Adam Carolla, host of the show that bears his name, has listed one of his three Los Angeles-area homes for sale. No, not the one he lives in -- which sits high up in the Hollywood Hills and was recently full remodeled and renovated. And no, not his Malibu place. But one that he owns in Beachwood Canyon that he used to live in before be became rich and famous and which, by the way, he personally renovated in 1996 -- personally renovated as in holding a hammer in his hand.

Says Carolla: "Totally rebuilt, piece by piece, like a restoration of an old car with modern equipment." Vroom, vroom.

Asking price: $1,395,000.

The three-bedroom home with 2,281 square feet has views of the Hollywood sign and downtown Los Angeles. Carolla is only the second owner since 1944 of this home, which is located on one of Beachwood Canyon's premier streets. Carolla installed new HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) systems, retrofitted and bolted the home to the foundation to meet earthquake standards, installed a new kitchen with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, added a new slate roof, hardwood floors, a security system and a hot tub; he also changed out the electrical and plumbing systems. Whew. When did he have time to work?

The gated property sits on a promontory point and has city lights and canyon views. There is a step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace and bar. The family room has a second fireplace and a built-in entertainment center. There are flat lawns, an outdoor patio and water features. There is a walk street stairway nearby that accesses markets and restaurants.

Karen Misraje of Teles Properties has the listing.
