LOS ANGELES — Here’s one move you won’t find on the NFL waiver wire. Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has sold his longtime home in Rolling Hills for $3.05 million in an off-market deal.

Set on a corner lot on a private street, the single-story ranch house is surrounded by hedges and mature trees.

The house was built in the late 1950s and, according to tax records, has about 4,000 square feet of living space, four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Interior appointments include cathedral-vaulted ceilings, French doors and skylights. There are four fireplaces.

Patios and decking surround a swimming pool and spa in the backyard. Terraced gardens, lawns and a putting green round out the yard. Views take in the surrounding park area and greenbelt.

Carroll, 64, has coached the Seahawks since 2010, winning a pair of NFC Championships and a Super Bowl (2013).

Heeeerrre’s Johnny’s house, on the market: Fashion tycoon and film producer Sidney Kimmel and his wife, Caroline, have listed the former Johnny Carson estate in Malibu for sale at $81.5 million.

The longtime “Tonight Show” host, who died in 2005 at 79, bought the Point Dume estate in 1984 for about $9.5 million, the Los Angeles Times previously reported, and owned the property for more than two decades. The Kimmels acquired the home and two adjacent parcels from Carson’s widow, Alexis, in 2007 for about $46 million.

The estate, on a bluff of slightly more than 4 acres, centers on a modern showplace designed and built in 1978 by Malibu architect Ed Niles. Its 7,083 square feet include a living room with a copper-and-glass sunken fireplace, an updated kitchen, a media room and a wine cellar. A 30-foot-high glass ceiling filters natural light in the indoor arboretum.

The master suite spans the entire second floor and includes his and hers bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes and separate offices. There are two bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms as well as a separate guesthouse.

Soap producer recast as landlord: Shelley Curtis, producer of daytime TV shows such as “Days of Our Lives” and “General Hospital,” and her husband, cardiologist Frank Litvack, have listed their estate in Bel-Air for lease at $59,000 a month. Alternatively, the home is available for purchase, with a list price of $32.5 million.

Set on an acre and a half of grounds, the French chateau-style home is reached by a gated drive that ends at a stone-lined motor court.

Features of the 10,427-square-foot house include marble and hardwood floors, gilded flourishes and beamed ceilings. A two-story entry with a spiral staircase sits just beyond the front door and opens to a step-down living room. A sunlit breakfast room, dining room, library and center-island kitchen are among the common areas.

The master suite, which has a fireplace and a sitting room, opens to a private balcony overlooking the backyard. There are seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

A lighted tennis court, a swimming pool, lawns and formal gardens make up the grounds.
