LOS ANGELES — Taylor Swift is leaving behind a blank space on LA’s Westside. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has sold her mini-estate in Beverly Hills for $4 million in a deal completed off-market and has put another home on the same street up for sale.

The estate that sold sits on two parcels totaling nearly 1.4 acres and has a three-bedroom main house, a guesthouse and a tennis/sports court.

The country-vibe traditional home, built in 1941, has more than 2,800 square feet of living space that includes a main-floor master suite with two bathrooms, an office/den and a formal living room with a fireplace. The guesthouse consists of a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen and one en suite bedroom.

A few doors down from the estate, a midcentury home linked to the star is on the market for $2.95 million, according to real estate sources with knowledge of the area.

The single-story, 2,950-square-foot house has four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.

The Hollywood Hills home of Ellen Pompeo, who stars on “Grey’s Anatomy,” is pending sale but still “accepting backup offers,” according to the Multiple Listing Service.

The 1920s Spanish-style villa hit the market about a month ago for $2.8 million.

Set above the street on a nearly quarter-acre elevated lot, the house retains its 1923 character, with graceful arches, balconies, columns and a red-tile roof. Views take in the surrounding city and hillsides.

The restored and updated 2,456 square feet of living space includes an entry, a two-story living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, a walk-in pantry, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Pavers and wood floors run throughout. A veranda expands the living space out of doors.

George Lazenby is ready to let go of the high ground in Antelope Valley. The actor, who starred as 007 James Bond in the film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” has listed a mountaintop estate in Pearblossom for sale at $3.49 million.

The property, spread across 12 parcels totaling 480 acres, has an adobe-style ranch house with a bird’s-eye view that stretches as far as Edwards Air Force Base.

The 1954 home was built without nails and retains its original roof and 15-inch-thick adobe walls. Inside is 1,969 square feet of living space, a wood-burning brick fireplace, Dutch doors and a beamed-ceiling living room. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Lazenby acquired the first parcel, which included the adobe house, roughly 40 years ago, records show. He began accumulating the surrounding parcels after neighbors complained about his motorcycle riding. The 78-year-old, a former auto mechanic and car salesman, took up motocross in his 40s and has won multiple competitions.

Lazenby was the first actor to replace Sean Connery as 007 but quit the role prior to the 1969 premiere of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.”
