Tyler Christopher In Studio City, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

A few weeks ago we mentioned the Hollywood Hills home of soap opera star Maurice Bernard, now we've got the listing for his "General Hospital" castmate Tyler Christopher's home in Studio City. The LA Times reported that Christopher, who plays Nikolas Cassidine on the long-running show, has listed the home for $1.399 million with Rodeo Realty. The home appears to have been on the market for a while (Redfin says 192 days) and the listing carries the words "huge price reduction." A peek at the property records on Property Shark indicate that he bought the home in 2006 for $1.355 million.

The home is located on a quiet street and was built in 1960. It has hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen, dining room, and a living room which opens out onto a backyard with a barbecue center, pool with spa and a five-hole putting green. The master suite has a bathroom with a stall shower and spa tub. The garage is currently outfitted as a gym.

Having a steady gig in Hollywood seems to leave to leave certain soap opera actors plenty of time for home renovation. Earlier this year we took a look at the home of Peter Reckell and now we're checking out the Los Angeles home of another long-term soap opera stud, General Hospital's Maurice Benard. Benard has had a solid gig since 1993 playing mob boss Sonny Corinthos but in real life he and his wife Paula are avid home remodelers. The LA Times Hot Property column reports that the home the pair has currently listed is one they bought in 2007 to live in while remodeling their larger primary residence. According to records on PropertyShark.com they paid $1.25 million.

The LA Times article says that the couple decided to make a few alterations to the Hollywood Hills home and nearly ended up rebuilding the whole thing. The four-bedroom Mediterranean was built in 1956 but has been given a very modern redo that includes a great room with pitched ceilings, a stacked stone fireplace and slate floors leading to an open kitchen. The four-bedroom home includes a lower level master suite with large his/her walk-in closets, sitting areas and French doors that open to the private yard and views. The Benards like to entertain and also built a covered patio entertainment area with an outdoor kitchen and a flatscreen television but there is no pool. The home is listed at $1.55 million.
