Ari Gold has closed another deal.
Actor Jeremy Piven, known for his role as the power agent on the long-running HBO show “Entourage,” has bought a home in the Mount Olympus area of Hollywood Hills West for $6.8 million.
Perched on a hilltop, the modern residence employs a switchback design that vaults the dining room ceiling while creating a rooftop terrace above. Ample outdoor living space and walls of windows maximize dramatic cityscape and ocean views.
The 4,800 square feet of openplan living space includes an artistic floating staircase, a centerisland kitchen, living and game rooms, four bedrooms and five bathrooms. In the master suite, which features a fireplace and soaking tub, a pocketing glass wall opens to a canyon-facing balcony.
Outdoors, a sunken fire pit area is just below the infinity-edge swimming pool, which has a separate spa. A glass-walled garage is just beyond the gated entrance.
The home came up for sale in December for $7.9 million and was more recently listed for $6.999 million, records show.
Listing agents Sally Forster Jones, Aaron Kirman and Alek Carrera of John Aaroe Group declined to comment on the sale. Jonathan Tan of Ko Tai Realty represented the buyer, according to the combined Los Angeles/ Westside MLS.
Piven, 51, won multiple Primetime Emmys during his eightseason run on “Entourage.” The actor also has film credits that include “Old School” (2003), “Spider-Man” (2003) and “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” (2014).
More recently he starred in the British drama series “Mr Selfridge.”

Making out with a queen’s ransom?
Lena Headey is
ready to move on from her realm in the San Fernando Valley. The “Game
of Thrones” actress has listed her remodeled home in Sherman Oaks for
sale at $1.945 million.
Should
Headey get close to that amount, she’d see a nice return for her
efforts. Records show she bought the property three years ago for
$790,000, or less than half of the asking price.
Surrounded
by white horizontal fencing, the midcentury-modern-style house has
decamped from its original 1950s design with anew, second-story
addition. Classic brickwork and contemporary wood siding play up the
differences between the old and new styles.
The
open-plan layout features vaulted ceilings, bright artistic tile,
herringbone-patterned reclaimed wood floors and a living room with a
brick
fireplace. The reimagined kitchen, which features a bedazzled backsplash
and an island/bar, opens to a family room and outside through Fleetwood
sliding doors.
There are five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in more than 2,900 square feet of living space.
Outdoors,
market lights crisscross over a saltwater swimming pool. Privacy
hedges, hanging wall gardens and drought-tolerant landscaping fill out
the grounds, which also include an outdoor shower.
Zoe Rudolph of John Aaroe Group holds the listing.
Headey,
43, stars on “Game of Thrones” (2011-present). The British actress had
the title role in the 2008-09 series “Terminator: The Sarah Connor
Chronicles.” This year she appeared in the film “Thumper” alongside
Eliza Taylor and Pablo Schreiber.

Found
in lower Bel-Air, the modern showplace features furnishings by Minotti,

are scattered throughout the 6,020 square feet of sophisticated living

Lavish landing on the Westside
ABeverly
Hills home that was on the receiving end of a Howard Hughes
crash-landing decades ago has come on the market for $14.45 million.
The
filmmaker and aviator was flying the XF-11, a reconnaissance aircraft
commissioned by the Air Force, on its maiden voyage in 1946 when he
experienced engine problems mid-flight. Failing to reach the Los Angeles
Country Club for an emergency landing, the plane careened into a pocket
of homes on North Linden Drive and Whittier Drive, including the one
now for sale.
The
plane’s right wing sliced through the upstairs bedroom of the home,
narrowly missing the occupants, the brother and sisterin-law of actress
Rosemary De- Camp, according to Times archives.
Hughes
was critically injured in the crash but survived, and a year later he
successfully completed a test flight of the second XF-11 prototype.
Designed
and built in 1926 by architect Wallace Neff, the extensively renovated
house sits on more than a third of an acre. Arched features, detailed
wrought-iron work and a clay-tiled roof speak to the home’s Spanish
Revival roots.
The
6,500 square feet of interior space includes a marble-lined foyer, a
living room with handpainted cathedral ceilings, a formal dining room,
an updated kitchen and a billiard room.
The
second-floor master suite, which boasts an oversized walk-in closet,
opens to a veranda overlooking the grounds. There are five bedrooms and
five bathrooms in all.
Outdoors,
ample patio space surrounds a rectangular swimming pool with a spa and
waterfall feature. An outdoor dining area, fire pit and barbecue
complete the setting.
The
property last changed hands four years ago for about $6.25 million,
public records show. In the 90210 ZIP Code, based on 42 sales, the
median sales price for single-family homes in May was $4.5 million, up
45.2% year over year, according to CoreLogic.
Aaron Kirman and Louis Evans of John Aaroe Group hold the listing.
