Timothy Busfield lists Malibu digs

timothybusfield.jpg When I first saw the news that actor Timothy Busfield had listed his home for $1,995,000, all I could think of was “Poindexter listed his house!” I couldn’t help it, my lovlies. Even though Revenge of the Nerds was eons ago, I still remember Poindexter and Booger.

And then I refreshed my memory (what would we do without the IMDB?) and noticed that Busfield was on thirtysomething (which I never watched - I was a bit too young for it; now I are one and it would probably be a lot more relevant) and West Wing (which I didn’t watch regularly, but have since seen in reruns; it was a good series from what I’ve seen) and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (which I’ve never even heard of nor seen). He’s also been doing a lot of producing. Unfortunately, one of his more recent projects, Lipstick Jungle (starring Brooke Shields), is rumored to be canceled soon.

Busfield’s home is three bedrooms, three baths, and has just under 2400-square-feet (according to the LAT). It boasts spectacular ocean and mountain views and over an acre of landscaped grounds. The home has vaulted ceilings, blonde maple wood floors, and custom cabinets. Sounds nice. We’re really wishing we could see exactly what they are talking about.

The MLS has no pictures at all, and the agent’s site doesn’t have the home on their site. Maybe they don’t plan to give it a ton of publicity, or maybe they just haven’t gotten to that part yet.

Steve Finley lists Del Mar home

787342 9206284Baseball player Steve Finley has listed his beach front home in Del Mar, just north of San Diego, California, for $21,500,000. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom house has a corner lot and is within walking distance of town. The house features two gated entries and a separate lot across the street, according to listing information. The Finleys bought the home for just over $1.5 million in 1995. That’s potentially quite a return, my darlings.

The house, called Casa de la Luz, is just over 2500 square feet. It was built in 1968. The living room has folding mahogany doors that open up to a private deck that overlooks the beach. This home has seriously stunning ocean views.

The master suite is on the 2nd story and has a fireplace, walk-in closet, and large bath. It also has an ocean view. The upstairs has three more bedrooms and one bath, with the other two bedrooms and one bath on the main floor.

We’re a little surprised that the living and dining rooms aren’t just a touch bigger. Although, those beach homes are crammed in so tight about all they can do is go up - and only so far at that. The master suite is also smaller than we imagined, but the view is phenomenal. Of course. Way too much white throughout the entire house for our tastes, but you already know where we stand on that one. The WSJ reports that the home has rented for as high as $18,000 per week during high season. Yes, per week. We really need a new line of biz, no?

Finley started out with the Baltimore Orioles, then went to the Houston Astros, playing four seasons with them. He was traded - along with Ken Caminiti - to the San Diego Padres, where he again spent four seasons. It was during his stint with the padres that Finley hit his career high batting average of .298 (that’s a pretty darn good batting average, folks).

When he became a free agent, he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks and stayed there for about six seasons. The Diamondbacks offered him substantially more than what he was making with the Padres. During his career, we estimate he made around $70 million (based on reports of what he probably made with each franchise). That’s a lot of purchasing power, my dears. He had over 300 home runs and about 320 stolen bases over the course of his career. He was released from the Colorado Rockies last year, so he’ll have plenty of time to run his development firm with his wife, Amy.

Rent Kurt and Goldie’s Beachfront Malibu Home

HawnrussellMalibuKurt Russell and Goldie Hawn put their Broad Beach Road house up for lease this summer. The cost? Only $95,000. Per month, two month minimum from June to September.

Well, what do you get for that tiny wad of cash? According to the listing, the master suite has floor-to-ceiling windows, a beachfront balcony, a luxurious spa-inspired bath area, and walk-in closet. The house also has a media/screening room, two other large bedroom suites, and a detached guest/meditation room and gym. You know, to meditate on why you’re not down on the beach just feet away. Or to work out so you’ll look fabulous on said beach.

Take a close look at the picture and you’ll see a great entertainment area with some serious green lawn space. And the view in the background? Spectacular vistas of the Pacific, my darlings.

The listing, as Real Estalker points out, mentions that the rental home is for sale. We’re not sure if that’s a typo or if they’ve actually listed the property. Since there’s no other price listed, we think it’s just a rental. For now.
