After nearly three decades, Joe Mantegna is calling it quits in Toluca Lake. The veteran actor, whose myriad credits include “Three Amigos,” “The Godfather Part III” and “Criminal Minds,” has listed his Tudor-style haunt for $4.195 million.
ATudor through and through, the two-story home sits on half an acre with a charming exterior of brick, half-timbering and leaded glass windows. Rich hardwood floors and paneled walls continue the vibe throughout the 7,400- square-foot interior.
Afoyer with a sweeping staircase kicks things off, leading into a step-down living room with a fireplace and a formal dining room. The most impressive space comes in the great room, where beamed ceilings and angled skylights hang over a pub-style bar, billiards area and screening room.
Elsewhere are four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, family room, wine cellar and elegant office. Everything is whitewashed except for the floors in the master suite, which extends to a scenic balcony.
Towering palm trees top the entertainer’s backyard, where lawns and landscaping surround a swimming pool and spa. At the corner of the property, there’s a secluded dining deck.
Mantegna, 72, has been acting since the 1970s. He’s worked extensively with playwright David Mamet, appearing in his Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Glengarry Glen Ross” and his films “House of Games,” “Things Change” and “Homicide.” Since the 1990s, he has also voiced the role of Fat Tony in “The Simpsons.”
He purchased the property for $1.58 million in 1991. Craig Strong of Compass holds the listing.
New home court for Lakers owner
Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has picked up a property near the team’s El Segundo practice facility, shelling out $2.6 million for a coastal condo a few miles up the road in Playa del Rey.
Buss
isn’t new to the beachfront community. In 2017, she bought a
Mediterranean-style estate for roughly $2.45 million and sold it two
years later.
Her new
place is in the Breakers, a condo development set right on the beach.
The sale price is the most ever paid for a home there, records show.
It was owned by Barry Poznick, MGM TV’s president of unscripted and alternative television.
He
has another spot in the community on the market as well — a
contemporary two-bedroom town house up for grabs at $1.325 million.
This
one’s a bit bigger, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms in about
2,200 square feet. White oak floors and plantation shutters touch up the
living spaces, which include an ocean-view living room and
tile-splashed chef’s kitchen. A dual-sided fireplace anchors the space.
Upstairs,
the master suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the ocean. Down
below, a beachfront patio adds extra space to entertain.
William
Passavia and Susan Kim of Compass were the listing agents; Passavia is
also handling Poznick’s second listing. Sally Forster Jones and Meredith
Schlosser of Compass represented Buss.
Buss,
58, is the daughter of late businessman and Lakers owner Jerry Buss.
Her moves since she took over the team include hiring Rob Pelinka as
general manager and Frank Vogel as head coach.

Billionaire chases nine figures
Metro Networks founder David Saperstein is
setting the bar high in 2020. The billionaire has put his impressive
Malibu mansion on the market for $115 million, making it one of only
seven properties in L.A. County currently seeking nine figures.
Should it sell for that price, it would be the fourth-most-expensive home ever sold in California.
The
current record belongs to Bel-Air’s “Beverly Hillbillies” mansion —
which Lachlan Murdoch bought last year for $150 million — followed by
the Manor in Holmby Hills at $119.75 million and aprized estatein
Woodside at $117.5 million.
Perched
on 2.6 acres overlooking the ocean near Paradise Cove, the modern
compound boasts 12 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms in more than10,000 square
feet. It’s shaped like a wedge, with the broad side serving as the entry
and the pointed side facing out toward the water. A wraparound balcony
takes advantage of the scenic setting.
Glass
catwalks and water features frame the dramatic foyer, which boasts
white marble floors, asweeping staircase and an 18- foot crystal
chandelier that runs floor to ceiling.
Almost
every common space enjoys sweeping ocean views, including a
limestone-clad great room and chef’s kitchen with steel cabinetry.
Upstairs, the master suite includes a copper tub and a two-room closet
with a bar.
For amenities, there’s a 20-seat movie theater, a 40-camera security system and a spacious gym with three
screens. Outside, patios and vistas overlook a swimming pool and spa
that mirror the shape of the home. The landscaped grounds tack on a
tennis court and eight-car garage.
Drew Mandile of the Mandile Knapp Team at Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
Saperstein
founded traffic data provider Metro Networks in 1978 and sold it
roughly two decades later to Westwood One for about $1.25 billion in
stock.
Aregular in
real estate headlines, he unloaded Fleur de Lys — a50,000-square-foot
trophy residence inspired by a French palace —for $88.3 million in 2014.
Two years later, he sold a 123-acre equestrian estatein Simi Valley for
$33 million.
Former Dodger suffers a loss
Veteran baseball outfielder Matt Kemp has sold his custom estate in Poway’s Heritage community for $4.3 million.
The
15,844-square-foot mansion, which Kemp spent about $3 million to
renovate, originally hit the market in late 2016 at $11.5million and was
more recently listed for $4.999 million. The threetime all-star bought
the property in 2013 for $9.075 million using a corporate entity.
Built
in 2003, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion features
a1,200-bottle wine cellar, a cigar lounge and a theater with a snack
bar. Formal living and dining rooms sit off the foyer, which has a
custom staircase.
Two
walk-in closets, a spa-style bathroom, a sitting room and a balcony are
included in the master suite. An elevator services each floor.
Outside,
about four acres of grounds include a tennis court, swimming pool,
fountain features and hedged gardens. A detached guesthouse is outfitted
with a game room, gym and steam room. There’s also a five-car garage.
Kemp,
35, has 281 home runs and 1,010 RBIs across 14 big-league seasons and
won two Silver Slugger Awards. In December, the former Dodger agreed to a
minor league contract with the Miami Marlins that includes an
invitation to spring training.
Kofi Nartey and Jessica Foote of Compass were the listing agents.
A stellar sale for Daisy Duke
Things couldn’t have gone much better for actress Catherine Bach, who
has sold her Encino compound for $5.4 million. She found a buyer less
than a week after listing the home for sale and sold it for $5,000 over
the asking price.
That’s
quite an improvement upon the $1.825 million she paid for the place
back in 1992. At the time, she had finished her role as Daisy Duke in
“The Dukes of Hazzard” and was set to star in the Canadian drama series
“African Skies.” Found in Royal Oaks, the gated property makes the most
of its 0.8-acre lot. There’s a1940s farmhouse, two-story guesthouse,
swimming pool, poolside kitchen and lounge, detached office bungalow and
an entertainer’s space topped by a pergola.
Agravel
motor court approaches the crisp white home, which holds six bedrooms,
seven bathrooms and a movie theater in about 5,500 square feet.
Skylights
and walls of windows brighten an open floor plan with a
chandelier-topped dining area, chef’s kitchen and living room with a
wall of stone.
The
master suite opens directly outside, while a second-story guest bedroom
extends to a deck. The scenic space overlooks a verdant backyard full of
lawns and landscaping.
Bach,
65, is most famous for her role in “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which ran
for seven seasons on CBS in the early1980s. More recently, she joined
“The Young and the Restless” in the role of Anita Lawson.
Jeffrey
Saad and Taya Dicarlo of Compass held the listing. Michelle Mandel of
Keller Williams Realty Calabasas represented the buyer.
If these walls could talk
Above the Sunset Strip, a hillside home once owned by actresssinger Judy Garland and her husband, film and stage director Vincente Minnelli, has come up for sale at $6.129 million.
Garland and Minnelli lived at the house in the mid-1940s with daughter Liza Minnelli. It was later owned by television actor and comedian Wally Cox, who sold it in 1955 to Rat Pack entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. During Davis’ stay, musical acts such as the Band lived and recorded on the property.
The
main house, designed and built in 1941 by architect-to-thestars John
Elgin Woolf, has been updated but still contains relics from its
Hollywood residents.
The
downstairs living room, which was Liza Minnelli’s bedroom, has a hidden
door behind the bookcases that leads to the original master bedroom,
which has a dressing area and walk-in closet. The dressing room,
untouched through the decades, retains its original mirrors.
Other
spaces include a living room with a fireplace, a step-up dining room
and an office. The kitchen, accessed from both the living and dining
rooms, has been remodeled.
Outside,
grounds designed by Davis himself feature a swimming pool, a pool house
with two bathrooms, fruit trees and tropical landscaping. A fire pit is
a more recent addition to the property.
Alexandra Pfeifer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties holds the listing.
