9 Easy Ways To Use Dark Paint In Your Home

Sometimes we have to do a bit of sleuthing to find out which celeb owns a particular house for sale. But in this case a Craigslist ad (no longer online) tipped us off.

On the market since last fall, the 5,000-square-foot French Normandy-style home in San Marino (tucked into the San Rafael Hills in eastern Los Angeles County, not far from Pasadena) once hosted Winston Churchill. Designed by architect Everett P. Babcock in 1926, the lovely home has a koi pond, oval-shaped saltwater swimming pool, Batchelder-tile risers, guest or maid's quarters, a sauna and fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom.
There are neat architectural details throughout, like arched doorways (including the main entrance), dormer windows, iron winding staircase, hardwood flooring and wood beamed-ceilings.
It feels like the French countryside, more than glitzy, traffic-ridden Los Angeles. There's a formal dining room. A waterfall provides a meditative touch to an outdoor pond. Wisteria gracefully covers the patio.
The home has four bedrooms – including a master suite – and four baths, plus two half baths. Since November the price has dropped from $3.6 million to $3.2 million, then again to $3 million this month (currently listed with 360 Realty in Beverly Hills). It previously sold in 2003 for $1,922,000.
Whether for entertaining or relaxing with a good read -- note the dozens of books on Rob's shelves -- these two rooms are versatile and in tune with the rest of the house's relaxed, Mediterranean-style decor. Photo: 360 Realty
It wouldn't be a multi-million-dollar celeb hideaway without a pool, right? Photo: 360 Realty

Thanks jo. I'd love to have a look at the photos. And Steve, just how the hell do YOU know what I can and can't afford? And if your horrible grammar and spelling are any indication, I'd say that your level of style and taste in fine homes is on par with your education level. In the gutter.
He must be broke.
ReplyUntil seeing this picture with Adam Sandler, I never received how tiny Rob Schneider is. He can't be more than 5'8" or 5'9" I think someone said Sandler was just under 6 foot?
ReplyHe wants to make a million on it in a lousy market over the past few years...Go figure! Money will go to money. He will probably get his 3 mil. If it were an average Joe selling it, it would probably go for under the original 1.92 million. Who am I kidding...what average Joe has a house worth that much to begin with...LOL (sad, but true).
ReplyWe are looking for a bargin on Craigslist, certainly not a 3 million dollar home. Apparently Rob is very desperate to sale. Rob stop stressing and give it back to the bank.
ReplyWhat are the taxes???
Replymaybe he wants to upgrade he far from being broke . he a very funny guy he'll be around for a long time . wish i could be in his shose make money like him but that life . so what i have to say to him keep up the good work.

ReplyI agree with Hattie! Rob Schneider's house looks like the Witch's House from Beverly Hills. These houses seem to be haunted...:))
