Los Angeles Times - 04.04.2020

ASUNKEN PATIOwith built-in benches and a cook station is

part of the one-third-acre estate near the Huntington Library.

Actor Shia LaBeouf has pur-

chased a newly built home in Pasa-

dena for $5.475 million.

Designed to evoke the period

revival styles of the early 20th

century, the Mediterranean-in-

spired residence sits on a third of

an acre near the Huntington Li-

brary. A fountain and terrace sit

outside the roughly 4,100-square-

foot house, which has arched

windows and wrought ironwork.

An ornate frontispiece sits above

the entry.

Beamed ceilings, hardwood

floors and pocketing glass doors

are among the details of the four-

bedroom, 4.5-bathroom house.

There are stairs and an elevator

for navigating the home’s three

floors.

Outside, landscaped grounds

feature a sunken patio with built-

in benches and a cook station. A

large swath of lawn, hedges and

mature trees completes the

grounds.

Bill Podley and Jenny Stanley

of Deasy Penner Podley were the

listing agents. Nick Small of Rodeo

Realty represented the buyer.

LaBeouf, 33, gained fame at an

early age as the star of Disney

Channel’s “Even Stevens.” He has

scores of film credits including

“Disturbia” (2007), “Wall Street:

Money Never Sleeps” (2010) and

the “Transformers” films. Last

year, he starred in the movies “The

Peanut Butter Falcon” and “Hon-

ey Boy,” the latter of which he also

wrote.

Good vibrations

at this compound

Wouldn’t it be nice if Mike Love

got his asking price for this custom

compound in Rancho Santa Fe?

The singer-songwriter of Beach

Boys fame has listed his three-acre

estate for sale at $8.65 million.

It’s not Love’s first time trying

to sell the place; he listed it in 2018

for $8.75 million but took it off the

market last year with no takers.

He paid $4.65 million for the prop-

erty in 2009.

The Rock and Roll Hall of

Famer has a thing for coastal

compounds. Two years ago, he put

his Pebble Beach abode up for sale

at $6.45 million. In December, an

oceanfront retreat he once owned

in Santa Barbara came to market

at $14.95 million.

This one is just as impressive as

the others, centering on a 17,500-

square-foot mansion with sweep-

ing ocean, mountain and golf

course views. Tuscan-style spaces

fill out the three-story floor plan,

including a dramatic foyer with

dual staircases and a two-story

great room.

The master suite — one of 11

bedrooms and 11 bathrooms —

boasts a spa bathroom and pri-

vate balcony.

Outside, decks and patios

descend to a custom pool with a

spa and swim-up bar, as well as a

fire pit reached by a stone bridge.

A tennis court, guesthouse and

terraced gardens complete the

scenic estate.

Love, 79, is a founding member

of the band that popularized the

“California sound.” The Grammy-

winning group’s scores of hits

include “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Cali-

fornia Girls,” “Good Vibrations”

and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.”

Linda Sansone of Willis Allen

Real Estate holds the listing.

in the market

Bodybuilder turned actor Lou

Ferrignohas put his longtime

home in Santa Monica back up for

sale at $3.499 million, down from

last year’s $3.9 million.
