Nerdist co-founder Chris Hardwick has found his Hollywood Hills haven, shelling out a shade over $2 million for 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms over 4,200 square feet of sprawling space on a lot almost three times that size.
Stone walls, terraced gardens, and views all the way down to Long Beach make this place an original, and the house boasts all the trimmings of shabby chic - a clawfoot bath tub, steam shower, Viking appliances, reclaimed wood cabinetry and mosaic Italian tiles (including a mosaic tiled outdoor bath). Heck, there's even a log cabin to use as a media studio.
Chris, we approve. Nerd-up.

Rob Dyrdek, whose "Rob & Big" show introduced him to people who weren't already skate-knowledgeable, has offloaded his Hollywood Hills West house for $2.125 million, about 300k shy of what he paid for the place back in 2008. The house is built for entertaining, so we're thinking he got his money's worth over the past 4 years though.
Check out the pics, below, of the 4,700+ square foot home with 5BR/5BA, an impressive double shower in the master bathroom, 20 foot ceiling entryway and a whole bunch of sun-drenched spa-like goodness.
Leonardo DiCaprio has listed a property that he's been renting out to like-moneyed Malibu lovers for the amazing amount of $150,000 a month (half that for longer term rentals). The ocean front property has a 4-bedroom main house, a 2-bedroom guest house and a third space loft with gym, office, another bedroom and media room.
So... got a cool 23 million clams? How much is it just for use of the fire pit for a few hours on a Saturday night?
Records show the 7BR/6.5BA property was bough a decade ago for about $6 million, so, even with remodeling costs the actor stands to make a pretty penny on the property. We're hopeful all profits are going to curb global warming.
Boasting 7 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, Michael Jackson's final LA residence (from which he was taken to UCLA medical center in Westwood) is as close to a sweeping French-style chateau as they come.
Jackson was renting the estate with more than 17,000 square feet of living space for $100,000 a month when he died in 2009 and, although the value being sought for the property was in excess of $38 million at one point in time (prior to Jackson's residency), the final sale price reported is $18.1 million. As you can see from the pics below, there's a substantial guesthouse by the swimming pool, and the main house includes a huge kitchen, gym, elevator and private theater.
