LOS ANGELES — Trevor Noah, host of “The Daily Show,” has shelled out $20.5million for an eye-catching estate in Bel-Air, according to sources not authorized to comment on the deal.
Set on a 1.31-acre promontory lot, the 10,044-square-foot home is entered through a pivoting front door made of paneled wood. Polished glass, leathered marble and limestone accent the open-concept floor plan.
In addition to five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the contemporary house contains a chandelier-topped dining area, a double-island kitchen and a wet bar with a 500-gallon aquarium. Pocketing doors connect two living rooms to the backyard.
On the corner of the second story, the 2,200-square-foot master suite takes in city views through walls of glass and a wraparound balcony. Amenities such as a wine cellar, a movie theater, a cigar room, a cabana and a three-car auto gallery fill out the rest of the house.
Lawn abuts a 62-foot swimming pool with a cantilevered edge.
A native of South Africa, Noah has found success in comedy and television. After joining “The Daily Show” as a correspondent in 2014, he succeeded Jon Stewart as host the following year and inked a five-year extension in 2017.
The oceanfront estate of late actor Jim Nabors, known for his role as television character Gomer Pyle, has sold in Hawaii for $12 million, or $2.888 million less than the asking price.
Located on the shores of Honolulu’s Ke’ahamoe Bay, the estate centers on a plantation-style home of nearly 5,900 square feet. Built in 1950, the two-story house has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a second-story living room that opens to a covered lanai.
A guest suite with an additional bedroom and bath is on the first floor and has a covered lounge area that opens directly to the swimming pool. Across from the pool is a cabana with a wet bar.
Dotted with tall palms and tropical landscaping, the Diamond Head property has 170 feet of beach frontage.
Nabors, who died in 2017 at 87, bought the ocean-view property in 1992, records show.
The accomplished singer and actor was one of television’s most beloved personalities in the 1960s, playing the lovably naive Pyle on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Gomer Pyle, USMC.”
It appears Cher found someone in the housing market — to borrow from the title of her 1987 hit song.
The singer and actress has sold a home in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for slightly more than $2.07 million.
The country English-style house, built in 1957, sits on more than half an acre of grounds with mature trees, decking and a meditation area. A koi pond is fed by a man-made waterfall.
Inside, the two-story has about 3,100 square feet of living space, reclaimed wood floors and exposed beams. A breakfast booth adjoins the eat-in kitchen.
