If you are a fan of Hollywood and incorporate the latest buzz into your everyday life, you may have a couple of chances of doing a bit more – say, buying a star’s home?
Recently, long-time actors Kyle Merritt MacLachlan and Tony Danza both listed their Southern California estates for sale or lease on the open market – meaning well-to-do fans may be able to make a celeb’s home theirs.
You probably know Kyle Merritt MacLachlan from his role in Sex and the City, playing Trey MacDougal. Throughout his career, MacLachlan has dabbled in both films and hit television shows including Showgirls, The Doors, Twin Peaks, and Blue Velvet. He is even connected to Project Runway since his wife Desiree Gruber is an executive producer for the show. Needless to say, he is a man that is well-known in show business with plenty of fans.
Are you a fan of MacLachlan? If so, then here’s your chance to lease his Hollywood Hills pad for a small price of $20,000 a month! The home is 2,669 square-feet and is complete with four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms.
But why are MacLachlan and other celebrities renting out their homes?
It is not surprising to hear that the rich and famous are also experiencing turbulence due to the rocky economic situation. MacLachlan, like many other celebrities, has multiple homes with his primary residence in New York with Desiree and their son. As a result, these celebrities are listing their extra homes for sale or for rent to help alleviate the burden of multiple mortgages. This appears to be the case for MacLachlan as well as he decides to lease this fascinating property with stunning views to the person willing to pay a $20,000 lease per month.
(You probably don’t want to know what that is per year!)
As for Mr. Danza, star of Taxi, Who’s the Boss?, The Contender, and Teach: Tony Danza, you can buy his home outright for the cool price of $9.1 million. That will get you a 3,000 sq. ft. home located in Malibu, complete with five bedrooms and five bathrooms plus a home fitness center and other perks. Buying it at that price will also net Danza a pretty neat profit of almost $8 million – which he will probably split with his soon-to-be ex-wife Tracy.
If you’re a celebrity fan (and partial stalker!) this could be the perfect market for renting or buying the home of your favorite celebrities.
