Charles M. Schulz, has listed her

Montecito home for sale at

$5,999,999.

Set behind gates on a private

enclave, the one-acre spread is

dotted with mature palms and

tropical flora native to Hawaii.

A 1964 Bermuda-style main

house is at the heart of the estate.

Extensively renovated and fur-

nished by Los Angeles designer

Jonathan Barnett, the residence

features vaulted ceilings, an open-

plan kitchen and a yoga studio/

gym. Crisp white millwork, dark

hardwood floors and light gray

hues give the interior a calming

feel. Contemporary artwork de-

picting Snoopy, Lucy and other

“Peanuts” characters provides a

splash of color.

The master suite lies in the

central wing of the home and has

dual closets and a spa-like bath-

room. Including a separate ca-

bana, which has a built-in kitchen-

ette, there are five bedrooms and

six bathrooms.

Outside, flagstone patios sur-

round a swimming pool with a spa,

a pond and a fire pit. A custom

barbecue and bar area sits near

the pool area and has seating for

eight. Elsewhere on the grounds is

a putting green.

Ballin’ out

in Venice

Maurice Harklessfound a new

home court just in time for basket-

ball season. The small forward,

who was traded to the Clippers

over the summer, paid $3.36 mil-

lion on a newly built house in

Venice.

The modern, box-like structure

had been on and off the market for

the better part of three years. It

first listed for $4.2 million in early

2017 and saw 10 price changes

before Harkless finally closed the

deal.

Past a white facade touched up

with stained wood, the two-story

home features contemporary

living spaces with French oak

floors, custom-built windows and

clean lines. There’s a living room

with a built-in fireplace, as well as

a sleek kitchen with quartz coun-

tertops.

The second story tacks on a

lounge and office space. Four

bedrooms and five bathrooms

complete the 4,000-square-foot

floor plan. The master suite opens

to one of two decks.

In addition, the property ex-

tends to 2,000 square feet of out-

door space, including a rooftop

deck with a turf lawn, dining area

and city views. Down below, water

features such as a pool, spa and

fish pond complete the fenced

grounds.

Josh and Matt Altman of Doug-

las Elliman handled both ends of

the transaction.

Harkless, 26, played college ball

at St. John’s before being selected

in the first round of the 2012 NBA

draft. The native of Puerto Rico

spent three years with the Orlando

Magic before being traded to the

Trail Blazers, with which he

signed a four-year contract exten-

sion in 2016 worth $40 million.

A modernist

Wolff ’s den

The Wolff House, a striking

residence designed by modernist

architect John Lautner, has come

up for sale above the Sunset Strip

in Hollywood Hills West for $6.5

million.

Built in 1961 for a concert pia-

nist, the stone, glass and copper

showplace sits on a nearly vertical

slope and has views extending

across Los Angeles. A dramatic

living room, bordered on two sides

by 16-foot-high walls of glass, an-

chors the top floor. Next to the

fireplace, a glass wall and thick

stone blocks create an interior

chamber for a mature eucalyptus

tree.

The 1,664-square-foot house

has a lone bedroom and 1.5 bath-

rooms. An adjoining guesthouse

was built in the 1970s and expands

the footprint by three rooms, two

bathrooms and about 1,170 square

feet.

Outside, the roughly quarter-

acre property has a balcony that

overlooks decking and a cantile-

vered swimming pool. A carport

sits off the front.

In an interview in the 1980s,

Lautner stated that he drew from

the works of his mentor, Frank

Lloyd Wright, when designing the

home at his client’s request. In

2006, it was designated a Los An-

geles Historic-Cultural Monu-

ment.
