Once owned by Gene Wilder and later, by Elon Musk, a home overlooking the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles has hit the market for $12.95 million. Built in 1951 by prolific architect Robert Byrd, the white-shingle house is a “piece of Hollywood history,” according to the listing with Drew Meyers of Westside Estate Agency, who brought the property to the market on Tuesday.

As you first drive into the former mining town of Ashington it looks neat, with lots of green space and freshly cut grass. But many properties in the struggling area look well past their best, with one boarded up house even daubed with “peado” and “nonce” in giant letters.

Kim Kardashian’s former Beverly Hills starter home is back on the market asking $5.09 million — far less than its $5.5 million ask in 2017. This is where the reality star-preneur lived with Kris Humphries during their ill-fated marriage in 2011; she famously filed for divorce after a mere 72 days as husband and wife. Kardashian bought the gated home at 3145 Abington Drive for $3.4 million in 2010, then sold it two years later for $3.6 million, according to property records.
