In April of 2018, Leonardo DiCaprio of “Titanic,” “Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” added a newly purchased property to his already impressive real estate portfolio. The Hollywood A-lister acquired a lavish Los Feliz residence on Red Oak Drive from musician Moby through a trust. The sale was closed at $4.91 million, and the estate titled Red Oak Manor reportedly served as home to a member of DiCaprio’s family. Now, the Oscar-winning actor is bidding farewell to the marvelous manor listing it at $5.75 million.

As his primary residence, it is reported that DiCaprio calls Malibu his home. First purchasing a house there in 1998, he paid $23 million for a more expansive 1.8-acre spread in 2016. Other notable properties he’s acquired consist of Madonna’s former home he purchased in the 1990s, a mid-century modern space in Palm Springs, a chic New York City apartment, a compound property on the Sunset Strip, and an island in Belize. Although the star boasts several impressive estates, he is equally generous with his property assets. Earlier this year, DiCaprio’s purchased a Los Feliz home from “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson for $7.1 million and gifted it to his mother. Additionally, he also paid $4.9 million for another Los Feliz home to gift his father.

Built in 1926, Red Oak Manor spans 4,644 square feet and features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Located near the foothills of Griffith Park and beyond the gates of Los Feliz Oaks and its forested setting, the old-fashioned English style property has since been “restored and totally reimagined” by Moby. With its traditional custom millwork, groin-vault ceilings, and elaborate fireplaces, the contemporary makeover presents a new kitchen with marble countertops and walk-in pantry, formal dining, lofted study, gym, steam room, and a security system. The spacious common areas offer hardwood floors, high ceilings, and stately paned windows for a clean, neutral aesthetic with plentiful lighting.

On the upper level of the two-story home, the two primary suites offer theatrical drama with their marble bathrooms yet still evoke a comfortable feel. The guest suite has its own secret entrance with access to a full bath and steam room. Outside, the expansive exterior descends to a leafy space with a swimming pool, spa, patio, and al fresco dining area.

English pop icon Harry Styles and American actress Olivia Wilde have been romantically linked since January when they were spotted attending a wedding hand in hand. Styles is set to star in “Don’t Worry Darling,” a psychological thriller film directed by Wilde. The celebrity couple have sparked much public discourse yet appear to be happily in love. Over the course of their relationship, the 27-year-old musician and the 37-year-old movie star have lived in the Hollywood Hills home of Styles’ longtime manager, Jeff Azoff, before their voyage to London. Last month, the duo reportedly embarked on a summer getaway with quality time in Italy.

Continuing the trajectory of their romance, the couple have now taken residence in a Los Feliz rental. The love nest is meant to serve as a temporary home as Wilde films her role in Damien Chazelle’s upcoming film “Babylon” alongside Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. The celebrity couple’s newfound abode was sold in 2019 for $3.3 million to Spanish songstress Lourdes Hernández and husband Zach Leigh who completely reconstructed and renovated the home into a modern, chic space. Now, the property is reportedly being rented by Styles and Wilde at $13,600 a month.

Built in 1981, the contemporary Los Feliz residence spans nearly 4,000 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Entering the gated property, the single-story home opens to a foyer with a gracious grand piano. The interior layout presents two living areas: one that is cozy and comfortable, and the formal space with built-in bookcases. The renovated Scandinavian style kitchen offers a spacious center island and breakfast nook. The décor encompasses an industrial chic aesthetic with neutral tones, pale hardwood flooring, metal light fixtures, and a contrasting array of windows to offer warmth.

Outside, the exterior space highlights a standalone bar adjacent to the swimming pool that is surrounded by lush green lawn. Additionally, the backyard offers a built-in barbeque and covered patio perfect for entertaining. Other amenities of the lovers abode include an at-home gym, hot tub, office, and music room.

Chris Pine has primarily stayed off the tabloid radar with his real estate portfolio unlike many Hollywood stars with their myriad of extravagant estates. Pine reportedly resides in his Los Feliz home which he purchased from actor Jason Lee in 2010 for $3.1 million. Recently, though, Pine has acquired another abode in Valley Village, Los Angeles. The newly purchased home was last sold in 2015 for $899,000 and in January of this year, it was once more listed on the market at $1.35 million. After several months, Pine secured the purchase at a slightly heightened price of $1.375 million. However, despite his efforts and investment, this residence is reportedly intended to be a gift for a relative. Although it is unknown who exactly the property will be going to, the humble Valley Village house will surely make a welcoming home.

Built in 1947, Pine’s newfound property spans 1,800 square feet of living space and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The quaint home highlights a charming interior of two living rooms with wood flooring and a fireplace. The open style kitchen is equipped with white and red cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and space for a dining table and chairs. The remodeled master suite presents a seating area, large windows, and a newly renovated bathroom with a walk-in glass shower and dual vanities. Stepping outside, the exterior offers 9,000 square feet of space perfect for lounging or entertaining. The covered patio area is surrounded by eco-friendly landscaping with artificial grass and a solar-heated pool. The backyard also features a 400 square foot converted garage or bonus room with an ensuite bathroom and detached shed that can be converted into a home office.

In 2013, Efron purchased the posh compound at just under $4 million. Located in the Oaks area of Los Feliz, the contemporary residence served as home to the movie star for several years before being listed on the market in December of 2020 for $5.9 million. Earlier this year, the price was reduced to $5,575,000 and once more to $5.3 million two months later. The California native currently appears to be traveling the globe for his Netflix show, “Down to Earth With Zac.” Reportedly, he has also made a real estate deal in Australia where he recently purchased a property.

Efron’s former Los Feliz residence spans 5,644 square feet and includes five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Built in 1964, the property currently emulates a contemporary aesthetic and is described as “a perfect celebrity haven.” The home is accessed from a long-gated driveway with stone pathway and glass door. The interior layout features a living room with fireplace, dining area, and walls of glass to accompany the open floor plan with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef’s kitchen highlights a center island, breakfast bar with seating, and walls of storage. Stepping outside, the exterior space presents a newly renovated pool with waterfall, spa, and decks running the length of the home. The floating style stairs lead to a game room equipped with a billiard table and shuffleboard. The primary suite on the main level features dark toned walls, fireplace, and balcony offering grand views of the downtown cityscape. In addition to three more bedrooms downstairs, the property includes a separate guesthouse with its own bedroom and bathroom. Other perks of the home include an office, gym, wine cellar, carport, and security cameras.

In 2013, Ferguson, an Emmy-nominated actor, and his husband, Justin Mikita, purchased the Los Feliz residence for $4.55 million. Over the years, the couple added their personal touches to transform the 1920s style property into their own humble abode. In collaboration with designer Peter Gurski, the end product of their lavish home was grand enough to earn a feature in Architectural Digest. Before Ferguson and Mikita though, another renowned celebrity resided in and renovated the property. The extravagant pool and waterfall were installed by pop icon Gwen Stefani who purchased the home in 1998 before selling it in 2007.

As Ferguson is now planning to bid farewell to his former Los Feliz residence, the home is ready to be passed onto another Hollywood star. Last month Ferguson had listed the property for $6,995,000. However, the closing price for which DiCaprio purchased the home was slightly higher at $7.1 million. DiCaprio reportedly resides in the Bird Streets neighborhood but owns one home nearby that he purchased in 2018 for a family member. It appears that Ferguson’s former home may be intended for a similar purpose, but regardless, will be a grand addition to DiCaprio’s real estate portfolio.

Heading upstairs, the master bedroom features a terrace and an ensuite bathroom with a separate tub and shower. Decorative elements of the home include designer wallpaper and a coffered ceiling. Other perks include an office, gym, meditation room, pool, observation deck, and a three-car garage.

Tisdale has been dipping into the real estate market as of lately, recently purchasing a new Mediterranean-style home in the Hollywood Hills. She has also launched her own interior design business, Frenshe Interiors. Tisdale found inspiration from her father, Mike Tisdale, who worked as a contractor throughout her childhood.

In a 2018 interview with Architectural Digest, Tisdale shared that it was her dream to renovate a home alongside her father. “I grew up with him building all these amazing houses – including Darren Star’s home in Los Angeles – and I missed working together,” she stated at the time.

While under Tisdale’s ownership, the Los Feliz villa has undergone remarkable changes. Built in 1923, the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence blends Old World charm with modern sensibilities. Tisdale ensured to keep many of the original details throughout the home such as the leaded glass windows and lighting fixtures. She has added her own charm to the residence as well.

The incorporation of unique color schemes and patterns has created a delightful atmosphere throughout the home. Tisdale has added a deep teal in the dining room, a dark green hue in the formal dining area, a denim blue within one of the bathrooms, and intricate patterned wallpaper in the front foyer.

New European oak floors have also been added throughout the residence. The kitchen has been extensively updated with white subway tiles and a unique fireplace built into a breakfast nook nearby, designed with the help of her father. The main suite includes a private covered balcony and a vintage-style bathroom with white marble floors.

Outside is a spacious deck, a lounge area with a built-in grill, a large pool and a two-story guest house.
