An ‘A-List’ move for comedian

Stand-up comic and actress Kathy Griffin, whose comedy special “The D-List” is to air later this month on Bravo, has put her Hollywood Hills home on the market at about $1.4 million.

Griffin bought the house six years ago, when she was single. Since then, she married computer consultant Matt Moline. They are in escrow to buy a larger home in the same area for nearly $2.9 million.

The house Griffin is selling was designed in 1983 by H. Mouhibian of Hubris Design. The remodeled home has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in nearly 3,300 square feet. There are granite kitchen counters and hardwood floors.

The three-story home has an open floor plan with 25-foot ceilings, a step-down living room and a loft media room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the hillside and city views. French doors lead to terraced outdoor areas. The house also has two wood-burning fireplaces.

Griffin, in her mid-30s, recently was a winner on the ABC reality show “Celebrity Mole.” She hosted the NBC reality series “Average Joe.” She is probably best known for her role as Vickie on the NBC sitcom “Suddenly Susan,” starring Brooke Shields.

Griffin had many guest-starring parts on such series as “ER,” “Ellen” and “Mad About You,” following her work with the Groundlings, an L.A.-area comedy improvisational troupe. She has had her own HBO comedy specials and supplied the voice for Alice, the triangle-haired woman on the animated series “Dilbert.”

Rose Ware and Terry Canfield of Prudential John Aaroe, Pacific Design Center, have the listing.

Couple move for ‘Extra!’ room

“Extra!” host Dayna Devon and her husband, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Brent Moelleken, have purchased a Hancock Park home for about $4 million and sold their Bel-Air home for nearly $3.2 million.

The house they purchased was built in 1922. The Mediterranean-style estate has six bedrooms and six bathrooms in close to 8,600 square feet. The late Anthony B. Heinsbergen, who created ornate murals on ceilings of several movie palaces and the Biltmore Hotel in downtown L.A., also designed the murals on the ceilings of this home.

Other features include a library; a living room with hand-painted beams and a carved mahogany fireplace; a dining room with a hand-painted, coffered ceiling; an elevator; a music room that is also a ballroom; a home theater; a wine cellar with a tasting room; and a two-bedroom guesthouse.

The home that Devon and Moelleken sold has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in about 6,200 square feet. The home, on an acre with a pool and spa, also has city, ocean and canyon views. The house was built in 1997.

Devon, in her early 30s, succeeded Leeza Gibbons as daily co-host of the entertainment newsmagazine last fall. Devon, from Texas, started working on the L.A.-based syndicated show in 1999.

Dimitri Velis and Mary Louise Burrell of Prudential John Aaroe, Hancock Park, represented the couple in selling and buying. Gillian Rendle of the same office had the listing on the home they purchased.

Stylist makes the Beverly Hills cut

Sally Hershberger, hairstylist for such stars as Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tom Cruise, has purchased a Beverly Hills home with city-to-ocean views for $2.4 million.

The house, built in the 1960s, has three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in about 4,000 square feet. It also has a pool.

Hershberger, in her early 40s, is known for her $600-plus haircuts at her salons in Los Angeles and New York. She is also in demand as a hair stylist for multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns, fashion shoots and feature films.

Ann Eysenring and Marissa Faith of Sotheby’s International Realty, Beverly Hills, represented Hershberger in her purchase, and Steve Frankle of Coldwell Banker had the listing.

Minyard talks it up in two marinas

KABC radio talk-show host Ken Minyard and his wife, Jaqi, have listed their waterfront home in the Channel Islands Marina at just under $1.9 million.

The Minyards are moving to a newly built home they are buying in the marina area of Oxnard.

The tri-level home they are selling is a contemporary on a corner lot with docks on two sides and water views from nearly all rooms. There are 50-foot and 80-foot docks and a wrap-around deck. It has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a loft in about 3,400 square feet, behind gates. The house was remodeled in the mid-’90s and has two master suites, two kitchens and two dining areas.

Ken Minyard was a regular for 25 years on KABC Radio when he left the station to team with his son, Rick, on KRLA-AM. After moving to the marina in 2001, Ken Minyard returned to KABC Radio, where he hosts “Ken and Company” weekday mornings from 5 to 9.

Dan and Patty McInnes of Scott-McInnes Realtors in Channel Islands Harbor have the listing.

Actress, trouper sells her house

Mala Powers, an actress who entertained troops during the Korean War and appeared in a number of series, including “Murder, She Wrote,” “Ironside” and “Charlie’s Angels,” has sold her Toluca Lake home for close to its $995,000 asking price.

The contemporary-style house was built in 1977. It has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in less than 4,000 square feet.

The walled and gated house also has a two-story entry, a dining room with a pitched-beam ceiling, a courtyard, a master suite with a fireplace, a pool, spa, sauna and guesthouse.

Elaine Young and Barbara Eisner had the listing at Century 21, Elaine Young Real Estate, a newly established Beverly Hills company.

1927 complex offered for sale

Xorin Balbes, known for restoring two 1926 Los Feliz homes, including the Lloyd Wright-designed Sowden House, has listed El Cabrillo, a 10-unit apartment complex built in 1927, at just under $3 million.

During the ‘20s, Arthur and Nina Zwebell designed and built the Spanish Mediterranean-style El Cabrillo in Hollywood and seven other buildings in the L.A. area termed “courtyard housing.” Unlike the other complexes, however, El Cabrillo was not built of wood and stucco; concrete was used to create an adobe look. El Cabrillo followed the Zwebell pattern of incorporating two-story living rooms, mezzanines and graceful staircases; the units also have wood floors and fireplaces.

The building was used during its early days as a film set. Real estate agents say that filming income and a tax break, arranged through donating a conservation easement to a preservation organization such as the L.A. Conservancy, are possibilities. The building is an L.A. cultural monument.

Balbes decided to maintain Sowden House as his own residence but is hoping to sell the Cedars, the other 1926 Los Feliz home he restored. Balbes first listed that house last April at $7.45 million. It recently fell out of escrow and is back on the market at $6.9 million.

Francis R. Gibbons and Thomas Inatomi, both at Prudential John Aaroe in Los Feliz, and Joe Babajian, at Prudential John Aaroe in Beverly Hills, have the listing on El Cabrillo. Gibbons and Babajian also are co-listing the Cedars.
