Share

Talk about dramatic exits. Patrick Dempsey, whose popular “Grey’s Anatomy” character went from McDreamy to McDead last month, is also ready to part with his oceanview estate in Malibu for $14.5 million.

The Frank Gehry-designed Tin House sits behind wooden gates on 3.2 mountainside acres with such everyday amenities as a rock-climbing wall, a lawn large enough for soccer practice, animal coops and hutches and a four-stall barn.

The two-story Modern-style residence, created for renowned abstract painter Ron Davis and built in 1972, is constructed of corrugated metal.

Inside, high ceilings, skylights and expanses of angular walls of windows bring light into the great room. Wood floors and massive exposed wood beams add a warm ambience to the interiors.

A second-story family room, an office, three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms are among other rooms within the 5,547 square feet of living space.

Wooden decking surrounds the swimming pool, which has a detached spa. There are multiple outdoor seating areas, patios and a brick-floored open-air kitchen. A vintage Airstream on the site has been used as a guesthouse.

Olive and fruit trees, pastureland, vegetable gardens, flower beds complete the grounds.

Dempsey, 49, has spent the last decade on “Grey’s Anatomy” playing brain surgeon Derek Shepherd. Last month his character was killed after he was hit by a car and sustained a brain injury.

He and his wife, Jillian, who filed for divorce in January, paid $7 million for the property in 2009, public records show.

Brett Lawyer of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, and Christopher Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker are the listing agents.

Bye to a couple of characters

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have sold their Beverly Hills home, which was being shopped off-market at $32 million.

The two-acre estate centers on an elegant main house designed in a French country style by architectural designer Robert DeYoung.

FOR THE RECORD

An earlier version of this incorrectly credited Wallace Neff as architect of the house. Neff designed a previous residence on the site, but it was torn down to just a shell, then rebuilt and expanded by architectural designer Robert DeYoung.

------------

Within the 14,579 square feet of living space are a projection room, living, family and dining rooms, an office, an art studio, a bar, a den, a gym and a wine cellar. There are also five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Fireplaces grace the living and family rooms, the library and the master bedroom. The brick-clad two-story also has a basement.

Playing the angles in Tarzana

Joshua Gomez of “Chuck” fame put his Midcentury Modern showplace up for sale in Tarzana at $1.997 million and in a week it was in escrow.

The actor and his wife, Amy Pham, restored and upgraded the Harry Gesner-designed Triangle House (also known as the Kimball House), with fun furnishings and treatments that have reinforced its 1960s vibe.

A huge gray and orange-accented gate, designed in keeping with the triangle motif, slides away to reveal the compound’s long driveway.

A trapezoid-shaped carport with a rooftop deck, a 4,600-square-foot main house, a swimming pool, outdoor dining and lounging areas, fountains and a guesthouse that is a miniature of the main residence sit on the 1.3-acre lot. Walls of glass take in views of the surrounding trees.
