nook connect to an all-white gourmet kitchen outfitted with a swath of high-end stainless appliances, while a traditional staircase off the foyer heads to an upper-level primary suite containing a fireplace, a private balcony, a pair of walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower.

      The resort-like backyard is ideal for entertaining with a large pool, cedar sauna, and changing rooms.

      Outdoors, the secluded yard is dotted with redwood and fruit trees and hosts a huge pool with a spa and Baja shelf, as well as a pool house with a handy shower and toilet, a barbecue and bar setup, a cedar-clad sauna, a children’s playhouse, an in-ground trampoline, a pergola-shaded dining area, and a vegetable garden. There’s also a detached guesthouse with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bath.

      YouTuber Alpharad’s Sleek L.A. Home Lists for $5 Million

      by

      It’s been almost three years since Jacob Rabon picked up a Los Angeles residence in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks. Now the successful YouTube and Twitch streamer—known to his roughly 4 million subscribers as Alpharad—is looking to hand over the keys to the modern digs for a smidge under $5 million. Brandon Piller and Joey Ben-Zvi of The Agency share the listing.

      Purchased by the 29-year-old Oklahoma native for $4.8 million in summer 2022, shortly after it was newly built, the stucco and glass structure rests on almost a quarter of an acre of land fronted by an attached two-car garage with EV chargers.

      The living room is spotlighted by a wood-encased linear fireplace topped by a big-screen TV.

      A steep flight of stairs leads up from the driveway to the tall wooden front door, which opens into 5,300 square feet of tri-level living space featuring a total of six bedrooms and eight baths. An elevator and a curving wood and iron-railed staircase service all floors, while a swath of automated smart-home systems control sound, lighting, security, and more.

      Main-level highlights include an open-concept great room that opens directly to the fully walled backyard via sliding glass doors. Holding court here is a fireside living room, as well as a dining area topped by an industrial-style chandelier mimicking a collection of lightsabers and a dark-hued kitchen boasting custom cabinetry, an oversized island with an integrated breakfast table, and top-tier appliances.

      The kitchen is stocked with state-of-the-art appliances.

      The lower level has a cozy family room, a movie theater, and ample space for an office or a studio, while the upper floor holds a posh primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a rainfall shower.

      Five additional bedrooms, including one on the lower level and the rest up top, all have their own bath. And outdoors, you’ll find small but nicely landscaped grounds hosting a pool and spa, a built-in barbecue, and a grass-trimmed concrete patio warmed by a large veined-marble fireplace.

      As it turns out, records reveal Alpharad’s YouTuber friend Jaiden Animations recently sold a fully updated property in L.A.’s Eagle Rock neighborhood for $2.6 million.

      ‘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.
