Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Mick Jagger's gorgeous glamazon girlfriend L'Wren Scott has put her her Norman castle-style Hollywood Hills house on the market for $999,999. The 6'4" stylist, designer and former model's chic 1,712-sq.-ft., 3-bed, 2-bath in the Bronson Canyon area was built in 1926 and is very privately situated, with two secured entries off the street leading to a English-style garden courtyard, the Real Estalker reports. The interior features a beautiful carved stone fireplace in the living room with a vaulted ceiling and a formal dining room with stained glass windows. Overall the home has something of a Chateau Marmont feel. Scott purchased the house in June of 1996 for $255,000. She and Jagger are said to be currently living in London.

Embattled pop star Rihanna is recovering from the recent Chris Brown debacle by shopping for a brand new Los Angeles mansion, according to reports. She's eyeing a lavish Hollywood Hills house formerly owned by Jerry Seinfeld, on the market for $6.25 million, E! Online reveals.

The 5,913-sq.-ft. mansion has three bedrooms, five baths, a pool and hot tub, and and a hilltop view of Tinseltown. "She wants a home with a great view," the star's real estate agent Russell Filice told E!. "She hasn't made any decisions on anything yet. I think it's early on in the process."

The Real Estalker reports that Rihanna also scoped out a five-bedroom, four bath house on Sunset View Drive that measures over 5,000-sq.-ft. and has an asking price of $4.495 million. It features a mirrored wet bar in the living room, an infinity edged pool looking out over the lights of L.A., and Cameron Diaz as a neighbor.

Rock stars seem to have an affinity for the 1920s Spanish-style homes that dot the hills of Los Angeles. Today's home belongs to Epitaph Records owner and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz . The LA Times Hot Property reports that he has listed his four-bedroom Hollywood Hills home. The home is a private retreat on more than half an acre.

Filed under: Estates

They call it the Arrowhead Drive Architectural for a good reaso,n this home is a great example of modern architecture in Los Angeles's Hollywood Hills. The home is located on a hill with views of Lake Hollywood. The structure is a mix of the solid and the airy. Its angular form takes the shape of two glass and steel boxes which are perched in poured concrete walls and set for the most dramatic views possible. The living room has walls of glass that retract to open the space to the outdoors. The floating dining room area makes you feel as if you are dining above the lake. The dramatic gourmet kitchen gets a touch of whimsy from the bubble like lighting. The home includes a gym, massage room and a home theater. The pool appears to fall directly into the canyon below.They don't get much more beautifully contemporary than this one. This home is listed at $12.5 million.

Khandi Alexander in the Hollywood Hills, Estate of the Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping

We've been watching actress Khandi Alexander attempt to sell her house in the Hollywood Hills for quite a while now but we never did get a good look at the place and the LA Times Hot Property column brought it back to our attention. It hit the market back in February for $4,495,000. And was marked down, and further down, and down once again. Now there is a fancy new property tour online and we all know I can't resist one of those so here comes the flood of pictures. Alexander, who played Miami chief medical examiner Dr. Alexx Woods on "CSI: Miami" and has been on a bunch of other TV shows including one of my favorites "NewsRadio," may have gotten a stager in on this. Her four-bedroom home looks a bit spiffier than it did when the Real Estalker uncovered the original listing in February. But I can see though why it may not have sold. It's one of those multi-level hills homes with a slightly wacky floor plan and no real place for the kiddies. It's also practically in the backyard of the Chateau Marmont. And then there's the pool, or rather the poolette, it's barely a lap pool. Still, that sweeping staircase is lovely and the views are beautiful. It's a classy (or should we say khlassy) abode. At its current price, Ms. Alexander won't be making a lot of cash, she bought for $2.85 million back in 2006. The home has two living rooms, five fireplaces, a separate guest apartment, a formal dining room and a three-car garage. It remains at $2.295 million.

Bird Street Architectural, Estate of the Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates

Our friends at Curbed LA picked a while back and it's too deliciously Los Angeles not to mention. Located in the coveted "bird streets" area in the Hollywood Hills, the listing says that is is an "entertainer's trophy home" but I don't know who the owner is. The contemporary home has three bedroom suites plus a separate two-bedroom guest suite with a private entrance. The home is angled for sparkling night views and has a large terrace and a wedge-shaped pool area carved into the hillside. The style is so contemporary and trendy as to be admirable but perhaps not quite livable (those polished concrete floors above look like an accident waiting to happen). The home includes an open kitchen, media room and a gym. It is listed at $12.85 million and more pictures are available at the property website (worth seeing especially for the trio of stylized mounted deer heads).

Jenna Jameson Slept Here, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Just when I was despairing of finding a fun celebrity home to dish about this Sunday, the Real Estalker Mama delivered with the news that infamous porn goddess Jenna Jameson has put her Los Angeles home on the market. Jameson's three-bedroom home is a sweet little piece of Los Angeles history, a Spanish style charmer that was a former Valentino family home.

The multi-story Mediterranean is a quirky mix of California casual with some of the more bold choices you might expect from a woman with a reputation to uphold such as a bordello-red bathroom and a media room with black striped walls, a zebra striped ottoman and sliding glass doors leading out to the courtyard spa. There's much to love here including the tiled staircases, gleaming hardwood floors and beamed ceilings. It also must be noted that she has one impressive shoe collection in her large dressing room. But the house does seem to be one of those hillside homes that gives you stairs at ever turn, stairs to the entrance and the home has a piecey multilevel vibe. Not great as a family home.

Jameson must be in a hurry to move (there is that pregnancy rumor after all) because she's put the home on the market for the same price she paid in 2006, $2.7 million.

Molly Sims in the Hollywood Hills, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

We here at Luxist owe a debt to Molly Sims. The picture of her in a diamond bikini remains a perennial top hit for our site. The lovely Sports Illustrated model and television star has put her charming three bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills on the market. This 1930s Spanish style home with views of the Los Angeles skyline has some fantastic details such as the bright white kitchen with Carrera marble countertops and the massive wine refrigerator. As the Real Estalker mentioned, the ebonized Saltillo tile floors are particularly gleaming and charming. The 3,043-square-foot home also has plenty of French doors opening out onto the patio and looks like it stays cool even when it's hot outside.

There are some off notes here. The puce shag and retro wallpaper in the den seem in need of a redo and the pool is a wee bit close to the house for maximum comfort and lounging potential. Plus, and this is probably just a personal quirk, I'm not a fan of the trough-like stone sink in the guest bath. Molly Sims paid $1.425 million for the home back in 2004 and is asking $2.999 million now.

Kingston in the Hills, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

I've always thought British actress Alex Kingston was a class act and her home proves it, Celebrity Big TIme Listings found her Los Angeles home for sale. This 4,257-square-foot house in the Hollywood Hills was built in 1964 and remodeled by Paul Hinckley. The six-bedroom home just hit the market and probably won't remain on sale long, it's a beautiful home that gently treads the line between boring and zen. The living room has Douglas Fir ceilings, a two-sided fireplace and concrete floors. It has a beautiful Bulthaup kitchen and a meditation/spa room with an indoor/outdoor bath area.The master suite is located up a mahogany staircase and has a private balcony. The outdoors includes a large lawn, pool and spa and views of the Lake Hollywood reservoir. This home is listed at $4.75 million.
