Producing $11.5 million for Apatow
Another round of high-dollar sales resulted in a small mint’s worth of cash changing hands around the Greater Los Angeles area. Among the movers and shakers was a big-name producer, asports franchise owner and a manufacturing heiress. Here’s a look at the most expensive homes sold in the last two weeks.

Wildly quiet by the beach
It’s situated in Malibu, but with its cedar, concrete and stone details and peaceful location alongside a natural stream, this modernist home near Little Dume feels more cabin retreat than beach-house getaway. A nearby guesthouse — standing tall among a backdrop of palms and tropical flora— gives the illusion of being in a treehouse.

JLo opens up and prices down
The more than three-acre property in the Ashley Ridge area of the gated equestrian community has 17,129 square feet of living space and a slew of amenities. A resort-style swimming pool with a spa, a children’s play area and an outdoor living room make the most of the region’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

It’s the flow that she flips for
The actress is best known for her role as Dr. Tina McGee in the early 1990s television show “The Flash” and a reprise of that role in 2014 on the CW network. She’s also an interior designer with a passion for buying homes and renovating them.

Downtown living is a doggy treat
“[Apartment dwellers] were getting the workout facilities, the pool, every amenity they could want. But then they started saying, ‘Oh, I have a dog,’” said Jim Jacobson, senior vice president of sales for Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s development marketing.

Bloom and boom on the Westside
Though L.A. had an oppressive system of discriminatory housing covenants, the area thrived as a center of Japanese life, with Sawtelle Boulevard at its bustling heart.

Even cooler on the outside
Inherently cool and delightfully colorful, the newest collection of limited-edition FAB28 SMEG fridges are the product of an unlikely marriage between style-savvy Italian appliance manufacturer SMEGand Milan-based fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Turns out that the two companies go together like meatballs and sauce.

School sinks fit for home work
Installation wasn’t a problem, but she notes that the cast-iron sink, available in 3-foot, 4-foot and 5-foot lengths, is super-heavy. Although the wall-mounted trough can be installed with the bottom exposed, Hansen chose to build hers into a countertop.
