LOS ANGELES — Singer-songwriter and producer Dave Stewart, formerly of the pop duo Eurythmics, has listed his home in Toluca Lake for sale at $5.65 million.
The Spanish-style compound, built by Toluca Lake pioneer and designer William Klump in 1927, has a Hollywood pedigree that spans several generations. Among those to have called the estate home was silent-film star Billie Dove as well as Oscar-winning actress Janet Gaynor and her husband, celebrated Hollywood costume designer Adrian.
More recently, TV producer Mark Brazill owned the walled and gated house a decade before Stewart bought it in 2015.
Restored and updated, the four-bedroom, six-bathroom home retains its vintage good looks while incorporating a range of modern comforts. Details include curved French doors and windows, beamed ceilings and Saltillo tile floors. There are fireplaces in the living room, library and master bedroom.
A family room, a dining room and updated kitchen with a broad island/breakfast bar and Viking appliances are also within roughly 4,800 square feet of living space. A pantry in the kitchen sits behind Gothic arched doors.
Outdoors, grounds of more than half an acre include a swimming pool and a koi pond with a waterfall feature, a detached studio/gym and a 700-square-foot guesthouse. Views take in fairways and greens at the Lakeside Golf Club.
Stewart, who has worked with such artists as Bono, Tom Petty, Katy Perry, Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger, is moving his operations to Nashville, according to listing agent Tina Stern of Wish Sotheby’s International Real Estate.
The 64-year-old guitarist and producer partnered with singer Annie Lennox in 1980 to create Eurythmics. The pair gained fame with their second album, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).”
Champ is back in the real estate ring
Oscar De La Hoya, the former boxing champion and Golden Boy Promotions chairman, has bought a condominium in downtown Pasadena for $2.65 million.
Found within the Montana building, the single-story unit has high ceilings, polished stone and hardwood floors and gallery walls that run the length of the residence. The 4,150 square feet of interior space was dressed by late interior designer Joe Nye.
A formal entry, a living room with a fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, a library/den, an office, three bedrooms and 3.75 bathrooms are among the living spaces. There’s also a wine cellar.
Walls of windows and glass doors take in a view of the private patio. At about 550 square feet, the outdoor living area is among the largest at the development.
Building amenities include 24-hour security, an indoor exercise pool and a fitness center.
The property came to market in September for $2.95 million, records show. It previously changed hands seven years ago for $2.75 million.
