T.R. Knight in Los Feliz, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

T.R. Knight, who played George on "Grey's Anatomy" seems to have left California behind. The Wall Street Journal reported that Knight is scheduled to appear in a David Mamet play on Broadway later this month and has relocated to New York. Meanwhile, this beautiful home that he bought in 2007 for around $2.9 million is up for sale. The home is a classic stunner, built by Leona P. Woods in 1930 and given a loving renovation by Knight and his team. The 4,000-square-foot-home is on around a third of an acre near Los Angeles' Griffith Park. The home's major feature is its lovely woodwork. The home's two-level great room has vaulted wooden ceilings and a minstrels gallery. The master bedroom has a domed corbel ceiling. The abundance of wood and peaked arch doorways does give the home a bit of a churchlike feel. It would be interesting to see what Knight would have done with the decor but this place is completely bare. He has listed the home for $3.995 million.

As the Real Estalker reminds us, Knight wasn't the only Grey's Anatomy cast member with a home in Los Feliz. Kate Walsh is still trying to sell the mansion she bought in 2007 for $4.75 million. That home is on the market for $4.295 million .Katherine Heigl has been trying to sell a three-bedroom home in the same area off and on for the past year or two. That home is currently off the market.

Filed under: Charity of the Day

The Point Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to granting scholarships to students who have been marginalized due to sexual orientation or identity. The group recently honored actress Kristen Chenoweth at its third annual Los Angeles gala, where it raised over $300,000. Wells Fargo additionally received a Point Inspiration award for its efforts to respect the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in its corporation.

The star-studded event (including Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight, at right, center) was proof that this organization is doing important work to recognize academic excellence among LGBT students, as it strives to mentor this group of young talent and help guide these kids to college and beyond.
