In 2006, Kate Beckinsale purchased a Cape Cod style home in the upscale neighborhood of Brentwood in Los Angeles, California for $3.6 million. Contrary to the typical Hollywood approach to real estate with frequent relocations, the action film star has called Brentwood home for the past 15 years.  However, now that her daughter, 22-year-old Lily Mo Sheen, is reportedly content living in Manhattan, Beckinsale is prepared to bid farewell to her humble California abode. She has recently listed her former Brentwood property for a price of $3.995 million. Considering the competitive state of Los Angeles real estate market, a mere increase from $3.6 million to $3.995 million over the course of 15 years is a generous listing.

Built in 1965, the charming yet elegant Brentwood home spans 3,603 square feet and includes four bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The Cape Cod inspired aesthetic is encapsulated in decorative details of numerous fireplaces, French doors, and wainscoting. Stepping inside, the family room offers comfortable couch seating, a cozy fireplace, and five sets of French doors for fresh air and natural sunlight. The spacious kitchen is equipped with two islands, surrounding marble top counters, and plentiful cabinetry. Further into the home, the office area presents a second lofted level with an exceptional bookcase and ladder for access. Upstairs, the spacious master suite features a fireplace, exposed wooden beams, enormous walk in closet, and luxurious bathroom with his and her sinks, a deep bathtub, and skylit shower. The interior also offers a full bar set up leading outside to the exterior space. The serene, wooded backyard offers lush greenery and space for entertaining with outdoor seating and a stone fireplace. A unique perk of the endearing exterior is a charming footbridge that leads to a spa tub and outdoor shower on a hill above the home.

The lavish Hollywood Hills estate dates back to 1908 and reportedly completed construction in 1911. Since its completion, the newly listed estate has been owned exclusively by Hollywood dignitaries. The first owner was American singer and movie star Dustin Farnum of “Squaw Man,” one of Hollywood’s first feature films. The home’s second owner was journalist, columnist, and film producer Mark Hellinger who inspired "The Roaring Twenties" with James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Following was successful actress and producer Gail Patrick of “My Man Godfrey.”

In the 1980s, Mirren and Hackford purchased the esteemed property and have since renovated the home while maintaining its original aesthetics and charm. Now, the celebrity couple reportedly resides on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and are bidding farewell to their illustrious Hollywood Hills home after more than 30 years of residence. The hillside compound presents an asking price of $18.5 million and is also available for lease at $45,000 per month.

As the second largest available property in the Hollywood Hills, Mirren and Hackford’s former estate spans a whopping 6.5 acres of picturesque land with 10,200 square feet of living space. The property runs from La Brea Terrace into Runyon Canyon and consists of multiple structures: a five-bedroom main home, three-bedroom guesthouse, and apartment atop a five-car garage. At the end of a winding private driveway, the primary residence presents a white stucco exterior with a vibrant red front door and blue shutters. Entering the home, the step-up foyer highlights a dazzling chandelier and leads to the spacious living room lined with French doors. The interior layout also includes a spacious kitchen with floor to ceiling brick fireplace, lounge with bar, and wood-paneled library. Throughout the residence, decks and balconies overlook the lush grounds and bustling cityscape for an indoor-outdoor flow. Stepping outside, the exterior space offers a terrace perfect for entertaining and a swimming pool set amid the gorgeous Californian hills and palm trees.

The listing for this property is held by Joyce Rey and Stephen Apelian of Coldwell Banker Realty.

Awkwafina

Born as Nora Lum in Queens, New York, she has come a far way from the small railroad apartment in Brooklyn following her catapult into the limelight. The actress, comedian, and internet personality was once “scared” to invest in a larger space, but eventually moved to West Hollywood in 2019 where she purchased a $2.27 million townhome. Nearly two years later, she is now bidding farewell to her former residence listing it on the market for a slightly heightened price of $2.4 million. The presumed reason as to why she is selling her former home is that she recently purchased a stylish Bel-Air mansion for $3.5 million.

Awkwafina’s former West Hollywood home is a contemporary townhome spanning 3,500 square feet. The residence includes three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The loft-style living space offers three levels, a roof deck with spa, and dazzling views of the cityscape. The space opens to a living and dining area with a fireplace and glass doors leading to a balcony. The white, modern kitchen equipped with two-tone cabinets and stainless-steel appliances sits adjacent to the dining space with cathedral ceilings and a bright light fixture. Upstairs, the master suite features a spacious walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom with dual vanities and glassed-in shower. The modern space also offers two other ensuite bedrooms, large bonus room, kitchenette, and office with separate entrance. Other perks of the home consist of four balconies, a two-car garage, sound system with built-in speakers, and easy access to a plethora of restaurants and shops on the nearby Melrose Avenue.

In March of 2020, days before California’s stay at home orders were implemented, Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger purchased the classic Hollywood residence of Novogratz Castle for $8.5 million. The lavish space was initially listed last spring for $9.4 million by video game programmer Jeff Strain. However, Reedus and Kruger were able to acquire the historic home at a reduced price. The two actors have reportedly been together since 2016 and in 2018, purchased a townhouse in New York City. Now, the duo’s regal chateau in the Hollywood Hills is being listed on the market only a year after purchase. The current asking price for the grand castle is a $9.25 million. The reason as to why they are selling their posh residence is unknown.

Built in 1926, the Novogratz Castle spans a whopping 7,732 square feet with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The French Normandy-style home seamlessly blends a regal ambience of cathedral ceilings, crown moldings, and arched windows with modern hardwood floors, custom shelving, and black-and-white accent walls. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a marble island, state of the art appliances, and butler’s pantry. The luxe primary suite features a fireplace, spacious closet, balcony with French doors, and bathroom with unique glass shower and designer tile. The home’s updated amenities include an art media room, recording studio, arcade, bar, and gym. Stepping outside, the scenic exterior space offers a saltwater swimming pool, basketball court, chic patio under string lights, and terraced gardens with century-old trees and abundant foliage.

Wolf Amer, Jon Grauman, and Andrew Botto of the Agency hold the listing for this property.

Even prior to Jenner’s residence, the Hollywood home served as a humble abode to “A Quiet Place” actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. The married couple purchased the property in 2009 for a price of $1.6 million. Over the years, they implemented several renovations such as the updating the kitchen, in-ground pool, and adding a third floor and rooftop terrace. In July of 2016, the duo bid farewell to their former home and sold it to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kendall Jenner for $6.5 million.

In 2017, Jenner sold her LA home after only residing in it for a year due to stalking and burglary, presumably since there was no gate surrounding the property until recently. A 25-year-old man was arrested and accused of following Jenner up her driveway. Jenner also reported that $200,000 worth of jewelry was stolen. Most recently, the space has been home to marketing magnate Bill Guthy and his wife, cosmetics entrepreneur Victoria Jackson. They have recently listed their former residence on the market for a price of 8.5 million.

Built in 1958, the Hollywood home spans 4,800 square feet and includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The living room highlights floor-to-ceiling retractable windows and white-brick fireplace. Three steps up presents the dining room with built-in bar and copper countertop. The sleek white kitchen features an eight-burner stove, industrial hood, and large window overlooking the home's exterior grounds. Stepping outside, the space offers a pool, lounge area and outdoor kitchen. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite is equipped with a seating area, walk in closet, floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor terrace access, and bathroom with a stand-alone tub and two rain showers. The home emulates a rustic feel yet incorporates modern architecture with contrasting light wood floors and white brick. Additional perks of the home include a cinema room, recording studio, gym, and two-car garage.

Kim Kardashian West

Photo Credit: ShutterstockPhoto Credit: ShutterstockKanye and Kim Kardashian West have notably worked with Axel Vervoordt to create their dreamy, futuristic Los Angeles home. The acclaimed interior designer is also an established antiquarian, foundation owner, and owner of two art galleries. Mrs. West is an enthusiast of Vervoordt's minimalistic expression and apparently, has the same taste in art as well.

In 2016, Kim allegedly purchased a sculpture called "Fragment of Myron's Samian Athena” from Vervoordt’s gallery. When a 5 ton, 40 piece shipment arrived at U.S. customs for inspection and the "large draped statue" from an "Old German Collection" bought before 1980, turned out to be a $745,882 sculpture made sometime between the 1st and 2nd century A.D it was flagged as possible culturally protected property. The ancient Roman limestone statue is believed to be illegally smuggled from Italy. Could Kim Kardashian have been part of this art heist of sorts?

A representative for Kim Kardashian claims she never purchased this piece and didn’t even know of its existence until she was alerted of a federal civil forfeiture action on April 30th. Records indicate that Vervoordt is the shipper of the statue, but the importer is listed as “Kim Kardashian dba Noel Roberts Trust.” This trust has been linked to Mr. and Mrs. West for previous real estate purchases, and while neither the trust nor the Wests or Vervoordt are listed as defendants, they may be troubled or negatively affected by these events.

A representative for Vervoordt has said "there is no evidence that this piece was illegally imported from Italy. Our client, as well as our gallery and the gallery from whom we've bought the piece, have always acted in good faith when dealing with the work." The piece is currently in federal custody pending a judge’s decision.

The Valley

In the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, Rancho la Zaca and Oak Savanna Vineyard nestle amid a landscape of rolling hills, ranches, and vineyards, with swaths of poppy-studded pasture and lupine covered meadow. Carved from a royal Spanish land grant and embodying a mythic old California lifestyle, this remarkable estate stands against a backdrop of stately mountains, and azure skies, yet is but 40 minutes’ drive from Santa Barbara, two hours from Los Angeles, and four hours from San Francisco.

With its open vistas, coastal influences, and excellent land values, it is no wonder the Santa Ynez Valley is rapidly being discovered by savvy investors, Silicon Valley denizens, and the Hollywood celebrity set alike. Local schools are among the best in the state, and the county’s Cottage Hospital Network is among the nation’s finest. The area is known of course for its winemaking, but also for its love of horses, offering superb veterinary care and top training facilities in all equestrian disciplines. Hiking, cycling, golf, tennis, farmers’ markets, fine dining, and an active arts community complete an already brimming and beautiful picture.

The Ranch

Unparalleled in the Santa Ynez Valley, the 400+/- acre Rancho la Zaca is enviously located along the storied Foxen Canyon wine trail.

The main residence is a stunning 8,000+/- square-foot, five-bedroom contemporary masterpiece designed by renowned American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen and built for the late actor James Garner and his wife. Since acquiring the ranch in 2000, the current owners have enhanced the property considerably with a world-class sporting clay and shooting range; a well-stocked and picturesquely landscaped pond with dock; a romantic grove of mature olive trees; and a modern six-stall horse barn and regulation-sized rodeo arena, complete with cattle shoots and spectator stands. A lovely old picnic area is shaded by massive oaks and lit at night with hundreds of twinkling lights. And finally, miles of hiking and riding trails wind their ways around this sybaritic sportsman’s and nature-lover’s paradise.

The Houses

The main house stands at the end of a long and gracefully curving drive, where a gravel motor court welcomes visitors and provides ample parking. An arbored walkway bordered by juniper topiaries leads to a capacious entry flanked by exterior gardens. From there a glass-walled passage opens to a dramatic, light-filled great room with soaring 25-foot ceilings and fireplaces at left and right. Inspired by the wooden cobblestoned streets of Old Havana, the current owners installed a wooden tile floor, and added wooden mantelpieces atop the rustic limestone hearth surrounds. Living and dining spaces in the room accommodate cozy evenings for two as well as festive gatherings for 20 or more.

From the great room, handsome glass doors lead to a heated, covered patio overlooking an infinity-edge pool and endless views of the vineyards and mountains beyond. A large surrounding porch offers several al fresco seating and dining areas, a firepit, and a pool house with full bath, two separate showers, and changing room.

The master suite occupies the east wing of the house and comprises large separate baths, closets, and dressing areas. An intimate but spacious separate sitting room looks onto a fenced garden on one side, and on the other a private deck bordering the olive grove. Upstairs, via separate staircases, are an office with panoramic views and a bedroom with ensuite bath that can also serve as an office.

Three additional upper-level bedrooms have ensuite baths, built-in cabinets and closets, and are each accessed by separate staircases to afford the utmost privacy. This construction is a famous signature of Architect Jacobsen.

The large kitchen is fully equipped with the highest commercial grade appliances and copious storage for supplies and tableware. The thoughtful, professionally designed set-up is suitable for the most demanding caterer or the most relaxed home cook. An ample butler’s pantry contains a large wine cooler, wet bar, and breakfast nook with stylish banquette seating, the perfect sunny spot to watch the evening news or visit with family and friends over morning coffee.

A service hall from the kitchen contains more cabinetry, an additional sink and dishwasher, and leads to a large laundry room. Rounding out the main level is an office with built-in desk, shelves, and filing drawers, and a separate room for supplies, printer, shredder, and other office equipment.

A lower level contains a temperature-controlled wine cellar, mirrored gym and workout room, and a large storage room.

Two garages house two cars each, plus additional storage areas, and an attached outbuilding holds sporting equipment, bicycles, and waste receptacles.

Elsewhere on the property is a large utility barn, a 4-bedroom Ranch Manager’s house and a 3-bedroom Vineyard Manager’s house.

The Vineyard

Planted in the 1970s, the Oak Savanna Vineyard is one of the oldest in Santa Barbara County. Originally planted in all Chardonnay, varietals have since been expanded to include Syrah, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo. For decades, winemakers near and far have proudly and consistently produced exemplary wines from the superior fruit of Oak Savanna. And while all vineyards are arguably beautiful, the Oak Savanna is uniquely so, distinguished by its ochre-colored limestone end posts. The handsome, rough-hewn posts were carted in from Kansas, where a lack of wood for fencing gave rise to this quarried variety, now ingeniously deployed at Oak Savanna.

The Foxen Canyon Story

An integral part of the legendary Santa Barbara County wine country, the Foxen Canyon Road is home to more than two dozen vineyards and wineries, producing some of our area’s most coveted fruit and finest wines. Winding its way through vineyards, oak studded hills, and lofty mesas with open vistas and see-forever views, the road has long been a favorite with cyclists and Sunday drivers alike. An area of astonishing topographic diversity, pine-topped distant mountains tower over gently rolling pasture land where cattle and horses graze. In spring the hills turn bright yellow with wild mustard, vibrant orange with poppies, and silvery blue with lupine. In summer when the hills turn golden, the verdant foliage of the vineyards punctuates the landscape and heralds the bounty of the harvest to come. Foxen Canyon is itself the quintessential California landscape, truly a special place.

History of the Zaca Spanish Land Grant

Awarded by the Spanish Crown in 1838, the original Zaca land grant is believed to be the first in the Santa Ynez Valley. The grant was small by comparison, at about 4,400 acres, taking its name perhaps from an Aztec word that roughly translates as “peaceful place.” But no one knows for sure, alas. Around the turn of the 19th century, the land was bisected along the boundary formed by the old stage coach route, then referred to in Spanish as the camino. The camino later became Foxen Canyon, named for a distinguished local military officer whose family resides there to this day. In the 1970s, the property was again divided, this time into four parcels, one of which became the 400-acre Rancho la Zaca. The actor James Garner purchased the property in the 1990s and commissioned visionary American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen to design the current residence, a bold contemporary statement that is as respectful of the surrounding landscape as it is welcoming to all who enter it.

His agent is on the line squawking into his ear about all the money he can make in the music, television and movie industries with new projects being green-lighted right in his backyard. His wife already launched her own successful cosmetics line with as many Instagram followers as the balance of her checking account.

The couple is young, charismatic, rich and ready to take over the scene.

This is not an LA story. This couple lives in Atlanta, a.k.a. “Hollywood South.”

How Atlanta became “Y’allywood”

What started a few years ago as tax incentives for filmmakers to help ease the bloat of Hollywood production budgets has become a complete rival industry. Movies and television reportedly brought in $9 billion in revenue to the state last year with over 300 productions currently being made.

photo by FilmHubATL

Georgia locations can be dressed up to look like anywhere–mountains to the coast. The staffing, crew and catering companies rival anywhere in the world, and there are enough great restaurants and nightlife to keep industry types happy after work.

Black Panther and the last two Avengers movies wrapped here. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Will Smith's, Gemini Man are starting to film now.

Donald Glover's dramedy Atlanta, arguably the smartest thing on television, will be returning for another season. "I’m not making a TV show, I am making an experience," Glover told The Guardian in June.

Anyone who's seen Glover's twisted vision knows that Atlanta itself plays a major role in making the show must-watch TV. "I dare somebody to go to Atlanta and not have a good time," says Brian Tyree Henry, one of the stars of the FX hit show.

Atlanta Real Estate Market Soars

Buckhead listing offered by Debra Johnston

All of this star power is having a ripple effect on the real estate market. Several market reports show that housing price gains have nearly doubled the national average last year. Rents in the most desirable areas are outpacing even historically high places like San Francisco.

JLL’s market research has found that in the last 10 years, nearly $4 billion in completed real estate investment has been made in downtown Atlanta and another $4 billion worth of development is under construction or in the planning stage.

People in the entertainment industry want the perfect place to live, work and play. Atlanta city planners are willing to give it to them.

Buckhead, Atlanta Offers Luxury in all Forms

One affluent area in the ATL that blends uptown chic with charm is Buckhead.

Debra Johnston, an Atlanta luxury real estate specialist with Berkshire Hathaway, says, "My clients from LA love the quality of life here in Buckhead, with excellent restaurants and shopping and the gorgeous tree-lined neighborhoods right in the heart of Atlanta."

The Shops at Buckhead offer six city blocks of designer style. Tom Ford, HERMÈS, Canali, Jimmy Choo, and Dior are among the high-end lines that can be procured here.

Atlanta Is Tops For Home Design Shops

Whether homeowners are on the hunt for antiques, mid-century modern, or the latest contemporary craze, Atlanta offers prime shopping for home design fanatics as well. Everything from high-end boutiques to mega-store showrooms can be found within the city's limits. The Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC) is an interior designer's dream. It offers more than 60 showrooms across 550,000 square feet of space. Visitors are encouraged to explore and engage with top designers.

Atlanta Dining and Drinks

STK in Atlanta

Park 75 inside the Four Seasons Atlanta is the place where industry insiders are often spotted dining on the cuisine that's described as contemporary American with a Continental flair. The food and cocktails are good, but it's the discreet staff and strict no paparazzi policy that keep calling celebrities back.

Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks mixed work and play at Meehan's Public House downtown while making the movie, Sully. Liam Hemsworth has been seen raising a pint at their Atlantic Station location after a day on set.

Mick Jagger munches on the home-made chips at Buckhead Diner, while Hollywood royalty like Denzel Washington enjoys the chic lounge and modern eats served up at STK Atlanta.

With stunning estates, booming business, and a plethora of bars, restaurants, and shops that cater to a high-end clientele–Atlanta seems poised to hold the crown as Hollywood South for years to come.

The latest star to do so is actress Gabrielle Union and hubby Dwayne Wade. Their upcoming TV Special, All-Star Flip aired on April 12th. It follows the couple as they attempt to turn drab to fab in Florida with an outdated ranch home. The difference with this big-hearted couple as opposed to other flippers is that all proceeds are going to charity.

One of the best known flippers is Ellen DeGeneres. Passionate for interior design (she even had her own show on HGTV (Ellen’s Design Challenge), the comedian/talk show host has been flipping luxury LA pads for years. One of her most successful was in July 2014 when  she sold LA’s Brody House (built in 1949, the home has a history of cutting edge design and philanthropy) to Napster founder, Sean Parker for $55 million, netting herself a $15-million payday.

The spa inside the famed Brody House.

In total Ellen bought and sold 7 properties in a decade from 2006 to 2016. Her famous friends have come in handy as buyers (Ryan Seacrest) and renters (Nick Jonas). In just over that time she’s made a net profit of $3.4 million. Sure, A-list celebs earn more for film roles and endorsements but as walking-about money, it’s not bad.

Another well known flipper is actor Jeremy Renner. He and business partner Kristoffer Winters have been flipping homes for years (it’s up to 20 at this point — homes not years). Some of his earlier flips were well documented in website The Wrap. Renner revealed at one point he was making more money flipping houses than acting. The actor said that being amongst the sheetrock, studs and power tools “keeps me grounded.” Most recently Renner has flipped his mother’s house at 201 Elmwood Court in Modesto, Ca., which was purchased in 2007, 7 years after the actor started flipping homes to supplement his income. Renner was hands-on with his mom, Valerie Clearley’s house. She plans to move to LA to join him and her grand kids. Wonder if Renner has a flip in mind to pass on to her there?

Modesto, California

It makes sense that creative types would get into house flipping. Whether creating music or mosaic backsplashes, Grammy winner Beck got in on the house-flipping fever when he purchased and restored a home in Brentwood, LA in 2016. He listed it for $3.75 million, over $700,000 more than he purchased it for.

Sharon Osborne, talk show host and reality TV star, has always been an astute business woman, so of course, she’s a serial house flipper, having remodeled dozens of homes in LA. Her one-hour TV Special was called Sharon Flipping Osborne. “I’m damn good at it,” she said of her house flipping skills on the show. We wouldn’t doubt it.

Most of the movie was filmed in this gorgeous London mansion now back on the market and valued at £15 million. This stately place proved to be the ideal screen-home for Daniel Day-Lewis' dressmaker character, Reynolds Woodcock.

To create the intimacy and realism director Paul Thomas Anderson desired for his film about the 1950's fashion world, the cast and crew moved into the 10,500-square-foot space for the duration of the shoot.

Located in cosmopolitan Fitzrovia in Central London, this townhome can boast something less than two-percent of UK homes can–a Grade I rating.

The seven bedroom, seven bath house is designed in the classic Georgian style with parquet floors, high vaulted ceilings, elegant plasterwork, gilded iron accents, and massive sash windows. The home also includes eight reception rooms spread out over five-stories and connected by a sweeping staircase that rises to a domed skylight and rooftop patio terrace.

The grand staircase proved the perfect cinematic setting for a climactic scene between Daniel Day-Lewis' character and his lover-muse Alma, played by Vicky Krieps.

The home expands to a garden courtyard and adjoining row of stable houses with a two-car garage that any Rolls Royce owner would be proud to pull up to.

The mansion exterior features stone facing and looks out over pristine Fitzroy Square where Day-Lewis would relax on a bench in between scenes.

Recently full of a cast and crew of up to 75 people, the home is now vacant and awaiting its second act. Buyers looking to add a modern update could renovate the lower mews house (Day-Lewis' former makeup and dressing room) into its own charming three bedroom unit or even put in an underground pool.

The home is listed with Knight Frank.

The Heather House was originally built by entertainer Dick Powell and actress Joan Blondell in 1937. The house, which was built in a French-regency style, occupied 1.62 acres on the infamous 90210 Heather Road. The couple purchased this grand estate as construction was wrapping up in 1938 and lived there with their two children until the house was sold to to actor George Raft. Raft, being the man that he was, regularly had overnight visitors stay over including Betty Grable and Marlene Dietrich among other actresses at the time. It wasn’t until 1956 when Hollywood super-agent, Ed Limato, purchased the property where he lived for the next 40 years. With over $6 million spent on additions, Limato added a billiard room, an aquarium, gilt furniture and marble bathrooms.

While modern mansions in Beverley Hills have their own charm and prestige, nothing beats the signature stylings of Los Angeles' homes and mansions steeped in the history of this company-town. Heather House, with its newly renovated interior and rich history of show business elite, is the perfect home for anyone wanting to live the high life just as Limato and his band of celebrity clients would.
