Actor Jonah Hill lists Hollywood Hills home with a celebrity pedigree
Actor-comedian Jonah Hill of the “Jump Street” movies has listed his home in the Hollywood Hills for sale at $2.995 million.
It’s only the second time the Midcentury compound will change hands. The original 1959 house was built for actress Beverly Garland by her husband, Fillmore Crank. Hill bought the property five years ago for $1.865 million.
The main house, designed by architect Richard Dorman, was updated in 2012 by architect Padraic Cassidy. Entered through a Zen-inspired courtyard, the house has an open floor plan with living and dining areas, glass doors and a state-of-the-art screening room.
Including the detached guesthouse, there are four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in 3,660 square feet of living space.
The third of an acre lot includes a saltwater swimming pool with a spa, a cabana with an entertainment center, a barbecue area and a sports court.

Garland, who lived at the house until her death in 2008 at 82, had an acting career that spanned more than five decades. Among her most visible roles, she played Fred MacMurray’s second wife on the family sitcom “My Three Sons” (1969-72).

Ex-Kings player lists beach home
Former Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov, who left the U.S. for Russia in September amid fallout from a domestic violence charge, has put his home in Redondo Beach on the market for $2.89 million.
The contemporary-style home on a narrow lot was designed by Michael Lee Architects and built in 2013. Clean lines, floor-to-ceiling glass and indoor-outdoor living spaces feature prominently in the design.
Two floors of living space, with wide-plank wood floors and custom lighting, include an open-plan kitchen with sliding glass walls that open to a side courtyard and swimming pool. A tequila room with LED lighting, formal living and dining rooms, and a media room outfitted with five TVs and tiered seating are also within the 4,020 square feet of living space.

Voynov, 25, was suspended indefinitely by the NHL in October 2014 after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. He pleaded no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge in July and served about two months in jail. Facing possible deportation, he returned to his native Russia last month.
Drafted 32nd overall by L.A. in 2008, Voynov appeared in 190 games for the Kings, scoring 18 goals and making 63 assists. He helped the franchise win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014.
