Lindsay Lohan Sells Her Condo
Lindsay Lohan has closed the door on at least one phase of her life: the condo she bought about a year ago in Sierra Towers.
The actress, who has been in and out of rehab this year, had planned to remodel the 2,100-square-foot West Hollywood unit but sold it instead, as a fixer, for close to its asking price of $2,495,000. She reportedly paid about $1.9 million for it.
The three-bedroom, 2-bath corner condo, on the 27th floor of the 146-unit building off Sunset Strip, has ocean, city and Hollywood Hills views.
The 32-story building also has a rooftop pool, a gym, a doorman and a banquet room.
Sierra Towers, built in the mid-'60s, has been rediscovered during the past couple of years by celebs. Among the buyers have been Matthew Perry and Cher.
Lohan, 20, is working on the film "I Know Who Killed Me."
Actor Dennis Franz and his wife, Joanie, have listed their Century City townhouse at nearly $1.4 million.
The home is close to 20th Century Fox, where the four-time Emmy winner, 62, spent 12 seasons as detective Andy Sipowicz on the ABC series "NYPD Blue."
The town house is in a gated community and has two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in about 2,200 square feet. The master bedroom suite has a sitting area, and the living room has a fireplace. There is a three-car garage.
The couple has been splitting time between homes in Montecito, Calif., (a wealthy enclave next to Santa Barbara, where Charlie Chaplin built an inn) and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, while he has been considering movie scripts.
Generations of families have sent their children to a camp in the Malibu hills. Now, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the property is on the market.
Known as Cottontail Ranch, it is near the Malibu campus of Pepperdine University, which owns the property. The 23-acre ranch sleeps 300 campers and has a swimming pool, softball field, basketball court, minibike track, archery range, corrals and trails. It is priced from $8 million to $9 million.
Among the campers have been Rod Stewart's son and daughter, Bob Newhart's son, Jaclyn Smith's daughter, Pierce Brosnan's son, Cher's son, Sammy Davis Jr.'s son and the Getty grandchildren, according to Dennis Torres, director of real estate at Pepperdine. The camp was donated to the university, which ran it for years but decided to sell because it does not fit the university's mission, he explained. "We're not in the camp business."
Actor Jeffrey Tambor, who gained fame as Garry Shandling's sidekick on HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show" in the '90s, has sold his home in Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades section for about its $2.9-million asking price. The shingle-clad Cape Cod-style home, built in 2003, has a widow's walk, five bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in 4,200 square feet.
Magician Lance Burton, headliner at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, hired Colin Summers of Outside the Lines Studio in Santa Monica, Calif., to design, construct and furnish a castle home with parapets. Summers built the six-bedroom, 6-bathroom fortress on a 10-acre hilltop that he reshaped to create an acre-sized pad.
The 15,000-square-foot castle, more contemporary than medieval, is clad in black, split-faced concrete block to match the hillside, which is covered in black volcanic rock and desert vegetation. The county assessor values the land and improvements at nearly $3 million.
