Kiefer Sutherland's Silver Lake Bachelor's Warehouse Yours For Just Shy Of $5 Mil!

Seth — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:20:00 EDT

Disconcerting news: Patron Saint of Eastside Good-Time Drunkenness Kiefer Sutherland has put his bachelor's paradise up for sale, the Real Estalker blog informs us. Located in a converted foundry on N. Madison (that's Melrose just west of Virgil—hey, we can spit there!), the 14,400 sq. foot warehouse space cost him $700,000 to purchase, and—outfitted with "three bedrooms and four bathrooms...25 foot ceilings and polished concrete floor...[and] curtained off areas that function as an art/painting studio and a home gym set up"—it's now available to you, the Kiefer-Stalking Person or Persons of Means, for a mere $4,895,000. Did we mention it's walking distance to Ye Rustic? Look: We've even Google Mapped it for you!

Take a photo tour after the jump:

Before you begin sobbing between self-pitying bites of Myrtle Burger—positive the listing means we'll see a reduction in Kiefer's legendary pub-crawling exploits in the area—we'll leave you with this thought: You can take Kiefer out of Silver Lake, but you can never take the Silver Lake out of Kiefer. Whoever buys this property, perhaps some Arabian sultan seriously obsessed with 24, we hereby commission you to erect a wonky-looking-Kiefer mural on its facade.

Enjoy the tour.

Ryan Phillippe Doing His Part To Prevent L.A. Real Estate Bubble From Popping

Seth — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 21:15:00 EDT

Crash-survivor Ryan Phillippe has recently invested in some real estate—a sprawling, 8,300 square-foot mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to be exact, which reportedly cost the actor $7,175,000. Some details from the LAT:

The house, which had been listed at $7,470,000, was on the market for 34 days. (Pessimists, take note.) The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house has 8,300 square feet, according to the listing details.

There are two master suites with an office area in each, a large living room and deck for parties and a media room with 14-foot ceilings. The outdoor living area includes a patio with a chef's barbecue, a spa, a sauna and steam room, a fire pit and an Asian-style gazebo overlooking the pool. There's also a two-story gym.

If the lodgings seem excessive—and we've included some of its many other luxurious amenities above—we'd remind you that the gloweringly intense actor's career has been enjoying an upswing lately, having seemingly become Hollywood's go-to-guy for playing tormented government employees in projects like Flags of Our Fathers, Breach, and Stop-Loss.

Renaissance Malibu Helps You Overcome Addiction...With Gold

Seth — Thu, 01 May 2008 18:21:04 EDT

Of the many coastal wellness centers catering to Hollywood's well-monied, well-coke-dealered set, perhaps none swaths its patients in luxury like Renaissance Malibu ("Where currency is for spending, not rolling into little straws."™). The facility—which counts the likes of Daniel Baldwin among its celebrity failures—is now up for sale: a 14,000-square-foot mansion in the neo-Virginia-tobacco-plantation style that's so much in vogue, sitting on an expansive lot of prime Malibu property. (A virtual tour comes courtesy of Radar.) The price? A mere $23.75 million, a piddling sum in exchange for the thrill of living out your wildest Richie Rich rehab fantasies. (Group therapy counsellor Irona not included.)

Because Defamer is committed to making its readers aware of exciting local real estate opportunities each time a red-hot tip lands in our inbox, we direct you to this listing announcing the availability of an historic two-bed/two-bath property nestled in a highly desirable cranny of Laurel Canyon:

Did we forget to mention that this "charming" split-level abode just might have been the setting of a teensy-weensy, bludgeoning quadruple homicide involving drug-addled porn star John Holmes? Ah, that's of no concern to those who know an incredible deal when it's presented to them. Considering the property's place in local history—and we hardly need to tell you it's already been immortalized in a well-regarded Val Kilmer vehicle—the $3,000 in rent can easily be recouped in kickbacks from Hollywood Mass Murder Tour guides desperate to give their ghoulish patrons a look at the crime scene, not to mention the supplemental funds that can be generated by an entrepreneurial lessee's establishment of the official Wonderland Murders souvenir shop.

Own Danny Masterson's Temple To His Clear, Slightly Paranoid Self

Seth — Wed, 23 May 2007 15:21:38 EDT

For a young actor making his way in Hollywood, nothing quite says "I've arrived" like plunking down your sitcom earnings for a first home in the Hills—a bachelor crib of one's own that can accomodate both raucous, hot-tub-mixer casting sessions, and quiet, introspective moments in a sauna-equipped oasis from the showbiz rat race. That's what this Beachwood Canyon home has offered former That 70s Show star Danny Masterson, a residence which can now belong to you, as the actor has decided to address his cramped-living-space thetans by putting it on the market. Our square-footage-obsessed pals at Curbed LA have some of the details:

Our tipster reveals:

1. This guy loves his Scientology. Nearly every room had a plaque of affirmations (or whatever they call them), books on the subject, etc.

2. This guy loves himself. A good 25% of the pop art in the house are drawings and photos and sketches of himself. Oh, and all the mail comes to his inside "joke" names of "D. Punch." Clever self-reference.

3. This guy loves his surveillance. Forget exterior cameras (par for the course in celeb-owned Hollywood Hills houses), there are 17 INTERIOR cameras, planted club-style (in those smoked glass orbs) in EVERY room. Danny can watch the comings and goings all over the house from the control grid in his Master closet/safe room.

While the property's OT-friendly, video surveillance, and Mastersoncentric features may not be the highest ranked items on your home buyer's wish-lists, they nevertheless are attractive amenities to help ease the sting of its $1.59 million asking price. If nothing else, they will provide an excellent conversation starter, leading first time guests to inevitably ask who the giant, smiling guy with the afro and mutton chops is on the dining room's sponge-painted fresco.
