Don't you just love aging rockers? Especially the ones who are good to their mothers?

Just last month, Tiger Woods introduced Van Halen as "one of the greatest bands in history." (OK, the band was performing at Woods' Tiger Jam XI, an April fundraiser for the Tiger Woods Foundation, but still.)

The band, around since 1972 in various incarnations, also has some real estate news to report.

First, there's Mom's house.

Rocker Eddie Van Halen and his brother, drummer Alex, sold a house for $1.5 million that they had bought for their mother in the Summit area of Beverly Hills, according to public records. They paid $688,000 for it in 1987; their mother, Eugenia, died in 2005 at age 89. Big Time Listings quotes unnamed sources saying the house was in pretty bad shape, which might explain why it sold for considerably less than its $2.2-million listing price.

Then, in other Van Halen real estate news, Kelly Van Halen, Alex's second ex-wife, is selling her Encino home for $4,495,000. The French Country estate has 6,900 square feet, which includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a wisteria-covered gated entrance. The two-story entry has a sweeping staircase and screams "old-world charm." at you. The chef's kitchen has Carrera marble countertops and a center island, Viking professional stainless-steel appliances and a separate breakfast room.

There's a library, four fireplaces, custom carpet and window treatments and a stone-edge Pebble Tec swimming pool. Kelly, a former model, is a home designer and, with new husband Baron Rogers, remodels houses.

Carol Wolfe and Michele Hall, both of Coldwell Banker Previews, share the listing.
