Encino

Dave Coulier, who played Joey on the 1980s-90s sitcom "Full House," has put a remodeled Encino home on the market at $1,649,000. Originally known as Lindley Farm and built in 1947, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, gated residence blends period details with modern elements. The living room, which has an exposed beam and pitched ceiling, is anchored by a central fireplace. The office has a separate entrance. The yard has a patio and kitchen for entertaining, as well as a swimming pool.

Once upon a time, there was a big outcry in the literary community over the demise of independent bookstores. Today, it's a different story ? at least in Encino. Residents are battling to save the community's only large-scale bookstore, a Barnes & Noble ? which, along with Borders, was once considered the bane of small booksellers. Activists say they simply want to preserve a place that not only sells books but doubles as a community gathering spot. They worry that e-books and Amazon.

Not even a member of the Harlem Globetrotters could have pulled off the feat accomplished by Mission Hills Alemany quarterback Vernon Adams on Friday night in a 28-17 victory over Encino Crespi. Adams leaped over a teammate in the first quarter, lost the ball, somehow caught it in midair and went in for a nine-yard touchdown run. It was part of a near-flawless first-half performance when he completed all six of his passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns in giving Alemany a 21-7 lead.

No. 3 Anaheim Servite (6-0, 1-0) vs. No. 23 Bellflower St. John Bosco (4-2, 0-1) at Cerritos College, 7:30 p.m. ? Vying for a second consecutive berth in a state championship bowl game, Servite has shown few weaknesses on the way to winning its first six games. Only one team ? Huntington Beach Edison ? has come within a touchdown of the Friars, who are outscoring opponents by an average of 34 points per game. Servite blocked a pair of punts and scored 41 consecutive points last week during a 41-7 triumph over San Juan Capistrano JSerra that marked the first time the Friars had trailed this season.

Update: Singer-songwriter Graham Nash and his wife, Susan , have sold their longtime Encino home for its asking price of $1.6 million. The house came on the market in mid-August and was in escrow within a week. The couple raised their children in the house and now plan to make Hawaii their full-time residence. The Tudor house was the center of their family life as well as a place to entertain and for Nash to compose. He wrote songs on the grand piano in the living room and in the guesthouse, which includes a recording studio.

Now that Vincent Chase (actor Adrian Grenier) and his pals from "Entourage" have left the scene, a sprawling Tuscan villa in Encino that figured prominently in the most recent season of the hit HBO comedy is ready for sale. Designed by Colbourn Currier Noll Architecture of San Diego and built in 2008, the one-story home combines rustic elements such as covered loggias, trussed beams, Venetian plaster and polished marble with state-of-the-art features, including a decked-out entertainer's kitchen, a media room with surround sound and built-in iPod docks.

Actor Scott Baio has sold his Encino home for $2.5 million. The gated single-story contemporary, built in 1964, has floor-to-ceiling windows, three fireplaces, four bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms in 4,400 square feet of living space. The grounds include a gazebo with a home theater, a koi pond, a swimming pool with a hot tub and a lighted tennis court on more than an acre. Baio, 50, rose to fame in the role of Chachi on the sitcoms "Happy Days" (1977-84) and "Joanie Loves Chachi" (1982-83)
