Calabasas Fit for New King

Hockey star JARI KURRI, who just started training with the Los Angeles Kings after 10 seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, is settling into his new home in Calabasas.

An all-star right wing, Kurri left the Oilers after the 1989-90 season to spend 1990-91 playing hockey in Italy so he could be closer to his home in Finland.

One reason he left Milan for Los Angeles was to play on the same team as his former Oilers buddy of eight years, Wayne Gretzky, who was traded to the Kings three seasons ago. While with the Oilers, Kurri and Gretzky were known as one of the most potent offensive pairs in National Hockey League history.

Kurri and his wife, Tiina, bought a gated, Mediterranean-style home with five bedrooms in 4,500 square feet for about $1 million. The home, which is two to three years old, also has a pool and spa.

“They liked the schools and clean air of Calabasas,” said a spokeswoman for Fred Sands Realtors.

The Kurris, who will also maintain their home in Finland, have twin 6-year-old sons.

The transaction was handled by Dottie Zola, who represented the Kurris, and Sue Drazen and Joan Weitzner, who had the listing. All are with Fred Sands’ Woodland Hills office.

ROBERT LOGGIA, who co-stars as an assistant football coach in the just-released movie “Necessary Roughness” and played a widower in the CBS summer sitcom “Sunday Dinner,” has sold his Malibu condo overlooking Broad Beach.

He and his wife, Audrey, bought the townhouse a year ago this summer. She redecorated and renovated the unit, which had been built about seven years ago.

“She redid it for themselves as a weekend place, but they only spent a few nights in it, because they found that they were too busy to use it,” said Georgie Bagley Fenton of Jon Douglas Co.’s Malibu office, who represented the Loggias in their sale.

The Loggias, who maintain a Beverly Hills residence, sold their beach home for close to its $710,000 list price, other sources said.

When they bought in the 14-unit, gated complex, the condos there were selling in the $560,000 to $625,000 range, public records showed at the time.

Southfork, the Texas ranch that was used in the CBS series “Dallas,” can be purchased for about $4 million, said Norman Adams, who represents the property through his Adams & Co., Newport Beach office.

The 24-acre property comes with the 5,500-square-foot ranch house where the “Dallas” Ewing family lived. The entire second floor is a master bedroom suite, and the first floor has three other bedrooms.

The home includes furnishings provided by “Dallas” producer Lorimar. Lorimar once owned the property, which is now owned by a bank.

There are also some apartments, offices, and convention and horse-training facilities on the site, which adjoins another 122 acres, also available for purchase at about $4 million, Adams said.

Visitors still arrive at Southfork by the busload to see the ranch and a museum there that has “Dallas” memorabilia, including the gun that shot J.R., he said. The property is about 15 minutes northeast of Dallas.

Hair products creator VIDAL SASSOON, who bought the former Beverly Hills home of Princess Shams--the sister of the late Shah of Iran--a few weeks ago, has put two of his three Century City condos on the market.

He has been living in one of the condos, priced at $1.5 million, and his college-age children have been living in the other, listed at a bit more than $1 million. His mother will continue to live in his third unit.

Sassoon bought the condos in 1990, when they were new, for the security, tennis courts and swimming pools in the gated, low-rise complex.

His unit has two bedrooms and a den, a library, three fireplaces, a private terrace and a gallery entry foyer. His children’s unit has three bedrooms.

The condos are one above the other, total 5,000 square feet and could be joined as one unit.

“When he bought the condos, he thought that if there was ever a resale, the same buyer might purchase both units and build a stairway between them,” said Linda Turner, who has the listings at the new Beverly Hills firm of Jamaal Wilkes Realtors.

Turner, who represented Sassoon in buying Princess Shams’ former home, is president of the company, which opened its office a month ago, and she is a partner of former L.A. Lakers star Jamaal Wilkes, who also owns and operates a mortgage brokerage firm.
