Happily, the intersection of L.A.âs real estate market and its entertainment industry can always supply a needed distraction. The same with pro sports â even when no one is on the field. This weekâs residential players include a mega-musician, actors and sports figures.
Our [Home of the Week]( a 1920s English Tudor Revival-style residence in Los Feliz that underwent a two-year restoration. Yes, you could say the place has come roaring back. Handsome brickwork and a conical turret known as a witchâs cap add to the curb appeal. Inside the 8,900-square-foot home, listed at $8.195 million, is a speakeasy-style bar.

Taking their acts elsewhere
Actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are hoping to sell their [Beverly Hills home]( of the last six years, listing the East Coast-inspired traditional for $13.995 million.

A covered patio extends off the back of the home, descending to a grassy yard with a swimming pool, spa and grill.

Tailback finds the end zone
Former NFL tailback turned college football analyst Reggie Bush has sold his [Pacific Palisades home]( of about six years for $7.381 million.
Completely renovated during Bushâs stay, the striking contemporary home of about 7,500 square feet features blackout curtains and a drop-down projection screen in the living room to transform the space into a home theater. A multi-room master suite, which has a wraparound terrace, is among the five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
The three-quarter-acre property contains an infinity-edge swimming pool, a fire pit and a built-in barbecue.
Bush, 35, played for the Saints, the Dolphins, the Lions, the 49ers and the Bills during 11 pro seasons. Last year, he was hired by Fox Sports as a college football studio analyst, joining former USC teammate Matt Leinart, among others.

Cutting another tie
Five years after their separation, singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger have sold their marital home. The [Sherman Oaks mansion]( just traded hands for $5 million, or $400,000 less than the pair paid for it shortly before separating in 2015.
The more than 10,000 square feet of living space includes six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a family room under coffered ceilings and a movie theater perched above the three-car garage.
Lawn separates a sports court from a saltwater swimming pool and spa in the backyard.
Lavigne found stardom when she was just 17 with her 2002 debut album âLet Go,â which featured the hits âComplicatedâ and âSk8er Boi.â The 35-year-old has released six studio albums including 2019âs âHead Above Water.â
Kroeger, 45, is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the rock band Nickelback. Since forming in 1995, the group has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide with hits including âHow You Remind Me,â âPhotographâ and âRockstar.â

Malibuâs Wild, Wild West
The [Malibu home]( of Robert Conrad, the actor known for his popular roles on the 1960s shows âHawaiian Eyeâ and âThe Wild, Wild West,â is coming to market for $5.195 million.
Conrad, who died in February at 84, bought the ocean-view property in 2011 for $1.35 million and reimagined the existing 1970s residence into a light-filled contemporary. The house faces a stretch of beach where the actor learned to surf in the 1950s.
The two-story house has high ceilings, walls of glass and a wraparound balcony that extends the living space outdoors. The 3,765-square-foot floor plan includes a two-story living room, four bedrooms and five bathrooms.
A saltwater swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a beach volleyball court and a putting green fill out the three-quarter acre property.
Conrad, known for performing his own stunts, became an overnight star after âHawaiian Eyeâ debuted in 1959 and cemented his status in the â60s as star of âThe Wild, Wild West.â

From the archives
Thirty years ago, fresh off the $75-million debut of his new film âAnother 48 Hrs.,â box-office star Eddie Murphy put his Benedict Canyon home up for sale at $9 million. Murphy, who bought the place in the â80s from Cher, was concerned with privacy and security when he listed the 10,000-square-foot Moroccan villa. The comedian eventually sold the place and now resides in a 10-bedroom, 17-bathroom mega-mansion in guard-gated Beverly Park.
Many are familiar with La Casa Pacifica, the San Clemente estate used by President Richard M. Nixon as his Western White House, which listed for sale a few years ago for $75 million (and was more recently priced at $57.5 million). But 20 years ago, it was Nixonâs former home in Trousdale that was providing column fodder. The 1.5-acre estate is where Nixon and wife Pat lived in the early â60s when he ran for governor, and had recently sold for about $2.7 million.
Ten years ago, Oscar-winning actress Penelope Cruz was playing the part of a home seller after listing her Sunset Strip-area home for sale at $3.695 million. The exotic one-story was described as having intricately carved entry doors, bamboo floors and French doors along the back.

âAt Home With Tiger Woodsâ gives viewers a look at his fabled outdoor short-game area, his club graveyard, his two dogs and more at his Jupiter Island, Fla., residence. The pro golf champ also has a âregularâ office full of family photos, trophies and other memorabilia, notes [Golf Digest]( in an exclusive 13-part series.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, recently listed their renovated Bloomfield Hills, Mich., home for sale at $6.5 million. [USA Today]( talked to the custom home builder who spent nearly two years getting to know the Staffords while they gutted the old house and added 3,000 square feet, including an entirely new second floor. Among features is a 600-bottle wine room. âThe ceiling of that wine room is all glass thatâs looking up into the dining room,â builder Anthony Bosco said. âItâs pretty wild.â
