Vincent Kartheiser of “Mad Men” has listed his tiny Hollywood bungalow at $808,000.

At the center of a walled and gated lot of 2,325 square feet is a vintage bungalow that was built in 1912 and has been reworked into an open-concept pied-a-terre. The micro-home looks larger than its 603 square feet with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.

The modernist pad features a bed that tucks up into the ceiling when not in use. Its redwood headboard can become a desk.

Storage closets and a bathroom sit behind custom shoji-style fiberglass and steel screens.

Adjacent to the bedroom area is a courtyard that includes a covered seating area. A coffee table converts to an outdoor fireplace.

Estate remains a star magnet

Andy Samberg and his wife, Joanna Newsom, have bought a gated estate in the Hollywood Hills for $6.25 million in an off-market deal, and with it a slice of L.A.’s rich real estate history.

The distinctive residence known as Moorcrest served as the former home to both actor Charlie Chaplin and actress Mary Astor. Chaplin was a tenant, renting out the home in the early 1920s. Astor and her parents, Otto and Helen Langhanke, lived at the property for nearly a decade after the family bought the residence in 1925.

Designed by Marie Russak Hotchener, the restored estate incorporates Moorish, Mission Revival, Gothic and Art Nouveau styles. Leaded stained-glass windows, copper and marble baseboards, custom cabinetry, hand-painted frescoes and elaborate mosaic tiles are among architectural features.
