Dylan McDermott in Brentwood, Estate of the Day


You probably are most familiar with Dylan McDermott for his role as Bobby Donnell, the lawyer with the righteous anger and beautiful blue bedroom eyes on "The Practice." For years McDermott and his beautiful wife Shiva Rose had one of Hollywood's more durable marriages. Now the couple has split and as Big Time Listings reveals their home is on the market. The couple purchased back in 1999 from Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas for $3.94 million and they had bought it in 1997 from Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelly (the creator of "The Practice" and other shows). I'm guessing another Hollywood couple will fall for this one, it appeals to those with creative hearts.

The 1920 Spanish style hacienda in Brentwood has four bedrooms, a two-story vaulted living room with a carved balcony, a den, and the "magical 2n story muse room" which looks to be a cool place for hanging out and communing with the gods on inspiration. The home's details are what inspire envy, plenty of carved wood, original fireplaces, stenciled details and a rather romantic vintage style. The .68 acre lot has a pool/spa area that overlooks the Riviera hills, a courtyard and fountain, and a beautiful 250-year-old oak tree, The listing says it was one of the first homes built in the area and it is a classic. It is listed at $11 million.

For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 90049 . This zip code encompasses the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, CA. This zip code has a median price of $3,114,000 with a sky-high appreciation rate of 440% since 1990.

The ritzy area of Brentwood has been a celebrity magnet over the years from Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland to Britney Spears and Jim Carrey. The governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger lives in the hills above Mandeville Canyon in Brentwood. The most infamous resident of Brentwood is perhaps O.J.Simpson who lived in the area just a few miles away from his wife at the time of her murder.

Today's home is located between San Vicente and Sunset in the heart of Brentwood. The property has around 6000 square feet under roof in two contemporary homes, each with their own personality.

The Robert Taylor Ranch Will Be Auctioned Off

The Robert Taylor ranch, an expansive Los Angeles property which I first mentioned way back in 2005 is headed for the auction block on November 7. The property has been listed at various prices, from $35 million to $50 million, is said to be valued at $60 million. The ranch in Brentwood was built in 1956 and has an enviable 122 acres of land as well as a huge main house with 37 rooms. The grounds include a pool, tennis court, and stables. Former radio station owner, Ken Roberts bought the home in 1975 for $900,000. and so he should see an incredible return on his investment. The property can also be subdivided into four additional lots and much of the acreage can be donated to a conservatory to receive a tax credit in the amount of several million dollars. Any guesses on the final bid? I'm guessing $37 million.

Brentwood Estates, Estate of the Day


Braden Keil of the NY Post alerted us to the fact that Rick Hilton isn't just a hotel heir, he also develops high-end real estate in Southern California. This home is the last of his Brentwood Estates projects. The property is impressive. A home with views of the sea and the mountain, it also has its own one-acre vineyard, tennis courts and a large pool house. The house itself is huge, a sprawling nine-bedroom Mediterranean with exposed beams, wood floors and large stone fireplaces. The kitchen is one of the largest I have seen and the wine room is equally spectacular. The home has a virtual tour but I advise turning the sound down on on your computer before launching. The home is listed at $29.5 million. After the jump, luxury, HIlton-style.
