Steph Curry Shoots for $3.195M for His California Estate

While Steph Curry’s intent to stay with the Warriors is pretty clear to fans and sports spectators, his real estate ventures are less clear. All we know for certain is that he’s trying to walk away from the Walnut Creek estate that he picked up for an even $3.2 million in 2015.

Just 14 months after he picked up the Mediterranean-inspired villa, Curry listed for $3.6 million with no takers.

After a brief stint off the market, it looks like Curry’s attention is back on selling the home, and he’s willing to unload for $3.195 million this time.

The sprawling 7,520-square-foot estate received updates in 2015, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. You’ll enjoy a state-of-the-art La Cornue appliances in the kitchen, and a BainUltra therapeutic tub now accompanies the steam shower in the master bath.

All five of the bedrooms in the main house provide access to the wraparound terraces, where views of Mt. Diablo can be found. And while you’re entertaining on the terrace, a Control4 smart system allows you to adjust music, monitor the alarm system, view the security cameras and turn lights on and off.

In addition to the 5-bed, 6-bath main house, the estate includes a guesthouse, a double deep 3-car garage, and a nearly 1-acre lot.

Buy 'Friends' Star Matthew Perry's Ultimate LA Bachelor Pad

Could the views from this mid-century modern BE any more awesome? Chandler Bing would surely be jealous -  and while there’s no Central Perk nearby, the Sunset Strip location is unbeatable for staying in the heart of the action.

The sprawling 10,628-square-foot main house feels even bigger than its stated square footage thanks to an open floor plan and glass walls.

Jaw-dropping views of Los Angeles can be found from every angle of the hilltop perched 3-bed, 5-bath home. While the home doesn’t boast enough rooms for a large family, it does offer a screening room designed for a luxe movie-watching experience - complete with a view into the swimming pool.

Whether used for hosting a summer pool party or Thanksgiving dinner with all your friends, the house is designed for flawless indoor and outdoor entertaining. Retractable glass walls in the living room open directly onto a backyard patio so guests can flow in and out without hassle.

On either side of the patio walkway, dramatic self-enclosed fire pits float in mini pools filled with stones and water. Beyond that, three separate seating areas beckon — one directly in front of the infinity pool and two under a covered canopy. And in case you want to take a nap in the master suite after a dip in the pool, you can swim all the way up to the retractable bedroom walls.

This home will set you back $13.5-million, but it’s an entertainer’s dream.

Greg Holcomb and Cassandra Petersen of Partners Trust hold the listing.

Rapper Lil Wayne Sails Away From Miami Mansion for $10M

Hepburn, History and Hollywood Combine in Audrey's Former Home

Celebrities often buy homes from their fellow A-listers. But even among homes with a rich celeb history, the Eva Gabor Estate is a standout. Built in 1938, the home boasts former residents including Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, and Audrey Hepburn.

Paul Williams, a renowned Hollywood architect, built this traditional-style home in Holmby Hills — a prime Los Angeles location - in 1938. Socialite and actress Eva Gabor, star of “Green Acres,” snapped up the 6,414-square-foot estate in the mid-’70s and lived there for two decades. The home became known for its long-term owner and, despite its other famous tenants over the years, the name stuck.

Hollywood glamour emanates from the stately, white home. From a brick paved driveway, a single red door leads into the grand foyer. A curved staircase beginning where the foyer ends draws the eye, and it’s hard to miss the enormous chandelier hanging overhead.

A fireplace anchors the large living room, which includes a cozy reading nook with built-in bookshelves. Other living spaces in the home include a family room and two dining rooms.

Four of the home’s 6 bedrooms are upstairs, while another 2, described in the listing as “staff bedrooms” are located downstairs. Additionally, a 700-square-foot guesthouse and 1,000-square-foot detached office space boast several more bedrooms, bathrooms, and recreational space.

While iron gates and an impressive facade add to the home’s Hollywood allure, the grounds really complete the picture. The 1.1-acre lot includes a beautiful backyard with a tennis court, lush lawns, manicured gardens, a patio and a large pool.
