Nice landing for Erik Ellington

Update: Professional skateboarder Erik Ellington has sold his Hollywood Hills contemporary for $1.4 million.

The renovated single-story house, built in 1953, sits on three-quarters of an acre landscaped with tropical plants and mature trees. Ellington remodeled the inside in an old-world Spanish style with cathedral and beamed ceilings and dark hardwood floors. The reconfigured master bedroom suite includes a sitting area, a hot tub and two walk-in closets.

The open-plan house has four bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and 2,712 square feet of living space. Ellington bought it in 2007 for $1,845,000, according to public records.

Gregory Harris and Marci Kays of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, had the listing. Mark Mintz of Keller Williams Realty, Los Feliz, represented the buyer.
