Share via

Actor Jason Biggs of “Orange Is the New Black” fame and his wife, author Jennifer Mollen, have recast their home in Hollywood Hills West for $2.595 million, down more than 7% from the previous list price.

The couple, having decamped to a new address in Beverly Hills in 2013, originally put the home on the market last summer for $2.995 million and more recently asked $2.795 million. It previously sold for $2.249 million in 2007, records show.

Built in Midcentury Modern style in 1963, the gated home has vaulted ceilings, bright tile, a media room, a den/office, three bedrooms and four bathrooms in 2,756 square feet of space. Floor-to-ceiling windows take in city and ocean views.

Errol Flynn haunt at a discount

A Hollywood Regency-style home with ties to leading man Errol Flynn, actor-comedian Paul Lynde and singer-songwriter Moby is now listed at $5.75 million, down from $5.95 million earlier this year.

Built in the 1920s, the home was once lived in by Flynn and long owned by Lynde, who commissioned John Elgin Woolf to remodel the home in the 1950s. Moby came to own the property in 2008, paying $2.95 million, and took a slight loss on the home when he sold it for $2.85 million in 2013.

Recently updated and restored, the 3,700 square feet of living space has 12-foot-high paneled ceilings, Palladian columns and silver-leaf wood floors. French doors take in views of cityscape and grounds containing a trapezoidal pool and domed cabana.

Actor and singer David Hasselhoff, who has new documentary-style comedy, “Hoff the Record,” coming to television in Britain, has greenlit a $100,000 adjustment on his home in Calabasas.

The Mediterranean-style home, custom built in 1990, is listed for sale at $2.199 million after coming to market in March for $2.299 million. Hasselhoff paid $1.95 million for the 5,767-square-foot house in 2013.

The 1.54-acre spread, with tall palms and formal landscaping, features rock waterfalls, a swimming pool with a spa and various patios. A basketball court sits on the upper portion of the property.

Entered through a vaulted foyer, the home is highlighted by a sunken living room with double-height windows, a family room with a wet bar, five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Custom built in 2004, the single-story Mediterranean is distinguished by arched doorways, beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces. A billiards/game room, a home theater, a center-island kitchen, five bedrooms and five bathrooms are within the 11,758-square-foot floor plan. A guest house adds two additional en-suites.
