Anyone who’s ever driven through Seal Beach on the Pacific Coast Highway has likely seen the landmark water tower, a relic of 1890s ingenuity.

The tower recently hit the market again for the third time since its transformation into a house in the 1980s, and this time, it comes with an asking price of $5.5 million.

Within its 2,828 square feet are four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a rotunda-style living area with 360-degree views. Those panoramic coastal to mountain vistas are visible from most rooms in this one-of-a-kind home, which rises above the gated Surfside community.

The living begins at the base of the tower at the foyer, which features a cascading water feature and a wall of tools unearthed in the 1940s that were once used by linesman to repair the tower. These are not the only artifacts or nod to its past used in its design.

In the ground-level guest room, a panel in the wall opens to a staircase that leads to a tiny bedroom nook.

Take the elevator 70-feet up to the elevated living areas, which open to a walk-around deck for unobstructed views, from the ocean to the mountains.

Inside, there’s a well-appointed kitchen with modern amenities and dining area.

Model trains suspended from the ceiling “remind us of why the water tower is here,” Scott Ostlund, a previous co-owner told Architectural Digest in 2019.

A spiral staircase connects the upper levels, including two ensuite bedrooms on the fourth level. One features a rotating water closet and a step-down rainfall shower.

The top-level rotunda is an open-concept space with redwood beams and large picture windows.

A stained-glass cupola crowns the structure, while a compass rose adorns the hardwood floor below.

“Add a laundry room and garage parking to the ever-growing list of perks,” the listing reads.

The tower, built by Southern Pacific Railroad around 1892, originally supplied water to steam engines that traveled along the coast. After a successful “save our water tank” campaign in the early 1980s, the community preserved the structure. It included a 75,000-gallon tank that held water until the 1970s.

In 1984, investors transformed the tower into a home.

Retired South Pasadena Fire Chief Gerald Wallace bought it in 1995 for $800,000. After listing it multiple times for up to $8 million, he sold the property to Ostlund and his investment partner in 2016 for $1.5 million.

After they restored and decorated the tower, they listed it June 2021 for $4.95 million.

The current owner is Orange County historic preservationist and physician Dr. Gregg DeNicola and his wife, Mary. Records show they purchased the water tower house in July 2022 for $4.5 million.

A West Hills equestrian estate, surrounded by massive sandstone boulders on what once was part of a historic western movie location, recently hit the market.

The asking price is $3.495 million.

Set on over 8 acres, the two-story house — completed in 1981 and updated — spans 3,152 square feet and has three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling, wood-framed glass sliders open to wraparound patios and beyond.

Rock waterfalls and scenic observation points of the San Fernando Valley create a serene, park-like atmosphere in this rocky terrain.

This slice of the Santa Susanna Mountains has historically served as a backdrop for film shoots since the 1920s, starting with the Bell Moving Picture Ranch. When the original owner sold off the land, it became known as the Berry Ranch. By 1950, carpenter Tony Stimolo purchased six acres of the ranch and built the Bell Movie Ranch, a privately owned western movie set with a replica frontier town that operated until the late 1980s.

“Our land was used and part of the Bell Movie Ranch shoots and the Berry Ranch shoots,” said Matthew Witek of Compass, the co-listing agent. “There is still a tiny bit of scaffolding built into the rock on the far end of the land, where the camera guys shot the running scenes for ‘Zorro’ as they raced down Studio Road. At the time, there were no houses up here.”

Records show the property last sold in March 2009 for $1.25 million.

The current owners made upgrades.

Inside, rustic log walls, restored antique wood floors, exposed beams, and reclaimed barn woodwork create a bright, airy space with a modern organic aesthetic.

Next to the kitchen, which has high-end appliances, open shelves and a large island with seating, is a dining area.

The primary suite occupies a private wing upstairs, complete with a fireplace and “artisan” bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower.

It shares the second floor with an A-frame-style guest room and office open to canyon-facing decks.

There are views from every room.

The equestrian facilities outdoors include three professionally graded and sanded corrals, two run-in sheds to shelter horses and a tack room conveniently located next to the wash bay.

The grounds include raised vegetable beds, cactus gardens and water features.

Other highlights include a storage basement, 500-gallon backup water tank and wall-mounted EV charger.

A large garage has been converted into a versatile live/work space, while the larger of the two parcels at 5 acres offers three prime build sites for future expansion.

A post-and-beam lake house by modernist architect John L. Pugsley is on the market in the South Arroyo area of Pasadena for $3.895 million.

This 3,248-square-foot two-story house features four bedrooms, five bathrooms and an airy, open floor plan. Completed in 1970, it sits on just over a third of an acre in the gated Brookmere enclave, with views of the historic, man-made Johnston Lake.

Records show the property last sold for $1.25 million in July 2016.

While it’s undergone renovations and updates, much of its architectural character remains.

Pugsley, who died in 2009 at 81, created a glass and wood house where natural light floods the expansive interior. A brick fireplace with a tile surround anchors the living room. Glass doors open into the office, which boasts a long built-in window bench.

The kitchen has been updated with stainless-steel appliances, glossy white cabinetry and a breakfast bar. There’s also a formal dining room.

Updates were also made to the bathrooms.

The upstairs primary suite, which overlooks the living room, opens to an outdoor deck.

“From an architectural standpoint, these post and beam properties are revered, but it’s the setting that sets it apart,” said listing agent Gus Ruelas of The Agency.

According to Ruelas, it’s rare for homeowners to give up their homes in this secluded lake neighborhood.

Surrounded by a grassy meadow, Johnston Lake began as a natural spring-fed pond in the 1870s by then-Los Angeles Mayor Prudent Beaudry. Sid Gally, a volunteer of the Pasadena Museum of History wrote in the Pasadena Star News in 2015 that Beaudry’s holdings included portions of the San Pascual and San Rafael ranches along the west bank of the Arroyo Seco where he operated the San Rafael Winery.

It was there he also dammed up the lake named after the Scottish rancher Alexander Campbell-Johnston, who bought more than 2,000 acres from Beaudry in 1883.

Johnston Lake used to be accessible to all, but Curbed reported that came to an end in 1953 when residents formed the Brookmere Homeowners Association.

Today, only residents have access to catch and release fishing by boat, or the lakeside park and pool.

“The setting is super unique,” Ruelas said. “When the gates close behind you, you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far away.”

A Sherman Oaks home owned by Ray Toro, the lead guitarist of My Chemical Romance, is on the market for $2.789 million.

Built in 1942 and later updated, the 2,918-square-foot farmhouse-style residence includes a separate guest house in the backyard for a total of four bedrooms and bathrooms. Toro and his wife, Christa, bought the house on a third-acre hillside lot in November 2011 for $1.145 million, records viewed on PropertyShark.com show.

From the street, a gate opens to a stone staircase that descends to the house. The listing notes a hillside tram that’s not in use.

Inside the house, the living room has a vaulted ceiling, supported by wood beams, hand-pegged wood floors, a stone fireplace and built-in bookcases. Natural light floods the adjoining family room through two large picture windows with a long built-in bench.

The kitchen features dark granite counters and an original 1947 O’Keefe and Merritt stove, along with a sunlit breakfast area with built-in cabinets.

Upstairs from the living room, there’s a loft that doubles as an office.

A stone fireplace warms the primary suite, which features a walk-in closet, an alcove and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom.

The oversized entertainer’s deck outside has a large pool and spa with waterfall features, a barbecue area and a two-story guest house, not included in the overall square footage. It includes a living space, an upstairs bedroom with French door access to a balcony and a detached bathroom with a shower.

Other features include a detached two-car garage with another two parking places.

Gwen Banta and Craig Nadeau of Sotheby’s International Realty share the listing, which hit the market on June 30.

My Chemical Romance formed in the early 2000s with vocalist Gerard Way, bassist Mikey Way, drummer Matt Pelissier and guitarists Frank Iero and Ray Toro. They gained a devoted following with their radio hits “I’m Not Okay (I Promise),” “Helena” and “The Ghost of You” from their second release and major-label debut, “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” in 2004.

Two years later, with Bob Bryar replacing Pelissier on drums, the band released the concept album “The Black Parade” about the reflections of a man dying of cancer. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, the members — excluding Bryar, who died in November 2024 at 44 — will go on tour with stops at the Dodger Stadium July 26 and 27.

A Pasadena home by modernist architect A. Quincy Jones is on the market for just under $6 million.

Perched on a 1.27-acre cul-de-sac lot on a hill overlooking the Rose Bowl, this 1976 house built of steel and glass was recently restored and updated by the current owners, the only people to have ever lived there. Records show a husband and wife, both health professionals, bought the property in August 2023 for $3.975 million.

The house previously belonged to Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, which inherited the property from the philanthropist couple, Iowa lumber heiress Adelaide Finkbine Hixon and her husband, Alexander. They commissioned Jones to design the house on what was their 3.3-acre estate as an entertaining space for large-scale parties and events, including fundraisers.

Adelaide Hixon, who died in November 2019 at 101, bequeathed her estate to what is now the Hixon Center for Climate and the Environment at Harvey Mudd College, which she helped create in 2015, according to the Eichler Network.

The college sold the Hixons’ primary residence, designed by visionary architect Thornton Ladd and completed in 1954, separately from the party house in October 2021 for $2.95 million.

Later, the Jones-designed property changed hands.

When the current owners took it over, they transformed the 7,141-square-foot structure into a home. It has three bedrooms, five bathrooms and expansive common spaces.

“As you walk in, the grandness is striking,” said Aram Gaboudian of Keller Williams Realty, the listing agent. “It warms up as you move into the dining and lounge area where the ceilings are lower and the natural tone of discussion…becomes more intimate.”

Views of more than the Rose Bowl are visible from most rooms. JPL, Brookside Golf Course and the Pasadena skyline are also seen, framed by soaring glass walls.

A hanging fireplace, 35-foot ceiling and glass-walled hallways enhance the architecture of the home, a unique contribution to a town better known for its Craftsman, traditional, Mediterranean and Spanish styles.

According to Gaboudian, his clients replaced unsalvageable doors, windows and glass sliders and restored the wood floors. After lifting the low-pile carpeting, they discovered concrete floors, now newly polished.

Concrete floors also can be seen in parts of the kitchen, which features high-end Wolf and Sub Zero appliances and restored cabinetry. Quartzite countertops replace the original Formica.

The primary suite occupies a private wing of the house with an ensuite bathroom and a balcony.

Outside, some of modernist landscape architect Ruth Shellhorn’s original design remains, while others have been reimagined.

“Originally, the Hixons had commissioned an outdoor trout pond,” said Gaboudian, with a laugh. “Trout! My client reimagined that into a koi pond” with a waterfall.

When asked if the home was never listed on the local historic registry, he said his clients never got around to it, deciding to “just let the new owner do it.”

Roy Rogers’ former Sherman Oaks property lists for $7.2M

The former Sherman Oaks home of Roy Rogers, Hollywood’s “King of the Cowboys,” recently hit the market for $7.2 million.

Rogers bought the ranch property to build a house with stables for his golden palomino horse, Trigger, as reported by the San Fernando Valley Times in November 1938. Completed in 1939, this traditional 5,035-square-foot house features four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Public records show it belongs to the same family that bought it for $102,500 in March 1971.

While the house is well-maintained, its fenced and gated 1-acre lot in the Longridge Estates is where “the true value lies,” according to the listing.

“Whether restored, reimagined or rebuilt entirely,” it reads, “this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a world-class estate in a setting rich in mature landscaping, history and charm.”

Inside, wall coverings in blue florals on a white background brightens the entrance hall. A switchback staircase leads up to to the bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite.

Ample windows and French doors flood the house in natural light.

The layout features formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen with an open area for casual meals at the table, a wood-paneled den with a brick fireplace, an office and a game room.

Surrounding the home are trees and expansive lawns. The backyard features a large pool, a pool cabana, a built-in barbecue and patio areas for lounging and dining.

Donovan Healey of Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.

Before going by his stage name, the singing cowboy born Leonard Slye performed as a member of the Western group Sons of the Pioneers and found steady work on screen in bit parts, sometimes as Dick Weston.

His big break came in 1938 thanks to a disagreement between Gene Autry and Republic Studios. This opportunity landed Rogers, then married to Arline Wilkins who died in 1946 from complications of childbirth, in the lead role of “Under the Western Stars.”

The film co-starred Trigger.

Rogers and Trigger appeared in dozens of westerns in the 1930s and ’40s, as well as the 101 episodes of “The Roy Rogers Show” television series from 1951 to 1957, according to the Internet Movie Database. The series also co-starred Dale Evans, Rogers’ third wife of over 50 years and the songwriter behind his signature tune, “Happy Trails.”

Rogers died at their Double R Bar Ranch in Victorville in 1998 at 86. Dale followed in 2001 at 88.

Oscar-winning director John Huston’s former Tarzana estate seeks $20M

The former Tarzana estate of Oscar-winning filmmaker John Huston recently hit the market for just under $20 million.

Set on nearly 4.5 acres, this gated estate features a traditional, 12,170-square-foot mansion with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. A porch runs almost the entire length of the house, overlooking the stone-framed pool and spa.

Records show the current owner paid $2.075 million in July 1987 for the compound, which includes an 807-square-foot guest cottage with one bedroom and one bathroom, as well as a 2,775-square-foot red barn. The barn serves as an entertainers’ lodge with a full kitchen, loft and bar—and how’s this for entertaining?

A ride-on miniature train winds around the lush grounds.

Rolling lawns, koi ponds, stone paths and mature trees surround the compound, described in the listing as “a one-of-a-kind storybook retreat with Hollywood provenance.”

Huston, the legendary director behind such classics as “The Maltese Falcon,” “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and “The African Queen,” purchased the property in 1939, according to news archives. After completing the house in 1941, he and his second wife, Edith Lesley Black, grew vegetables there “before many people were ‘victory garden conscious’” and kept “a cage of monkeys, horses and a trout stream,” the Los Angeles Evening Citizen News reported in April 1942.

When Huston took a post in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and Black moved to Hollywood with her mother, the couple decided to rent out their ranch. Advertisements began to appear by May 1942 and throughout the summer, including in The San Fernando Valley Times, which described the desirable tenant as “an animal lover and a wielder of ye olde fishing rod.”

In January 1950, the Los Angeles Times reported that Gordon MacLean purchased the estate for $60,000.

MacLean, a commercial real estate developer, president of the Los Angeles Harbor Commission and former owner of two newspapers, planned $15,000 worth of alterations. He also installed what’s known as the Tunnel, Cut and Trestle Railroad that his son, Hawley, told the Santa Clarita Valley Garden Railroad Club in the November 2021 newsletter, Walt Disney helped build.

The railroad, which underwent restoration and renovation five years ago, features a 240-foot tunnel, elevated trestles, tracks and a working station with turntable and dual tracks that can accommodate steam, electric and propane-powered engines.

A full tennis court adds to the offering.

David Kramer of Compass and Paul Czako of Gussman Czako Estates share the listing.

Huston directed 41 films during his nearly half-century career, including “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.”

That 1948 western film set in Mexico won Huston his only two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Huston cast his famous father, Walter, in the film, and nearly 40 years later directed his daughter, Anjelica, in “Prizzi’s Honor” (1985). They both received Oscars for their Best Supporting roles.

Throughout his career, Huston wrote screenplays for many of his films—including “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), “The Asphalt Jungle” (1950), “The African Queen” (1951), “Moulin Rouge” (1952) and “Moby Dick” (1956)—and appeared in front of the camera.

Huston died in 1987 while on location in Middletown, R.I. as producer and co-writer of “Mr. North,” a film directed by his son Danny. He was 81.

$2.8M Dana Point home was renovated to ‘feel like it’s always been there’

A thoughtfully renovated mid-century modern home on a hilltop in Dana Point is on the market for $2.8 million.

Known as the Crowder House, this two-story, 3,020-square-foot residence was originally designed by Los Angeles-based architectural firm Crowder and Associates, a husband-and-wife team, and completed in 1964 as a family vacation retreat. It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a split-level floor plan.

More recently public records show an industrial designer and his wife bought the property in August 2016 for $640,000.

“They were a growing family when they came across this property,” said Nate Cole of Modern California House, the co-listing agent. “This area has not been kind to these kinds of homes. After a lot of bad renovations, it was really in rough shape when they took it on.”

While the shell of the house remains the same, the owners drew inspiration from mid-century visionaries like architect Ed Killingsworth and furniture designer Paul McCobb in restoring missing elements and rehabbing what remained.

Paneling, built-ins, flooring — the goal, Cole said, was to make it “feel like it’s always been there.”

From the street, the house appears to be a single-story structure with a flat roof. But step inside, and it splits in two directions from the entrance hall.

Six steps up is the open-concept space, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlook the backyard terrace, surrounded by mature trees. Clerestory windows and skylights contribute to the home’s abundance of glass, allowing natural light in and setting the warm walnut accents aglow.

A corner fireplace and wood paneling anchor the living room. In the dining area, there’s a George Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant by Herman Miller, one of several “Bubble Pendant” lighting fixtures in the house.

The minimalist kitchen is an uncluttered space with white countertops, floating walnut cabinetry, a brick-tiled floor, Gaggenau appliances and a large pantry tucked just around the corner.

At the end of the entry hall, to the left, are the secondary bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room.

Downstairs is the family room and primary suite.

The primary bathroom features an open shower with dual rain showerheads, a freestanding tub and a double-sink vanity with window views of the backyard—in fact, one way to reach the backyard is through the lower-level rooms.

Another is by the outdoor staircase off the living room balcony or the steps on the opposite side of the house.

Backyard amenities include a pool with a diving board, a hot tub, a fire pit with built-in benches and an outdoor barbeque center. It offers views of Doheny State Beach, Dana Point Harbor and the surrounding coastal environment.

Joseph Kiralla of Modern California House shares the listing with Cole.

A Laguna Beach home once owned by Virginia Woolley, the late artist who co-founded the annual juried Festival of Arts, recently relisted for $3.825 million.

The two-story cottage, located on a cozy lot in the sought-after Village neighborhood near downtown galleries, shops, restaurants and beaches, features 1,353 square feet of living space. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open floor plan with original stained-glass windows.

Records indicate that the owners are a husband and wife who purchased the property for $2.075 million in August 2022.

They restored and fully renovated the property, which surfaced on the market for $4.35 million in October 2023. It remained until March 2024. In May 2024, they leased it.

The house relisted on June 12.

Custom hickory floors, intricate brickwork, bay windows and beamed ceilings enhance the vintage 1930s charm, while the house also offers modern comforts courtesy of Gregg Abel Design and Construction. A new roof and HVAC system are among the improvements.

Natural light pours into the main living room through large windows, which frame the garden—a bricked patio surrounded by mature landscaping and enclosed by tall hedges with a gated entrance.

A fireplace with brick details anchors the living area.

The kitchen features marble countertops and top-tier Thermador and Viking appliances.

A Jack and Jill bathroom connects the two downstairs bedrooms, while the upstairs primary suite—a 1990s addition—features ample closet space, a clawfoot tub, a shower and a double-sink vanity in the tiled bathroom, along with an attached ocean-view deck.

Meital Taub of Livel Real Estate holds the listing.

The property is on the city’s historic registry and benefits from the Mills Act, which provides annual property tax savings in return for preserving the property’s historical significance.

According to the Festival of Arts website, Woolley hailed from the American South and studied art in both Chicago and Paris.

In 1923, she settled in Laguna Beach. She served as the curator at the Art Gallery and taught classes to adults and children. She also played a role in establishing the annual Festival of Arts in 1932 and continued to participate in it until her death in February 1971 at 86.

The Festival of Arts permanent collection includes Woolley’s painting, “Flower Stalls,” which the website notes “is recognized as the first artwork sold” at the juried fine art show in 1932.

A Calabasas home owned by former Los Angeles Lakers player Spencer Dinwiddie is on the market for $7.3 million.

This 7,269-square-foot residence features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and open-plan living spaces. Records show Dinwiddie, a Woodland Hills native, bought the property in June 2022 for $6.87 million.

Scenic hills surround the 2021 build. It sits at the end of a long driveway on a nearly 1.5-acre lot, overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains.

Those views abound from almost every room.

The home’s interior favors wide-plank oak floors, stone and Italian lighting.

A Gaggenau appliance suite is a highlight of the gourmet kitchen that features an oversized island and breakfast nook. It connects to living and dining areas and a full-service bar.

The base cabinets are tailored to accommodate taller individuals.

Upstairs, the 1,000-square-foot primary suite includes a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub and an oversized marble shower.

Separate from the primary suite is the media lounge, which flows out to a terrace with a fireplace.

The house backs up to an infinity-edge pool and spa, patios and a fireplace that warms an outdoor living room.

Holly Hatch and Chris Johnson of Coldwell Banker Realty hold the listing.

Dinwiddie, 32, began his professional basketball career 11 years ago with the Detroit Pistons. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard has since played with several teams, including a brief stint with the Los Angeles Lakers in early 2024.

By October 2024, he was back for a second stint with the Dallas Mavericks.
