Spidey uses his senses

“Spider-Man 3” is a box-office smash, and now Tobey Maguire, who played Spidey in all three films, is cashing in on selling his Hollywood Hills home.

Maguire sold the house for $11.5 million -- a tidy sum considering that he bought the house as a first-time buyer in 2002 for $3.7 million.

The actor, who is celebrating his first Father’s Day today as a dad, had shared the home with his fiancee, Jennifer, daughter of Universal Studios President Ron Meyer, and their baby, Ruby Sweetheart, born in the fall.

The one-story, 5,000-square-foot residence was built in the early ‘60s and rebuilt in 1990. Cuban-born Waldo Fernandez, who gave the Beverly Hilton Hotel a face-lift after Merv Griffin bought it in 1987, also redid Maguire’s house after the actor bought it in 2002. Maguire will turn 32 on June 27.

The Mediterranean-style home has three bedrooms, a gym and city views. It also has a spa, infinity pool, courtyard entry, chef’s kitchen and maid’s quarters.

Maguire and his fiancee haven’t decided where the family will live next, and he is still considering possible film projects.

Besides starring in the superhero franchise, Maguire appeared in “The Ice Storm” (1997), “The Cider House Rules” (1999), “Seabiscuit” (2003) and “The Good German” (2006).

Brett Lawyer of Sotheby’s International Realty, Sunset Strip, had the listing, and Michael Collins of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Beverly Hills East, represented the buyer.

‘Baywatch’ actor finds haven inland

Actor David Chokachi and his wife, Susan, have become first-time home buyers with their purchase of a house for slightly more than $1 million in the Beverly Center/Miracle Mile part of Los Angeles.

Chokachi, who went from “Baywatch” to “Beyond the Break” -- an MTV Networks series on the N -- and his wife, who plans special events for Gucci, bought a Spanish-style house with three bedrooms in 1,600 square feet, according to public records.

The house, built in 1924, was remodeled recently and has a stone fireplace. The grassy yard has a deck and a fountain.
