Actress Jennifer Aniston has sold her Beverly Hills estate, which had been listed for $42 million.
Weeks or months can pass before a sales price appears in the public records, but area real estate agents report the Trousdale Estates home went for $35 million to $38 million. At the lower end of the price range, that’s $3,500 a square foot, an area record.
Designed by Hal Levitt, the restored 1970 house is nearly 10,000 square feet. It contains two living rooms, two kitchens, a gym, five bedrooms and 7 1/2 bathrooms. Outdoor amenities set on about an acre include a pool, a spa, ponds, fountains, an alfresco living room, fireplaces and another kitchen.
Aniston, 42, bought the property in 2006 for $13.5 million, according to public records.
CLASSIC NEUTRA
The Richard Neutra-designed Staller house in Bel-Air is on the market at $10.9 million.
Commissioned in 1955, the home is classic Neutra with walls of glass blurring the line between the interiors and the natural setting of more than an acre. Features include a 4,200-bottle wine tasting room, an office and a pool. The restored 6,674-square-foot house, which has ocean and city views, contains four bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The seller is film producer Gary Levinsohn, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Patriot (2000) and Snakes on a Plane (2006).
He bought the property in 1998 for $3,275,000, according to public records.
Craftsman sold
Survivor host Jeff Probst has sold his Los Angeles home for its asking price of $900,000.
The three-story Craftsman has a treehouse-like ambience perched on a half-acre with mountain and canyon views. The 1,597-square-foot house, built in 1918, includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a detached office, according to details at Realtor.com. Among exterior features are an outdoor living room, a three-tier waterfall and an eight-person spa.
The Emmy-winning host and producer, 48, bought the Gene Autry estate in Studio City for $5 million before putting this house on the market in late April.
FALLING OUT
Singer-songwriter-actress Ashlee Simpson has parted with a Beverly Hills Post Office-area house that she owned before her marriage to Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz. The price: $3,475,000.
The walled and gated Mediterranean-style compound of more than half an acre has hillside and canyon views. The multilevel home, built in 1992 and centered on a courtyard, includes a beamed cathedral ceiling in the living room, a fitness room, a media room, five bedrooms and 6 1/2 bathrooms in 7,100 square feet.
The courtyard contains a meditation garden with a fountain and fire pit. A two-story guesthouse is adjacent to a pool and spa.
Simpson, 26, filed for divorce from bassist and lyricist Wentz in February.
Simpson bought the property in 2007 for $4.5 million, according to public records, which also show comedian Rita Rudner as among the house’s former owners.
MUSIC MAN
Music executive and songwriter Jon Lind has his Windsor Square home for sale at $1,399,000.
The 1940s ranch-style house has been used as a family retreat and a place to entertain. Its 1,870 square feet include a breakfast room, a butler’s pantry, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
As senior vice president of AR at Disney’s Hollywood Records, Lind has overseen recordings by Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. He has written songs for Madonna, Vanessa Williams and Cher, among others.
