Back in August we mentioned that Max Weinberg and his wife, Rebecca, had their Los Angeles home on the market. The drummer and bandleader and his wife are serial house flippers. That home has now had a price cut from $3.399 million to $3.215 million (still a little above they $2.88 million they bought it for in 2009) but the Weinbergs have another home to sell.

Their home in Middleton, New Jersey is a seven-bedroom Colonial that they built from the ground up. The Wall Street Journal reports that the house sits on almost 17 of 40 forested acres that Mr. Weinberg bought in 1997 for less than $1 million. Whoever buys the house will be his neighbor, he's keeping the remaining 23 acres.

The 8,900-square-foot house was designed for family life. The couple is downsizing now that the children have left the nest and are building a smaller house near by. The home has a soundproof music room, a movie theater with a lobby and concession area and a pool. Other features include a guest house, a 3,200-square-foot barn and a three-acre skating pond that has bleachers and stadium lighting. It is listed at $6.499 million.

Max Weinberg in the Hollywood Hills, Estate of the Day

Drummer Max Weinberg (he was part of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and was the bandleader on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien) and his wife Rebecca are serial house flippers. The Real Estalker recently reported that their latest shot at a quick real estate gain is a contemporary home in Hollywood Hills. The pair bought the home in 2009 from director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Forner, the parents of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal. They put the home on the market in 2008 for $4.2 million but after a few price cuts it later sold to the Weinbergs for $2.88 million.

The charming home on the famously twisty Mulholland Drive is at the end of a long private driveway and sits on nearly an acre. The five-bedroom home was built in 1953 and has great mid-century modern lines with walls of glass, an open floor plan and a sharp, angular appeal. The kitchen has stainless counters and Miele appliances and flows into the large living room with 14' ceilings and fireplace. The master bathroom has dual custom-poured concrete vanities and wood floors. The property also has a two-bedroom guest house and a swimming pool with views of the Los Angeles skyline. One of the Real Estalker's commenters toured the home and dished on it, including the fact that the master bath serves as the home's public powder room and that the bedrooms are fairly small. This home is now listed at $3.399 million.
