If a Rat Pack-worthy home is on your shopping list this holiday season, you are in luck. A trio of houses tied to legendary singer Frank Sinatra are for sale in Southern California.
The properties suit different preferences in style as well as geographic location.
For the beachgoer, there is Sinatra’s onetime Malibu home on Broad Beach.
Built in 1992, the two-story estate served as a celebrity hangout for Sinatra and his friends.
Stars such as Dick Martin, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Eydie Gorme, Robert Wagner and Dick Van Dyke are among those who visited the oceanfront spot.
Architect Ted Grenzbach worked with the Sinatras to design the house, which emphasizes open living spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows that take in ocean views. In 5,800 square feet, there are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including an expansive master suite with a lounge, fireplace, hair salon and sauna. Asking price: $12.9 million.
For the desert dweller, a retreat built for the crooner is back on the market in Palm Desert.
Spanning 7½ acres of desert valley, the scenic ’70s estate is named Villa Maggio — an ode to the late singer’s character in the Academy Award-winning film “From Here to Eternity.”
Three custom-designed structures fill out the gated retreat: a rustic lodge, a two-story guesthouse and a pool house. With nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms across 6,400 square feet, there’s plenty of room for guests, which Sinatra took full advantage of when hosting members of the Rat Pack and other celebrities. Asking price: $4.5 million.
For the architectural aficionado, the Midcentury Modern-style home that Sinatra leased for a decade is up for grabs in Chatsworth.
Sinatra never owned the estate overlooking the Chatsworth Nature Preserve but leased the property for nearly a decade from bank heiress and original owner
Dora Hutchinson. More recently, the property has served as a filming
location for episodes of “Mad Men” and “Californication” as well as the
film “Dreamgirls.”
Set
on about 7 acres of grounds, the William Pereiradesigned house features
16-foottall walls of glass, a wet bar, a den-office, four bedrooms and
six bathrooms. Two swimming pools, amotor court, a guesthouse, lawn and
landscaping make up the grounds. Asking price: $12.5 million.
Leonard
Rabinowitz and Jack Friedkin of Hilton & Hyland and Coldwell
Banker’s Chris Cortazzo hold the Malibu listing; Markus Canter and
Cristie St. James of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices hold the Palm
Desert listing; and Craig Knizek and Barrie Livingstone of the Agency
hold the Chatsworth listing.
New scenery by the beach
Actor Scott Eastwood has found a new setting in Encinitas, buying a custom home on a ridge about a mile from the ocean for $2.68 million.
Designed
by architect Torgen Johnson, the hardwood-filled house holds four
bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across about 3,700 square feet. Splashes of
color come in the kitchen, where powder-blue cabinetry lines the walls.
Murals decorate the living room.
Vaulted and beamed ceilings top most of the interior, including the expansive master suite.
Two
outdoor spaces take advantage of the canyon views: a covered sun deck
on the second story and an extensive patio with a fire pit and dining
area.
The landscaped grounds, which cover just under an acre, also hold a swimming pool and grassy yard.
Eric
Iantorno of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty held the listing
with Lindsay Dunlap of Compass. Christopher Culver of Culver &
Associates represented Eastwood.
The
son of famed actor Clint Eastwood, Scott has appeared in a handful of
his father’s films, including “Gran Torino” and “Invictus.” More
recently, he starred in “The Fate of the Furious” and “Pacific Rim
Uprising.”
Blink and you might miss it
Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 fame has sold his Del Mar home of eight years for $3.8 million.
The
cozy spread is described in the listing as “contemporaryorganic” and
incorporates Midcentury Modern-style elements and walls of glass that
seem to bring the outdoor scenery inside.
The
two-story living room has a rock-finished fireplace and takes in views
of the turf-covered yard, patios and gardens. A dining room, an
office/den, a family room and a center-island kitchen overlook the
living room from the second level.
Some
2,800 square feet of living space feature herringbone wood floors,
beamed ceilings and custom steel-frame doors. There are four bedrooms
and 3.5 bathrooms.
Outside, there’s a fireplace, a tiled spa and a half-pipe ramp for skateboarding.
DeLonge
is a co-founder and original member of Blink-182, which formed in the
early 1990s. The alternative rock group has hits that include “All the
Small Things,” “Dammit” and “What’s My Age Again?” The 43-year-old
vocalist-guitarist left the group three years ago in what fellow
bandmate Mark Hoppus described as a “friendly divorce.” He is currently
working on a new album with the rock band Angels & Airwaves.
Laura Barry of Barry Estates was the listing agent. Shawn Hethcock of Willis Allen Real Estate represented the buyer.
Unveiling their latest production
Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent of “Nate & Jeremiah by Design” have designs on a big move in Hancock Park.
The
designers and reality television couple have listed a
Mediterranean-style home in Hancock Park for sale at $13.795 million.
That’s about $5.6 million more than what they paid for the 1928 house
when they bought it from “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman.
As
one might imagine, the design duo has extensively updated the grand
two-story during their two years of ownership. Among details of note are
steel cased windows, lacy molding and hardwood floors throughout.
Checkerboard-patterned 17th century marble floors create visual interest
in the foyer.
The
8,477 square feet of interior space includes grand formal rooms, a
screening room with blackout curtains, a library and a junior dining
room. There are six bedrooms, five bathrooms and two powder rooms. The
master suite opens to a terrace overlooking the grounds.
Outside,
organic gardens and landscaping create a backdrop for adining terrace,
cabana and wet bar. The house sits on two-thirds of an acre and has a
swimming pool with a spa and a guest house. Elsewhere on the property is
an art studio.
Berkus,
47, gained fame for his home makeovers on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” He
previously hosted the home improvement competition series “American
Dream Builders” and was an executive producer on the film “The Help”
(2011).
Brent, 34,
previously hosted the Emmy-winning series “Home Made Simple.” He is a
frequent guest on the “Rachael Ray” show and has also appeared on
“Trading Spaces” and “The View.”
Brent Watson of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage holds the listing.
Settling the score off the court
Austin Rivers, the
former Clippers guard who this summer was traded by the team to the
Wizards, has put his home in Pacific Palisades on the market for $7.495
million.
The Cape
Cod-inspired traditional home, built by Huntington Estate Homes in 2016,
has six bedrooms and six bathrooms in 7,400 square feet of living
space. It sits on a roughly 7,700-square-foot lot with a swimming pool,
spa and built-in barbecue.
The
main floor is largely devoted to open-plan space and includes formal
living and dining rooms, a center-island kitchen and abreakfast nook. A
purple-clad movie theater and a lounge with a glass-enclosed wine wall
are on a lower level.
Pocketing
glass walls, a rooftop deck and balconies extend the living space
outdoors. There are city and ocean views from the upper levels and
rooftop deck.
Rivers,
26, was acquired by the Clippers during the 2014-15 season, when his
father, Doc Rivers, was head coach and president of basketball
operations. The pairing, which lasted a little over three seasons, was
the first instance of a father-son, coach-player relationship in NBA
history.
Mary Swanson of Westside Estate Agency holds the listing.
