Hot Properties columnist Lauren Beale talks with Chad Rogers, an agent with Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills, about real estate deals in Venice, Malibu, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
Actress Sharon Stone has sold a compound in the Beverly Crest area for $6.575 million.
The buyer is producer Lili Zanuck, widow of film producer Richard Zanuck.
Surrounded by walls and gated, the Mediterranean-style estate sits on 5 acres with pathways, bridges, waterfalls, fruit trees, a meditation garden, a swimming pool and a tennis court with viewing pavilion.
The main house, built in 1991, includes a paneled library, a wet bar in the living room and a master suite with dual bathrooms, dual dressing rooms and a terrace. The guest house contains a media room, a gym and two bedrooms, for a total of seven bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and four fireplaces. There is covered parking for about 14 cars.
Stone, 54, starred in the 1990s films "Total Recall," "Basic Instinct" and "Casino," for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. Her more recent work includes this year's thriller "Border Run," "The Burma Conspiracy" (2011) and appearances on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (2010). She will star in the upcoming films "Gods Behaving Badly" and "What About Love."
The actress bought the property in 2006 for $10.995 million and put it back on the market later that year at $12.5 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service. She has since leased out the estate. It was most recently priced at $7.5 million.
Zanuck, 58, shared a best picture Oscar with her late husband for "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989). Her other credits include "Cocoon" (1985) and "Reign of Fire" (2002).
Joe Babajian of Rodeo Realty, Beverly Hills, was the listing agent. Marisa Zanuck of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer. She is Lili Zanuck's daughter-in-law.
A-lister's place is a blockbuster
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has put a Malibu investment property up for sale at $23 million.
The oceanfront Cape Cod-inspired compound was leased out for three months this summer at $150,000 a month.
All three homes, which sit on a lot that is less than a half-acre in size, have recently been remodeled. There are a total of seven bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms in an undisclosed number of square feet. Outdoor features include a beachfront deck, a fire pit, gardens and lawn.
DiCaprio, 38, starred in "Titanic" (1997), "The Departed" (2006) and "J. Edgar" (2011). He will be Jay Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby," due out next year, and stars in "Django Unchained," to be released Christmas Day.
Public records show the property changed hands in 2002 for $6 million.
Kathryn Bentzen of Arete Estates is the listing agent.
Actor cast in Venice scene
Actor Matthew Modine and his wife, Cari, have bought a home on a walk street in Venice for $2.45 million.
Built in 2003 and designed for entertaining, the contemporary house features an open floor plan, heated polished concrete floors and sliding glass doors that open to a courtyard garden with a fireplace. Including the master suite, which takes up the entire second floor, there are two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and about 2,000 square feet of living space. A bridge from the main house leads to the second bedroom above the three-car garage.
The property came on the market in late September at $2.395 million.
Modine, 53, was a regular on "Weeds" in 2007. He is in this year's Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" and will be in the 2013 biopic "Jobs."
