Ed O’Neill of Modern Family has bought a Brentwood, Calif., home from cinematographer Robert Richardson for $3.05 million US.
The ranch-style house was designed by Cliff May in 1953 as his residence. May, known as the father of the ranch house, designed it as an experiment in open-plan living, with walls enclosing only the two bathrooms. Long drapes and rolling cabinets defined the other rooms.
The home was later restored and refined by L.A.-based Marmol Radziner. Walls of glass open to park-like grounds, and a 288-square-foot skylight brings natural light into the house.
O’Neill, 65, has played patriarch Jay Pritchett on the sitcom Modern Family since 2009. He also is known for his starring role on Married With Children. Richardson won Oscars for JFK in 1991 and The Aviator in 2004. The property had been listed at $3,495,000.
TV host Phil McGraw and his wife, Robin, have sold their Mediterranean villa in Beverly Hills for $12 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows.
The gated property of nearly three-quarters of an acre has a main house, a detached guest house, an outdoor dining room and a swimming pool. Features include a two-storey entry, a theatre, a gym, a billiard room, temperature-controlled wine storage, eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
McGraw started his Dr. Phil show in 2002.
The property had come on the market in July at $16.5 million. The couple bought the house in 2002 for about $7.5 million.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have listed their Encino home for sale at $3,199,000.
The six-bedroom, 6½-bathroom Tuscan-style villa, built in 2001, sits behind gates on a tree-lined street. The 6,718-square-foot home features a two-storey entry, a silver-leafed coffered ceiling in the dining room, an office, a den, and a master-bedroom suite with a sitting area, a fireplace and a balcony. The kitchen opens to a family room. French doors from the public rooms lead to landscaped grounds with a saline pool and spa.
The house was featured in their reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood (2007-present).
Spelling, 37, made a name for herself in prime time television playing Donna Martin in Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000) and reprised the role in 90210 (2009). McDermott, 44, played Constable Turnbull on Due South (1997-99) and appeared on the crime drama 1-800-Missing (2003-04).
The couple’s new eight-episode show, which started earlier this month, is called Tori & Dean: Storibook Weddings.
Public records show the pair bought the property in 2008 for $2,945,000.
