Sprawling Modern Ranch in San Pedro Offers Amenities Galore
If you’re seeking a home that offers space, value, and a long list of unique amenities, then look no further than 1530 West Averill Park Drive in San Pedro. This mid-century modern-style ranch, with its open, flowing floor plan, is looking for only its second owner in more than six decades.

Inking the Biggest Deal in LA Real Estate History
Although there is certainly no shortage of impressive real estate throughout the southern California coast, it appears that the most expensive deal in Malibu, as well as in Los Angeles county, may be happening right now.
Canadian investor Daryl Katz – who is also the owner of the Edmonton Oilers professional hockey franchise – is reportedly in escrow on a death to purchase an $85 million beach home. But that’s not all. In addition, because Katz is also buying the contents of the home – for an additional price tag of roughly $35 million – the total $120 million deal will zoom to the top of the list.
So what exactly does $120 million get you in Malibu these days?
For starters, Katz will be the proud new owner of a six acre, seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom, waterfront property that includes a workout room, a screening room, and the longest swimming pool in the entire state of California (which, in case you were wondering, is 168 feet – or half the length or a football field).
In addition to a plethora of countless other amenities and priceless furnishing, the walls of the home are said to be adorned with valuable artwork from the likes of Ed Ruscha and the famed Andy Warhol.
Simon Cowell Seals the Deal on a New Malibu Estate
While he may have had lot of options to choose from, Simon Cowell appears to have given the thumbs up on a new 10,000 square foot mansion in Malibu as a place to call home. Situated on roughly two acres that overlook the blue Pacific, this seven-bedroom property has it all.
Just some of the alluring amenities that you’ll find here include a master suite with its own fireplace – along with an adjacent massage room – as well as stone floors and walls of glass that provide plenty of views of the outdoor pool, spa and tennis court. There’s also lots of room to grill, or just sit and enjoy the Southern California sunset from the exterior patio space.
So how much did this new purchase set The America’s Got Talent star back?
Offer and (reportedly) sale price came to a cool $25 million.
While this home will be new digs for Cowell, it isn’t his first foray into the Malibu property market. The reality TV show star and music producer also owns a residence in the exclusive Trousdale Estates neighborhood in Beverly Hills (although rumor has it that Cowell is planning to put this estate on the market soon).
Vintage Bel Air Pool Home Offers Amenities Galore Inside and Out
For only the second time since its construction in 1953, this vintage Bel Air ranch home is on the market. Nestled within a picturesque mountain setting, this rare find neatly mixes the past with today.
Stepping into the home’s entry may seem like walking through a well-appointed time capsule, as its original owner lovingly maintained its Jack and Jill bathroom (complete with dual sinks), and galley kitchen with plenty of cabinets and countertops, as well as a walk-in pantry for added storage.
The main area’s fireplace and wet bar provide a perfect setting for entertaining or for simply relaxing, and the generously-sized two-car garage (which also includes a workshop) offers plenty of room to park vehicles for residents or guests.
With three bedrooms and three full baths, this nearly 3,000 square foot residence offers ample living space within its wood-paneled walls. And the outdoors includes a long list of additional amenities, including a sparkling pool and spa, and a covered patio.
Offered as-is in a trust sale, this truly one-of-a-kind home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac at 1080 Acanto Place in Bel Air. The home is currently listed for sale at $2.6M. Private tours can be arranged for interested buyers.
