LOS ANGELES — Cindy Crawford has gone shopping on L.A.’s Westside.

The supermodel and her husband, businessman Rande Gerber, have bought a Beverly Hills home from OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and his wife, Genevieve, for $11.625 million.

Tedder and his wife worked with Alvarez Morris Architectural Studio to restore and expand the 1959 house, which was once owned by film producer Gregory Goodman. A bedroom and family room were added to the floor plan; the bathrooms, fixtures and systems were updated. The original carport was replaced with a three-car garage.

The midcentury-modern-style house has 5,386 square feet of living space that includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a center-island kitchen and a banquet-sized dining room set behind ornamental screen doors. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace/wet bar serves as a partition in the living room.

A pool and spa, a fire pit and a covered barbecue station, mature trees and lawn make up grounds of about an acre. A motor court sits beyond the gated front entrance.

It’s a pretty little listing: “Pretty Little Liars” producer I. Marlene King has listed her home above Sunset Strip in Hollywood Hills West for sale at $4.495 million.

Built in 1921, the traditional-style house sits up from the street and features a circular portico supported by thick columns. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house includes a central hall that opens to a living room with a brick fireplace and built-ins. A sunlit study/den sits off the living room.

A formal dining room, an updated kitchen, a breakfast room and a family/media room also lie within more than 3,500 square feet of living space. The master suite features a glass-enclosed shower and a claw-foot soaking tub.

Hedges and specimen trees surround a swimming pool in the backyard. Decking, patios and an outdoor dining room fill out the grounds. There’s also a detached two-car garage with additional flex space.

Small, but with lots of frills: Oscar-winning actress Faye Dunaway has sold her condominium in West Hollywood for $600,000, which was $5,000 above her asking price.

The 800-square-foot condo in a full-service building hit the market in July and sold in about a month, records show.

Extensively updated during Dunaway’s ownership, the one-bedroom, two-bathroom unit centers on a chef’s kitchen outfitted with European hardware and a marble backsplash. A built-in bar area with a wine chiller sits behind the center island/breakfast bar.

Other features of note include porcelain tile floors, glass-globe sconces and high ceilings. The living room, which is wired for a movie projector, has glass doors that open to a private and screened patio.

Costumer takes a little bit off: Hollywood costume designer Susan Chevalier has dropped the price on her Venice beach house to $8.55 million, down from $9.245 million earlier this year.

The 3,023-square-foot compound, roughly 50 steps from the beach, has gained a star quality of its own over the last four decades.Oliver Stone shot a portion of his 1991 film “The Doors” on the property, and the home has starred in commercials and television shows such as “Nip/Tuck.”
