This week in celebrity real estate, it's about the guys. Action star Bruce Willis listed his Beverly Hills home for a whopping $22 million, Sean "Diddy" Combs dropped the price on his apartment, and Redskins QB RGIII bought in Virginia.
Bruce Willis lists home for $22 millionBruce Willis is hoping for a big payout. The veteran action-flick actor has listed another one of his real estate holdings, this time the Beverly Hills home he picked up in 2004. The nearly one-acre property is listed for a whopping $22 million; Willis paid $9 million for it nine years ago - that's a 144 percent price increase.
Why the jump in price? Southern California real estate is a hot buy. Beverly Hills home values are increasing, with Zillow data showing values up 18.3 percent year-over-year. And as far as location goes, Willis' home, located at 1005 Benedict Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, is in the coveted 90210 ZIP code, just steps from the Beverly Hills Hotel.
It looks like Willis, along with wife Emma Heming, have also put in a lot of work into the 10,379-square-foot home.
Boasting 11 bedrooms and 11 baths, Willis' home has large living spaces that open up to a courtyard with a fountain. The updated kitchen has a large center island and restaurant-quality appliances. Outside, the home's grounds include a tennis court and pool.
Willis has a large collection of real estate and recently added to it, buying a Manhattan apartment from U2 bassist Adam Clayton. He also holds quite a few properties in Idaho but has been trying to dump them in recent years. Currently he has a Hailey, Idaho lodge listed for $12 million, as well as the bar he once co-owned with ex-wife Demi Moore.
The house is listed by Rayni Romito of Hilton & Hyland.
Diddy cuts asking price on New York condoListings can often make strong statements that are somewhat of a stretch, claiming a home is fit for a celebrity or designed for royalty.
But when the listing for this apartment says the place is "befitting a movie star or CEO," it's stating the truth. Considering that the home is currently owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs, music producer, rapper and media mogul, another CEO or celeb would feel right at home in the Manhattan digs. The home was also once owned by actor Daniel Craig. According to public property records, Diddy bought the Midtown condo located at 230 W. 56th Sts #66-A, New York, N.Y. 10019 in 2005 for $3.82 million.
The future star owner could even get a bit of a discount on the home. First listed in September 2012 for $8.5 million, the price on Diddy's place has dropped to $7.99 million.
A price drop doesn't mean a drop in amenities.
