Myspace cocreator Chris DeWolfe, who now heads the Los Angeles-based online Social Gaming Network, bought a 1950s Traditional-style home in the 9500 block of Heather Road for $500,000 less than the asking price. The seller was “Million Dollar Listing” star and Rodeo Realty agent Josh Flagg.
Flagg bought the house, once home to late television and Broadway producer Michael Filerman, in April for about $4.4 million before commissions and closing costs. He had planned a down-to-the-studs renovation and expansion of the 4,748-square-foot residence.
Marked by a wide motor court, the brick-lined home on more than an acre has a swimming pool and spa. Formal living and dining rooms, a family room, four bedrooms and five bathrooms are among the interior spaces.
Flagg handled both sides of the transaction, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
These are among the top residential real estate sales reported on the combined L.A./Westside Multiple Listing Service for the period beginning Oct. 11 and ending Oct. 17.
