Billionaire Ron Burkle Buys Ennis House

In case any of the children missed it on Curbed (and elsewhere), supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle coughed up "just under $4.5 million" to purchase Frank Lloyd Wrights sublime but somewhat bedraggled Ennis House in Los Angeles, CA.

The Mayan-inspired house, built in 1924 for Mabel and Charles Ennis, a retailer with architectural chutzpah, came to be owned by an entity called the Ennis House Foundation who first put it on the market in the summer of 2009 with an optimistic asking price of $15,000,000. The price subsequently plunged dramatically to $5,999,000 before Mister Burkle stepped in to save the real estate day with his close-to $4,500,000 purchase. A press release issued by the Ennis House Foundation stated that Mister Burkle plans to continue a restoration that Your Mama would bet our long-bodied bitches Linda and Beverly will undoubtedly cost the new owner many millions to do correctly.

Listing information for the multi-level concrete block-built mansion shows it measures around 6,000 square feet and includes a total of 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, five exceptionally detailed fireplaces, a window- and column-lined loggia that makes Your Mama dizzy with delight. The loggia frames a capacious courtyard on the street side of the house that includes a swimming pool and on the other side of the windows and terraces offer unimpeded canyon, city and distant ocean views.

A conservation easement held by the Los Angeles Conservancy states Mister Burkle must allow public access to the historic house at least 12 days a year which means that all us architectural looky-loos will get to gape at the stunning structure once its meticulous restoration is complete. Where do we get in line for a ticket?

Goldie Hawn Bailing on Broad Beach

SELLERS: Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
LOCATION: Malibu, CA
PRICE: $14,749,000
SIZE: 4,195 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: For at least as long as Your Mama has been getting dirty in the celebrity real estate sandbox Oscar-winning comedian and actress Goldie Hawn and her long-time man-mate Kurt Russell have put their Malibu, CA beach house on the summer rental market with an asking price of $95,000 per month. This year the Hawn-Russells not only lowered their monthly asking price to $80,000 per month they also hoisted their 1970s contemporary meets Bali beachfront digs on the market with an asking price of $14,749,000.

Miz Hawn started up her ladder of fame and fortune in the late 1960s and early 1970s as an amazingly ditsy dingle berry blond on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. She went on to star in iconic if sometimes silly cinematic gems that include but are far from limited to Cactus Flower, Private Benjamin, The First Wives Club and Overboard. Along the way she married twice and made a couple of babies (Kate and Oliver Hudson), both of whom have gone on to nepotistic showbiz success.

In the mid 1980s the bubbly and bubble-headed Miz Hawn–far more intelligent than her dizzy hair-brained image might suggest–hooked up with beau-hunky actor Kurt Russell (Used Cars, Silkwood, Tango & Cash, Backdraft). Almost 30 years later they remain coupled but have not hitched their wagons in the eyes of God and government. They did produce one child (Wyatt Russell) who looks a lot like his lantern-jawed daddy and who dabbles in the entertainment industry but primarily plays semi-professional ice hockey in Canada or Europe or somewhere.

The Hawn-Hudson-Russell family bunked in uppity Pacific Palisades community of Los Angeles starting sometime in the 1980s. Miz Hawn and Mister Russell still maintain a residence in the upscale enclave–as does daughter Kate Hudson–and property records indicate that sometime in the late 1980s Miz Hawn and Mister Russell acquired a beach house in the Bu for an undisclosed amount of money.

Current listing information for the Hawn-Russell residence, located along celebrity-lined Broad Beach, shows it was redesigned and renovated in 2005, measures around 4,300 square feet–the L.A. County Tax Man shows it's 4,195 square feet–and includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms plus additional living space above the detached three car garage that stands between the street and the main house.

A small courtyard abloom in tropical flora creates a serene buffer between the hustle and bustle of the Pacific Coast Highway and the Zen extravaganza Miz Hawn has fashioned from a 1970s contemporary crib. A double height entry with flagstone floor makes a grand statement and sets the decorative stage for what Your Mama think of as the very epitome of west coast entertainment industry bigwig meets the Dalai Lama meets Calcutta brahmin style of day-core.

Far be it from Your Mama to cast aspersions, throw shade or otherwise dis the needy souls of others but there seems to be something about the ugly and grueling Bizness of Show that creates a gaping need in the souls of so many who toil in The Industry to seek out alternative religions and eastern philosophies. Never in our long and boozy life have we seen so many mandalas, altars, images of Shiva and statuettes of Buddha as in the showbiz-washed confines of the Los Angeles real estate whirligig.

Just like an epic mansion appearing in the pages of Architectural Digest sometimes signals that it will soon hit the market, a Buddha statue in the entrance hall or by the pool is a strong signal that a home is owned by a celebrity or someone else involved in the entertainment and glamour-puss professions. Anyhoodles poodles, getting back to the matter at hand...

The Hawn-Russell's spacious double-height entry, with its phalanx of Chinoserie this and thats and Buddhist knick-knacks makes a dramatic decorative statement that only catches on fire in the main living area of the house that includes a living room with soaring ceiling and fireplace with massive stone chimney breast and a dining room with frameless glass doors–the type usually seen installed at an office building or department store–that open the room to a large flagstone seaside terrace.

Adjoining the more traditional living area a low carved wood table with mis-matched pillow cushion seats aligns with another set of frameless glass doors that open to a pocket garden/shrine where a Buddha statue—or some other eastern god–sits atop a small fountain that spills into a carved stone lotus flower basin and evokes aural images of atonal chanting. Just a quick crawl from the low table a sizable and well-stocked wet bar with fabric tented ceiling treatment makes Your Mama pee with glee. It's not that we love the tented ceiling treatment–meh!–it's all the top shelf booze they got up in there. Plus we j'adore that absolutely asinine table lamp with the cast bronze pedestal and the shade painted with a giant camel standing stock still in a sunset desert scene.

The dining room is open to the large but cozy center island country kitchen with dark Shaker-style cabinets, heavily veined granite counter tops, commercial-style stainless steel appliances and an over-sized porcelain farmhouse sink. Just off the entry a small but state of the art media room has silky- and velvety-looking sofas, a giant tufted ottoman and scads of decorative pillows covered in what looks like fabrics purchased in The East. A wide-screen built into a wall of cabinetry is flanked by bookshelves with carved wood Islamic arches and fretwork.

The celebrity-sized second floor master bedroom has a pitched wood ceiling with exposed beams, clerestory windows, stone fireplace and a private ocean-side terrace with stunning view across the grassy backyard to the hot sand and glittering ocean beyond. There's a large walk-in closet, according to listing information, and a sky-lit Chinese onyx bathroom with dressing table, double sinks and separate shower. Louvered panels behind the soaking tub slide open to allow those who like to sit in a vat of hot water boiling like a potato to peer across the upper part of the living room/lounge/bar area below and out a tall wall of glass towards the ocean.

Above the garage Miz Hawn–both Jewish and a long-time practicing Buddhist–has a compact but well-equipped fitness room with mirrored walls and wood floors. An adjacent meditation room with vibrant orange walls looks to Your Mama like it probably has drawers full of finger cymbals and reeks of Nag Champa incense.

The back wall of the house, a towering wall of smoked glass, looks out and opens to a large ocean side entertainment and dining terrace protected from the prying eyes of paps and beach goers by rolling sand dunes. One side of the terrace is anchored by a built-in grilling station and the other by a carved wood pergola probably antique and probably imported from a shrine of some sort in Bombay or Jakarta. Thickets of tropical foliage frame the postcard perfect view past the picket fence and over the sand dunes towards the melodramatic magnificence of the Pacific Ocean.

Unfortunately for its multi-millionaire residents and their multi-million dollar residences, Broad Beach has a serious erosion problem and last year homeowners agreed to fund a 4,000 foot long and 8-foot high rock revetment meant to protect the homes on the sand from being destroyed by the relentless tides. A few of the other high-profile peeps who own ocean front homes along Broad Beach include Steven Spielberg, Jami Gertz, Ray Romano, Pierce Brosnan, Mike Ovitz, Danny Devito and Rhea Pearlman, Dustin Hoffman, Marvel Studios magnate Avi Arad, tool and die tycoon Eric Smidt and money manager Mark Attanasio.

Miz Hawn and Mister Russell own, according to property records and The Bizzy Boys at Celebrity Real Estate Aerial, a number of other residences including a 5,057 square foot house in Pacific Palisades (CA) bought in August 2004 for $4,124,591. The Tinseltown couple purchased the property just a few months after they sold a much larger house 7 bedroom and 12 pooper house directly across the street to comedian Adam Sandler for $12,000,000.

Miz Hawn's daughter Kate Hudson–Mister Russell's step-daughter–has owned a Pac Pal residence just a few blocks away from her parents since 2003 and in March 2011–at that time preggers with musician Matt Bellamy's baby–she dropped $5,300,000 on the 5 bedroom and 6.5 bathroom mansion next door. We're not sure what Miss Hudson and Mister Bellamy's plans for the second residence are but we do know that they've already knocked down the fence between the two backyards.

Just outside of Snowmass (CO) Miz Hawn and Mister Russell own a 70-plus acre spread with at least two residences and several barns, up in Canada they have a substantial waterfront estate north of Toronto on Lake Rousseau and on they own a 3,549 square foot penthouse pad on the west side of Midtown Manhattan acquired in the summer of 1998 for an unknown amount of money.

Ashlee Simpson Sells and Leases

WHO: Ashlee Simpson
LOCATION: Beverly Hills (Post Office), CA
PRICE: Don't know
SIZE: 4,193 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Almost as soon as "singer" and "actress" Ashlee Simpson's nepotistic fame turned into fortune she developed a mad appetite for an a-lister sized mansion.

In June 2005 Miss Simpson threw down a very grown up $4,500,000 for a substantial gated estate in Encino, CA with a 9,000-plus square foot contemporary crib. Reports from the time show the vast house included a meditation room, a gym with skylights and ballet barre, a sauna and a 2,200 square master suite with a 700-square foot closet. She was just 21 years old.

The young and fickle Miss Simpson only owned the huge house in Encino until October 2006 when she sold the 4 bedroom and 7 pooper pad for $5,700,000 to a Hawaiian businessman who earned a fortune from convalescent homes. That's right, pets, beehawtcha Simpson walked away with a million two in profits (before costs and fees). Not bad for a lip synching sensation with no prior real estate experience. Miss Simpson's real estate luck was, however, about to run bone dry.

The following year, in January 2007, Miss Simpson plunked down $4,500,000 for a somewhat smaller but still gigantic 7,100 square foot mock-Med on star-studded Oak Pass Road in the Beverly Hills Post Office. The house, built in 1992, had once been owned by comedienne Rita Rudner.

In January 2010, amid rumors that she and musician hubby Pete Wentz were looking to buy or build a new house, she put her Oak Pass Road residence on the market. We can't exactly recall but we think it was listed for just under five million clams, but don't nobody quote Your Mama on that figure. By April 2011 price tag had plummeted to $3,699,000 and her short marriage to Mister Wentz had done swirled down the Tinseltown Terlit of Love. The Simpson-Wentz's mock-Med manse was sold in June 2011 for, according to Redfin, $3,475,000. A few quick flicks of the well-worn beads on Your Mama's bejeweled abacus shows that poor Miss Simpson, a gal whose once electric career has been on a serious down slope the last few years, lost a pocketbook punishing $1,025,000 on her real estate change of heart, not counting carrying costs, renovations, day-core and the fat real estate commissions she paid upon the sale.

Miss Simpson seems to Your Mama all but irrelevant on the celebrity scene anymore–we aren't being cruel, we're just being honest–but we have none-the-less been shocked and surprised by how many queries we've received about where Little Miss Simpson decamped.

In May there were rumors that ran through the gossip rags that Miss Simpson was peeping at properties in the Beverly Hills area, properties far more modest in size and cost than her previous residences including a Spanish stucco cottage on North Beverly Drive with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and an asking price of $1,395,000. She did not, according to property records buy that house.

In fact, according to two of Your Mama's sources, Miss Simpson didn't buy a house at all but rather leased gated house in the Beverly Hills Post Office that hangs over famed Mulholland Drive and has a history of Tinseltown residents. In the late 1990s the house was acquired for $1,625,000 by actress Maria Bello (ER, Coyote Ugly, Thank Your for Smoking, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) and her then man-friend and entertainment industry executive baby daddy Dan McDermott.

Property records show Miss Bello and Mister McDermott sold the house in September 2004 to Emmy nominated writer/director/producer Danny Cannon (CSI: NY, CSI: Miami, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Dark Blue, Nikita) and his actress wife Nicole Cannon (CSI: Miami, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Dark Blue). At some point–we're not sure when–the Cannon's put the property on the market for both sale and lease. Despite that Redfin shows the property was put into escrow in April 2011 none of Your Mama does not at this point find any records of a property transfer indicating that Miss Simpson leases the property rather than owns.

Listing information for the ridge top residence that Your Mama teased out of the interweb shows the house was built in the 1930s as a hunting lodge and has since been updated and upgraded. Listing information shows it measures 4,193 square feet and includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

The capacious living room has a steeply pitched wood ceiling with exposed wood beams, shiny oak floors, wood trimmed doorways and windows, a two-sided fireplace with carved wood and mirror mantel, a pass-through wet bar that opens into the adjacent kitchen, and a giant 25-pane window with long views over the San Fernando Valley all the way to the mountains that form the far northern limits of the Los Angeles suburbs. Other rooms include a formal dining area, office, family room, and an intimately-scaled library paneled in knotty pine and lined with wood bookshelves.

The large eat-in kitchen has knotty pine tongue-and-groove paneling, exposed wood ceiling, hardwood floors–that are, sadly, not the same oak style as in the rest of the house–a built-in banquette breakfast table, a wet bar with green tiled counter tops, and French doors that open to the rear terrace, swimming pool and valley views. The kitchen cooker itself has sand-colored granite counter tops, honey-colored wood cabinetry, green tile back splash and high-grade commercial-style stainless steel appliances. A fireplace with green and black mosaic tile surround is a nice homey touch to the Arts & Crafts-y but sophisticated space.

Listing information shows that one of the four bedrooms is on the main level while the second floor contains two family/guest rooms plus an expansive master suite a large bedroom/sitting room with oak floors, dressing area with built-in mirrored wardrobes, and private terrace with city lights view. The pleasantly large bathroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and mixes the country comfort of a claw-footed tub with modern amenities such as double sinks, glass and tile steam shower and terlit cubby. A glittery crystal chandelier gives the bathroom a punch of glitz and glam.

The grounds include a gated motor court, grassy pad perfect for a celebrity-style jungle gym, swimming pool, spa and dining and lounging terraces with direct and unimpeded views over the valley.

Apparently Miss Simpson is hard at work on a new album–whoo-pee!–and plans to launch a tween fashion line with her pop star turned turned reality tee-vee star turned fashion mogul sister Jessica.

UPDATE: Candy Spelling

It's official!

The sale of showbiz widda Candy Spelling's steroidal Los Angeles, CA mansion is a done deal. According to a press release issued earlier today the 55,000 square foot mega-mansion in the Holmby Hills 'hood was sold for an astonishing $85,000,000 to 22-year old Formula One racing heiress Petra Eccelstone, just as was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

We're not sure why we heard so much rumor and brouhaha about The Manor being sold to a Indian mega-billionaire Mukesh Ambani but that's what happened.

Mazel Tov Miss Ecclestone! Enjoy rambling and rattling around your gigantic new house.

Any of the children interested in having a look see at the official press release can read it here.

As noted first by the cool kids at Curbed, über-wealthy divorcée Suzanne Saperstein's palatial pile–the 12 bedroom and 15 bathroom Holmby Hills edifice known as Fleur de Lys–came back on to the open market today, the very same day Candy's crib closing was announced to the press. Miz Saperstein, a couture collector of the highest order, opted not drop her previous price and the property still has a $125,000,000 price tag.

California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom Sells in The City

SELLER: Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Newsom
LOCATION: San Francisco, CA
PRICE: $2,750,000
SIZE: 3,051 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: This may be old news to all the Bay Area real estate crazies but those who don't regularly peruse the San Francisco, CA property blogs may not already know that Gavin Newsom, the slick former mayor of San Fran and current Lieutenant Governor of California, has done sold his house in the Ashbury Heights 'hood and decamped to Marin County where he and the missus–actress Jennifer Siebel–have temporarily moved into her wealthy parents' mansion in the leafy and upscale community of Ross.

Young, rich and extraordinarily well-connected Mister Newsom–his family is all knotted up with the oil rich and scandal-plagued Getty family–was a millionaire vintner, restaurateur and hotelier before 2004 when he ascended with great fanfare and social media buzz to the mayorship of San Francisco. Much to the chagrin of the seven social conservatives in San Francisco, Mister Newsom single-handedly launched gay marriage into the national mainstream media in 2004 when he legalized gay marriage within the city limits. That gay party didn't last long thanks to various legal actions and Proposition 8 and neither did Mister Newsom's first marriage to boob-toob hostess Kimberly Guilfoyle. That toothy pair went kaput in 2006 amid rumors (and later revelations) of an extra-marital affair with the wife of a close associate.

He went to rehab and, in early 2006, Mister Newsom coughed up $2,350,000 for a 1 bedroom and 1.5 pooper penthouse bachelor pad at the Bellair Tower, a swank and soo-blime 1930s Art Deco-style building on Russian Hill. A little over two years later he hitched his romantic wagon to actress Jennifer Siebel's love train and together they settled into the Mister Newsom's Bellair Tower penthouse. Seven months later the missus turned up with a bun in an oven and in April 2009 they couple put their baby-unfriendly 1 bedroom aerie on the market with a price tag of $2,995,000. According to the peeps at Property Shark the lucky Newsoms sold the penthouse four short weeks later for $2,935,000.

It was also about this time that Mister Newsom announced his bid to be Governor of California, a candidacy endorsed by fellow philanderer Bill Clinton. He bailed out of that race in the fall of 2009–later won by old-school lefty-lib Jerry Brown–but succeeded in his subsequent run for his current job as Lieutenant Governor.

Property records show that Mister and Missus Newsom purchased their house in the Ashbury Heights neighborhood in June 2009 for $2,738,000. Shortly after that he put another shorty in his lady-wife's belly and they decided their Ashbury Heights home was not longer suitable for their growing family. When we chit-chatted with out S.F.-based b.f.f. Fiona Trambeau about Mister Newsom's house she hissed and cooed and stomped her Lucite-heeled feet about how close it is to Buena Vista Park, one of San Francisco's most notorious gay cruising parks. You should have heard her go on. Your Mama had to hang up the damn phone on that madwoman from Chaillot. (No matter what Fiona says–and beehawtcha says plenty–Your Mama is not making any implications of any kind about Mister Newsom's naughty bizness proclivities.) Anyhoo, the completely renovated but child unfriendly residence appeared on the open market on the 7th of July (2011) for $2,750,000. Four days later the property went into escrow and, according to the good folks at Redfin, the house sold on July 13 for its full asking price.

Listing information shows the fully detached residence measures 3,051 square feet over three floors and includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The residence, originally built in 1915, has a new-fangled and pukey stucco exterior but the some of the Edwardian architectural elements such as the bowed window make Your Mama think this house might have once been much more attractive in its original state.

A stone staircase to the right of the front-facing two-car attached garage (with desirable direct entry to the house) climbs to a small front porch where the front door opens into the entrance hall with old-timey architectural details smoothed out with gleaming white paint, blond herringbone patterned wood floors and built-in built-in bock cases filled mostly with the sort of stuffy leather-bound books that nobody actually reads. The main staircase winds around to the second floor with an aggressive, eye poking star burst-pattern wrought iron banister that Your Mama rather likes for its overt but pretty anger.
The formal living room, dining room and kitchen all pinwheel around the entrance hall that includes, as per the floor plan included with marketing materials (above), a windowed powder pooper tucked up under the stairs. The living room, done up with a Hollywood Regency sort of glam, includes a carved wood fireplace flanked by a pair of funky hooded bergeres and a bowed bay with four sets of French doors that lead to a small planted terrace. The recently remodeled and light-flooded kitchen–a little too open to the entrance hall for our particular taste–has bone colored granite counter tops, high-grade stainless steel appliances–natch–a center work island/snack counter, and dark gray cabinetry that reaches blessedly all the way to the ceiling and includes a bank of wonderfully tall glass fronted cabinets perfect for displaying kitchenware and booze bottles.

A staircase descends from the kitchen to the lower level where two potential bedrooms share an awkwardly split bathroom that has the sink and terlit on one side of the hall and a shower cubby on the other. We gleaned from listing photos that Mister and Missus Newsom used one room for guests and the other as a family room area that includes a double-sided gas fireplace flanked by French doors that open the room to a partially covered terrace.

The uppermost floor contains two craftily laid out bedroom suites, each with private facility, that share a small sitting/sun room. The smaller suite at the front of the house has a entrance hall with closets, luxe bathroom with lots of windows and a pair of French doors to open to a small semi-circular terrace. The master suite also has a proper foyer–how much do we l.o.v.e. a bedroom with a foyer?–two terraces, a pair of walk-in closets and a bathroom with a shower room that could easily accommodate 3 or 4 people.

While in the heart of the city, the property has surprisingly generous outdoor space. In addition to the five terraces and patios there's a fenced patch of grass that runs alongside the house. Perhaps it's only just large enough to accommodate the sort of jungle gym multi-millionaires buys for their off-spring, there's certainly plenty of room for a couple of long-bodied bitches to scramble around and do their dirty business.

Some of the home's top-notch systems include dual on-demand water heaters, seismic upgrades, wiring for surround sound and a security system that includes closed-circuit cameras mounted around the house.

Mister and Missus Newsom, it seems, have some serious real estate good luck when it comes to selling their homes pronto.

Although it's not clear why Mister and Missus Newsom moved to Marin–into her parents' house no less–and didn't just lease or buy a larger home in the city. Perhaps they don't care to raise their kids in the city. Or maybe, as suggested by at least one Bay Area gossip, he plans to vie for the congressional seat that Marin County Rep. Lynn Woolsey may (or may not) soon relinquish. Whatever the reason(s) Your Mama highly doubts it has a damn thing to do with their finances so all you people who want to speculate he moved in with his in-laws because he can't make his mortgage will most certainly be barking up the wrong tree. Nor do we see the family packing their bags for Sacramento. If we were the betting type–and we're not–we'd wager half a donkey and two scoops of beans that the Siedel-Newsom clan will settle down in a big house with a big yard in a fancy community not too far from her parents residence in Ross. Just a hunch. We shall see.

The Really Rich of North Texas: Kelcy Warren

Energy pioneer Kelcy Warren is in love with mega real estate deals.  Back in 2009, Warren bought the grandiose Preston Hollow estate at 5323 Park Lane formerly owned by Larry Lacerte.  The 26,260 sq. foot estate features its own baseball field - that's legit.  The deal, finalized for around $30 million, was one of the largest, if not the largest, real estate deals in Texas of 2009.  After settling into his Dallas beauty, Warren then bought the famous Bootjack Ranch as a second home/vacation spot.  Bootjack Ranch is a 3,500 acre Colorado ranch listed back in 2008 for $88 million.  Kelcy "stole" the 13,800 sq. foot main home and acreage for $46.5 million.  Within a year and a half, Warren had purchased 2 amazing properties that combined totaled nearly $80 million dollars.  I think Kelcy Warren values his real estate deals.  And I bet he owns all the mineral rights for the properties as well!
