Dennis Quaid breaks tie to Pacific Palisades home

LOS ANGELES — It’s a wrap in the Pacific Palisades, where Dennis Quaid has sold his home for $5.9 million. That’s down about $600,000 from what the actor originally sought last summer.

Built in 1929, the home has stayed in touch with its architectural roots, offering leaded glass windows, an ivy-draped facade and plenty of wood and tile finishes. Common spaces include a living room under vaulted ceilings, a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen and a dramatic rounded office.

The movie theater, lined with parquet floors, takes in leafy views through a picture window. Six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms round out the 6,100-square-foot interior and include a master suite with a sitting area.

Outdoors, palm trees and verdant landscaping surround a brick patio and a swimming pool with a diving board.

Television showrunner Rob Long, whose credits include the beloved sitcom “Cheers,” has put his Venice home of more than two decades on the market for $3.75 million.

Tucked behind a waist-high fence, the 1909 transitional Craftsman is a classic — painted forest green with eaves and a dormer with wood-cased windows. Features include hardwood floors, a den with cherry wood bookshelves and a gas fireplace in the living room.

The light-filled residence contains a little over 2,900 square feet of white-walled living space.

The kitchen, which opens to a dining courtyard with a pizza oven, has a custom La Cornue range and a built-in bluestone island/bar top. An antique chandelier tops the dining room. There’s also a wet bar with refrigerated wine storage.

Counting the master suite, which has a walk-in closet and a reading nook, there are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

Long was both a writer and co-executive producer for “Cheers,” which ran for 11 seasons and won six Golden Globes. More recently, he served as executive producer for the sitcom “Kevin Can Wait,” starring Kevin James.

Mike Elizondo, the songwriter and record producer whose credits include such rap hits as 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” and Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady,” has put his Calabasas home up for sale at $2.75 million.

The Spanish-style house, built in 2002, sits on about two-thirds of an acre in the guard-gated Mont Calabasas community.

The gated two-story opens to a central courtyard with pavers, a tiled fountain and rustic fireplace. Creeping vines run up the side of the house, adding another layer of curb appeal.

An entry vestibule with Saltillo tile floors, an updated kitchen, a formal dining room, five bedrooms and six bathrooms are within just over 6,300 square feet of living space.

A Juliet balcony overlooks the two-story great room. Upstairs, there’s a family room with a wood-carved bar.

Outside, a covered patio faces a custom swimming pool with a water slide, elevated spa and water feature. A basketball half-court and a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen sit nearby.
