Music industry's Paul Oakenfold lists home with Bowl view
Legendary DJ, music producer, re-mixer and record mogul Paul Oakenfold will give up one of the most unusual views in the Hollywood Hills when he sells his house, listed at $10 million.
The four-bedroom home includes a private spa and bleachers that have views of the Hollywood Bowl stage.
Imagine: No parking hassle, and the price is right.
His house, on a promontory, has sightlines from almost directly above the Hollywood Bowl to the L.A. Basin and beyond. So he can see the ocean while watching whatever is on stage. It is "a very rare opportunity," the Multiple Listing Service notes.
French provincial in style, the three-story, 4,500-square-foot house was built in 1949 but was updated a few years ago.
Oakenfold added a recording studio.
The home has offices, a kitchen with a loft; six bathrooms, a master-bedroom suite with a fireplace; a grassy lawn, a pool, a spa and those bleachers, from which to view the Bowl.
London-born Oakenfold, 44, has mixed songs since he was 16 for artists including the Rolling Stones and Snoop Dogg. His own record label is Perfecto.
Mark Goldsmith and Albert Hughes have the listing at Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills north office, according to the MLS.
Dee-Darin home is cool, Daddy-o
Hotelier Jason Pomeranc has purchased a former Hollywood Hills home of actress Sandra Dee and singer Bobby Darin for about $3 million, and now he has hired Brad Dunning to restore the classic Midcentury showpiece.
The home was built in 1955 and has five bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in 4,200 square feet.
Pomeranc, 36, is co-owner of a Manhattan-based company that manages hotels, and he owns hotels on both coasts. He intends to remain bicoastal after the Dee-Darin house is restored.
Dunning has worked on other celebrities' homes, including the residence of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.
Lisa Chamberlain of Sotheby's International Realty, Los Feliz, represented both sides of the transaction.
A desert shrine to Ol' Blue Eyes
Frank Sinatra's desert hideaway, named Villa Maggio for Ol' Blue Eyes' Oscar-winning character, Pvt. Angelo Maggio in the movie "From Here to Eternity" (1953), is on the market at close to $5 million.
The compound, on 9 acres in Pinyon Canyon, is in Mountain Center above El Paseo in Palm Desert. Sinatra, who died at 82 in 1998, helped design the 4,800-square-foot home and had it built in 1970. He lived there for 15 years. Current owner Naomi Ritz has lived there for 11 years.
"He would bring his guests, via his jet, into Palm Springs airport," Ritz said. "Then they were flown up here in his helicopter."
The property has a helicopter pad and a Midcentury-style lodge of stone and wood. The compound sleeps 16 to 22 people. There is an attached two-bedroom guesthouse, a detached guesthouse and a pool house with a kitchen.
