Kelsey Grammer’s Malibu digs go for $12.94 million, and other top sales
The Malibu estate of an actor/comedian, a Los Feliz home built for a silent-film pioneer and newly built residences in Arcadia and Brentwood were among the priciest residential real estate sales in greater Los Angeles last week.
$12.94 million — Malibu
The onetime marital home of Kelsey and Camille Grammer sold in the 3200 block of Serra Road.
Off and on the market several times over the last decade, the 4.75-acre estate in the gated Serra Retreat community had been listed in 2004 for nearly $20 million and in 2012 at about $17 million. The Grammers, who divorced four years ago, bought the property in 1998 -- a year after they were married -- for $4.5 million.
The two-story house has a kitchen designed by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. A library, a home theater, four bedrooms and six bathrooms are also within 6,645 square feet of interiors.
A detached guesthouse, a lily pond, a swimming pool, a tennis court, formal landscaping and horse facilities are within the grounds.
Christopher Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker and Christopher Dyson of the Agency were the listing agents. Cormac O’Herlihy and Wailani O’Herlihy of Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.
