Times Staff Writer

On a bad-hair day in Hollywood, it’s Rachel Zoe to the rescue.

One of Hollywood’s hottest stylists, she is known for making over startlets with her own signature look -- long blond hair, spray-on tan and sexy ‘70s eyes.

Now she is ready to use her talents on the dream house she is planning. Zoe and her husband, entrepreneur Rodger Berman, want to build after they sell the home they own above Sunset Boulevard in the Hollywood Hills. They are asking close to $3 million.

The 2,742-square-foot Midcentury house has two bedrooms and a convertible den, three bathrooms, walnut floors, walls of glass, an open living room, a family room, two fireplaces, a master-bedroom suite, a pool, a spa and a fire pit. The house, built in 1956 and updated, sits on a promontory overlooking the city. The landscaping “creates a sanctuary of privacy,” according to marketing materials.

Zoe is co-author of “Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty & Everything Glamour,” written with The Times’ Rose Apodaca. Her clients have included Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway and Demi Moore. She reportedly commands a hefty $6,000 a day to prepare a starl for the red carpet.

She has appeared on “Project Runway” and “The Simple Life” as herself.

Richard Ehrlich of Westside Estate Agency in Beverly Hills has the listing.

That seven-car garage is worth a few extra points

The three-story home took three years to build. It was completed five years ago. The house has six bedroom suites in 15,000 square feet, a library, an office, a family room with a full bar, a wine room, a crafts room, a full gym with a bathroom, a home theater, a game room and an underground seven-car garage.

The 1.4 acres of grounds are set behind gates with a pool, spa, covered veranda with built-in heaters and speakers, a stone outdoor fireplace and a guesthouse. There are lawns, a pond and towering trees.

The 45-year-old former football star won three Super Bowl rings as a San Francisco 49er. Regarded as the most prolific pass receiver in pro-football history, when he retired from football in 2005 after 20 seasons he held numerous NFL records for number of touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards and consecutive games with a catch, among others.
