Barry Bonds

SELLER: Barry Bonds
LOCATION: Beverly Hills, CA
PRICE: $25,000,000
SIZE: 17,100 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: In December 2011 former professional baseball player Barry Bonds was sentenced to 30 days house arrest—plus 2 years probation and 250 hours of community service—on federal charges of obstruction of justice during purposefully obfuscating testimony he gave regarding the doping scandal that rocked professional baseball in the mid-Aughts.

Presumably Mister Bonds did his time in unabashed luxury at his massive mansion in Beverly Park—the swank gated community of famously steroidal homes in Beverly Hills—that has quietly come up for sale with an asking price of $25,000,000.

Mister Bonds purchased the 2.56 acre property, according to property records, in late 2002 for $8,700,000.

The multi-winged mansion was originally built in 1999 with 11,448 square feet but a subsequent expansion by Mister Bonds brought the total to 17,100 square feet according to the listing agent’s website. The two-story sprawler is said to have seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, garage parking for at least 4 four cars and an elevator. (Rich people just hate using stairs, apparently.) There’s also a music room, home theater, wine cellar, spa and—natch—a home gym set up. The fully landscaped grounds include double motor courts, a sports court,

Some of Mister Bonds’ nearest neighbors in the star-studded ‘hood include Denzel Washington and country queen Reba McEntire.

Actress Halle Berry aims to sell Hollywood Hills West house!

Halle Berry’s Hollywood Hills West home is being shopped as a pocket listing for $15 million. It was the site of a recent altercation between her ex-boyfriend and her fiance.

Actress Halle Berry is trying to sell her Hollywood Hills West house. The home’s motor court was the site of a Thanksgiving Day altercation between her former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and actor Olivier Martinez that landed both men in the hospital.

The home is being shopped off the Multiple Listing Service as a pocket listing for $15 million, area real estate agents confirmed.

Halle bought the house in 2005 from former “Malcolm in the Middle” star Frankie Muniz for nearly $6 million, according to Times archives. The five-bedroom house has 5,900 square feet of living space and sits on more than a half acre with a 1,400-square-foot guest house, a swimming pool and spa.

She and Aubry are in the midst of a heated custody battle.

Berry, 46, has starred in the “X-Men” movies and “Die Another Day” (2002). The former model starred this year in the film “Dark Tide.”

Hollywood Hills West estate once owned by Marvin Gaye is listed at $3.799 million

A compound once owned by “Silky Soul Singer” Marvin Gaye and his first wife, Anna, has come on the market in Hollywood Hills West at $3.799 million.

The 1.46-acre estate includes a four-bedroom, five-bathroom main house, a guesthouse, an outdoor kitchen and an eight-car motor court. Water spills down a wall of boulders and into the swimming pool. There are three fireplaces and 3,156 square feet of living space.

Gaye, who died in 1984 at 44, found success in the late 1960s singing duets with Tammi Terrell such as “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.” His hits included “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “What’s Going On” and the Grammy Award-winning “Sexual Healing.”

The Gayes owned the house in the mid-70s when Anna Gaye, the elder sister of Motown founder Berry Gordy, filed for divorce. She kept the house until 2008, when it sold for $1.91 million.

Rare opportunity to own this consisting of 3 parcels encompassing approximately 1.46 acres of land in Outpost Estates. Part of the land is flat and undeveloped, just waiting to be utilized. A private drive leads to an 8-car motor court and a completely remodeled 4-bed, 5-bath home.
