David Geffen's $100M Pad

2007-09-04T09:16:00.000-07:00

Mama at the Realestalker says this place might be on the market for $100 million. If Mama says it you can take it to the bank. Although this is not on the open market yet it should be soon. How many landscaper's do you think Geffen employees to keep the grounds looking this good? When Geffen Remodeled this place he was rumored to have spent 20 million on the landscaping alone! They say you can afford a lot of 'bush' for 20 million. Not Geffen though, he is the richest,or one of the richest openly gay guys in the world.

Keeping Up With The Jones's

Or in this case the Saperstien's. Notice how the Geffen Estate sits right accross the street from the Saperstien Mansion. The Saperstien house is on the market for $125 million.

Tobey's Place in Hancock Park

2007-09-04T08:44:00.000-07:00

Traditionally a bastion of old money and elegant traditional estates, Hancock Park is becoming younger and hipper with stars like Tobey Maguire calling it home. According to Big Time Listings, Angela Bassett, Isaiah Washington, Joey McIntyre, Anne Heche and Gwen Stefani all own or have recently owned property here.

Paris Hilton's Flip

2007-08-27T18:01:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton, real estate genius? All the blogs are saying this will be her next house. She is rumored to have this place under contract. Do you think that she has figured out that she can put a place under contract and all the resulting publicity will spark curiosity in the property?Maybe she can then "flip" the house for a profit? Who knows, stranger things have happened, I guess.

Robert Wagner's Ranch-Style Home in Brentwood

2007-08-27T16:20:00.000-07:00

Robert Wagner, R.J. to his friends, is unloading his big ranch style house right off Sunset in the Sullivan Canyon area of West L.A.

He has owned this house since 1973 when he paid $220,000, according to the Realestalker. Ruth Ryon from the L.A. Times says that this baby went for near 15 mil. Well we don't know how "near" but we'll see what Mr. Big Time says, because he is the purchase price guru. Still, R.J. you did pretty good on this place money wise. We figure about a 24 percent annual return on this 34 year investment.

Ever wonder how life imitates art and vice versa? Remember Hart to Hart the TV show where Robert Wagner plays a suave and wealthy Millionaire? In real life Robert Wagner is certainly suave and wealthy. The show "Hart to Hart" was set in a big ranch style estate up in old Mandeville Canyon. Mandeville Canyon is only one street over from Old Oak Road where this place is. In "Hart to Hart" Wagner's character, was married to a sexy and slightly younger red-head, played by the beautiful Stephanie Powers. In real life he is married to Jill St. John who to me is very similar in looks and stature to Miss Powers (i.e. they are BOTH smokin' hotties!!) See what I'm saying? Weird huh?

If you like these types of houses (I have to admit a soft spot in my heart for them) then West Los Angeles is where you need to be. Most famously, Brian Grazer is trying to sell his ranch-style monster, right down the street in Pacific Palisades. Check out the radical remodel the Grazer's did. We featured it a while back. This may be the most expensive "flip" in America at $27.5 mil.

The Most Expensive House in America

2007-07-18T09:01:00.000-07:00

Does this look like 165 million to you? Me neither, but this is an interesting property. JFK and Mrs. JFK spent part of their honeymoon here. This was also once the love nest of newspaper baron WilliamRandolf Hurst and his mistress Marion Davies.

This house is on the "bad" side of the mountain, you know the valley side. This house is just below the neighborhood Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears live in. Mr. Clooney likes his privacy and we found that out when all we could get is a picture of the roof of the house.

The Realestalker has reported that Ozzie and Sharon Osbourne recently sold this house to Christina Aguilar and her husband Jordan Bratman. This home was made internationally famous by the Osbournes reality show. When the show was being taped Ozzie and Sharon were constantly at odds with the neighbors over the noise coming from the tennis courts. Evidently the neighbors played tennis from sun up to sun down. True to form you can actually see someone on the court playing in one of the pictures.

Three of my favorite houses in the Bird Streets. The middle home goes up in front of your eyes. One of the other homes I found on Prudential California Realty and man you REALLY need to go check out the view. I am a real sucker for city lights views, not jet-liner views, not even ocean views (except for a whitewater view of course). I think the ideal house should have lights as far as the eye can see and BOY this house fits that bill. I'm sorry but I don't have any information about the third house.

P.S. Actually now that I think about it the ideal house ought to have a white water view and a city lights view at the same time, which is why Ilove this house in Pacific Palisades so much!

This is a grownup's Disney land, the only thing you don't have is tennis courts. On the other hand this is Malibu and most don't even have a pool, let alone a pool and a hot tub, and a bar-b-cue pit, and a beach shack/cabana!!! We should all be so lucky. . .

We do wonder though when you have to go into town, how long does it take? Do you have a helicopter for the commute? We noticed you were a long way out here. Heck your closer to Seattle than LA when you're out this far. Evidently when your Michael Eisner people come to you. .
