Among the features are a terra cotta-paved courtyard, a double-door entry, high ceilings, a family room with a wet bar and wine cooler, two master suites, two additional bedrooms and a total of four bathrooms.

Actor Christopher Lloyd has listed his Montecito house for sale at $6.45 million. He built the Umbria-inspired country home after the house he had on the site was destroyed in a 2008 wild fire. Recently completed, the single-level ocean-view house features a double-island kitchen, four bedrooms, 41/2 bathrooms and 4,600 square feet of living space. The five-acre site includes a pool, a spa, gardens, fountains, an expansive lawn and a Bocce ball court. Lloyd, 73, is widely known for his roles in the sitcom "Taxi" (1978-83)

Former Von Dutch chief executive and clothier Tonny Sorensen has left his signature on his personal residence in Beverly Hills and listed it at $6.9 million. The gated midcentury modern was built in 1961 but completely redone by the Danish entrepreneur. He combined his love of minimalism and high-quality materials in the single-story, 6,000-square-foot home. A small bridge spans a koi pond at the entrance to the open-plan house. Cambodian water sculptures from the 16th and 17th centuries stand in the pond.

A New York hedge fund manager's plan to demolish an eye-catching steel-and-glass home in Malibu and build a two-story California Mission-style residence has neighbors in a lather over the potential loss of ocean views and what some decry as the waste of a perfectly good house. Once described as among the most significant new structures in Malibu, the building slated for destruction was designed by architect Bart Prince and hugs the slope in a neighborhood of private tennis courts, swimming pools and lush lawns.

Producer Leslie Belzberg has listed her Bel-Air home for sale at $2.395 million. The remodeled post-and-beam house, built in 1963, retains its midcentury vibe with walls of glass, oversized flagstone fireplaces and cork floors. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is sited to capture views of the ocean and Santa Catalina Island. A two-lane lap pool is in the backyard. A frequent collaborator with director John Landis, Belzberg worked as a producer on such Landis films as "Beverly Hills Cop III" (1994)

Actor Pierce Brosnan has sold his Malibu beach retreat for $2.6 million. Brosnan and his wife, environmental activist and former broadcast journalist Keely Shaye Smith, put the property on the market at $3.9 million in 2010 while building another house nearby. The gated Mediterranean they sold has separate space for use as an office or media room and sits on more than a quarter of an acre with lawn space and a courtyard fountain. The flower boxes and hydrangea-lined pathways may have been a nod to Brosnan's Irish roots.

NBA player and former Laker Kwame Brown has sold his house in Playa del Rey for $1.65 million. The open-floor-plan house had been on and off the market since 2008 when it was listed for sale at $2.999 million or for lease at $12,000 a month. The current listing stated the home had sustained water damage on the main level and needed a new roof, windows, doors and elevator. Described as a short sale in the listing, the ocean-view contemporary includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 6,329 square feet.

Radio personality Jonathon Brandmeier has sold his Malibu estate for $4.1 million. The nearly 6,000-square-foot ocean-view home features patios, balconies, an office, a media room, a gym, six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The 1.6-acre site includes a swimming pool, a hot tub, a sports court, an art studio and a koi pond. Brandmeier, 55, has been heard on L.A. airwaves at KLSX-FM (97.1). However, he spent most of his broadcasting career as a staple on Chicago radio. He sold because he now lives in Chicago, where he is the WGN-AM morning host.

Former "Deal or No Deal" host Howie Mandel is ready to deal. His Malibu place is listed for sale at $7.25 million. The Cape Cod-inspired house, built in 2008-09, sits on more than an acre with ocean views, an expansive lawn and a swimming pool with spa. The 5,936 square feet of living space includes an office, a theater, a gym, a breakfast area, a den and a library. Along with the guesthouse are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. "Deal or No Deal" was canceled last year.
