Hot Property: Paul Michael Glaser lists Agoura home for $2,424,000
Hot Property
It’s hard to imagine anything looking finer than Det. Dave Starsky’s 1974 Ford Gran Torino parked in this driveway, but actor Paul Michael Glaser has listed his Agoura home for sale at $2,424,000.
Glaser played the curly-haired wise-cracking detective on the popular TV show “Starsky and Hutch” from 1975 to 1979. His character’s trademark car, a red-and-white “striped tomato” Gran Torino, made a cameo in a 2001 episode of “The Agency” that Glaser directed.
The house, car not included, has a flat acre. There is a full dressage arena with lights, corrals and a double driveway with horse trailer access. There is also a large pool, professional landscaping and a wraparound porch. The New England-style home, built in 1983, has walnut wide-plank floors, recently remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, crown moldings, French doors, a marble fireplace and a three-car garage. There are five bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms in the 4,500-square-foot house. One of the bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor.
Glaser, 65, also played Capt. Jack Steeper on “Third Watch” (2004).
His first wife, Elizabeth, was an AIDS activist; she contracted HIV through a blood transfusion. Before her death in 1994, she co-founded the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Glaser later married Tracy Barone, who was the executive producer of “Money Train” in 1995.
Cynthia Nexon of Ewing & Associates, Sotheby’s, Calabasas, has the listing.
