This Just In: Mr. Big Makes a Commitment

CasaSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 07:45:43 -0700

According to Real Estalker, Chris Noth, a.k.a. Sex and the City's Mr. Big, and his longtime girlfriend, actress Tara Wilson (and mother of their son Orion Christopher Noth), purchased an 1,854-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Joseph Eichler-esque modernist home in Sherman Oaks, CA for $1.445 million in August 2007. I'm sure the anticipation of his paycheck from the Sex and the City movie made it easy for Noth to fork over a big million or so for the house, and a three bedroom is also the perfect size for his family of three. I personally love the place, and am eager to see what direction he takes the décor. I hope he doesn't go for a midcentury antigarden . Until then, I'll just have to drool over Noth when I see him on screen at our SATC movie screening party tonight, and I can also look forward to his pairing in a romcom with Renee Zellweger.

This Just In: Jaime Pressly Is Moving to Sherman Oaks

CasaSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:00:26 -0700

According to Big Time, the Emmy-award winning blonde recently purchased a newly built, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath, Mediterranean in LA’s Sherman Oaks area for $2.25 million. The house, which sits on a 0.25-acre lot, boasts "cherry hardwood floors, French doors, coved ceilings, archways, crown moldings, and a gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances, a wine cooler, a large center island, a walk-in pantry and a butler’s pantry," and "a family room with a fireplace, a deluxe wet bar and French doors that open to a large grassy yard with a pool and spa," according to the listing. The property was originally listed around $2.4 million. Pressly's home in LA’s Tarzana area is actually still on the market for $1.3 million, so I guess you could say she jumped the gun on this one.

Shia LaBeouf Moves to Sherman Oaks

CasaSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:00:19 -0700

It seems as if Transformers star Shia LeBeouf is moving on to bigger and better digs. According to RealEstalker, Shia has moved into a stunning 1958 modern home in Sherman Oaks, CA, which he snapped up for $1.825 million.

This is a beautiful piece of real estate, and while I may question Shia's taste in movie roles, I'm not arguing with his taste in midcentury homes. With massive expanses of glass throughout, the 2,463-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom home makes up in charm what it lacks in ostentation.

To take the full tour, read more.

While I'm not so sure about the saltillo tile floors throughout much of the living space, I'm a fan of almost everything else about this home. I covet the L-shaped pool, the expansive kitchen, and the paneled ceilings. I can't wait to see how Shia dresses this place up - hopefully he'll restrain from hanging framed posters from Transformers.

Coveted Crib: A Lush LA Garden

CasaSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:45:13 -0800

Actors Brenda Wehle and John Carroll Lynch recently shared their backyard garden retreat with the LA Times.The Sherman Oaks, Calif., home's garden features a lovely pool, grapevines that form a canopy over a breakfast patio, an infinity pool, and native plants.

When Wehle and Lynch moved into the home four years ago, they were confronted with a less than thrilling prospect for outdoor living, including a leaky, outdated pool that was surrounded by concrete, a tall wall along the property line, and a monoculture, water-heavy lawn. Working with Marilee Kuhlmann of Los Angeles-based Comfort Zones Garden Design, the couple transformed an uninspiring lawn and pool into a serenity-filled lush garden. Ornamental grasses, Mediterranean olive trees, native shrubs and perennials, and low-water, low-maintenance ground covers replaced the lawn, while an infinity swimming pool took the place of the leaky old one.

Check out a few of the pictures below, and then read the whole article here.
