Vondie Curtis Hall lowers sales price of Hollywood Hills home to $2,295,000

The one-story Spanish-style house has drop-dead 360-degree views of the city, ocean and valley. It sits on a hilltop at the top of a long country lane and is gated. The 3,188-square-foot house has three bedrooms and four bathrooms, a flat grassy yard, deck and a kitchen that opens to the pool. The house is truly private -- as paparazzi-proof as they come -- and should appeal to those who like their seclusion to come with a view.

Hall, 52, did 104 episodes of "Chicago Hope" from 1995 to 1999, playing Dr. Dennis Hancock. He stuck with the hospital drama genre for a while ("ER" for eight episodes from 1994 to 2001) and has appeared in countless other shows, including "Law & Order," "The Sopranos," "Soul Food" and "Medium." He's directed episodes of "The Starter Wife" and "Gossip Girl," and written several screenplays.

Ron Holliman of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills North office, is the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
