ORIGINAL: Charlton Heston's estate has put his long time home at 2859 Coldwater Canyon, Beverly Hills, California 90210 on the market for $12.2 million. 2859 Coldwater Canyon. It will most likely be a tear down as it's an older home on a large desirable flag lot. I met him a couple of time. Real nice guy.

Ray Bradbury, writer, home, demolished yesterday. Old and new pics of his house

UPDATE: 01/22/2015: The new owner and architect Mayne is now making up stories. He said he never knew it was the Bradbury house when he first saw it on the market. That's a lie. It says "Bradbury" all over the listing page, see below. It was like that the second it went on the market. There were a ton of articles about the house being on the market. The second it went on the market I drove down the street to look at it. I even made a Facebook page for the house.

Mayne has stated in the past that he doesn't know why people get upset when he tears down a house to build a new one. He says "architecture is transitory in nature." He said this after he tore down the Bradbury house. Now he's trying to say he saved all the wood to make projects. No, he didn't. I was there. They used machinery to rip down the home. The wood was broken up into little pieces and is now in two large trash bins exposed to rain, sun, heat, cold. If he was going to use the wood, he wouldn't have ripped the home down in that manner and tossed everything in trash bins. The only thing I saw that he saved were two windows.

My family used to own Downtown Salvage. We tore down most of the expensive homes in Beverly Hills for years. We first go in and salvage anything of value like wood beams, fire places, copper plumbing, doors, windows, railings, brick, tile.... We carefully removed that to trucks and transported to our huge indoor warehouses in downtown LA on 7th and Anderson near Mateo. We owned four blocks down there which we sold in the 1980's to a storage company. We carefully stored everything in the warehouse.

After the items of value were removed, then we'd go in with wrecking balls, bulldozers and demolish the home putting that in trash bins which we hauled to the dump. That is not what Mayne did at all. I live up the street and watched this.

REMARKS: 10265 Cheviot Drive is perhaps Cheviot Hill's most important address. For more than half a century it was home to Ray Bradbury, one of the most celebrated, beloved authors of our time. This charming traditional features a grand living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, classic brick fireplace, large bay window allowing soft California light to flood in across original hardwood floors and custom built-ins; formal dining room for proper entertaining with detailed crown moldings, expertly crafted wainscoting and wood shuttered windows; 3 generously sized en-suite guest bedrooms; maid's quarters on the main floor; expansive grounds with a large front yard as well as backyard to retreat to the outdoors in a secluded environment and a surprisingly spacious basement where he chose to write daily. A beautiful property with an important cultural provenance, come see where so many great works of fiction were conceived. A tremendous opportunity to begin a new chapter in its storied history.

Dr Dre's home at 9161 Oriole for sale at $35,000,000 - Mary Cummins, real estate appraiser, Los Angeles, Animal Advocates

Dr Dre's home located in "Bird Land" is on the market for $35,000,000. Dr Dre (real name Andre Romelle Young) recently dropped $40 million on the four-acre Brentwood estate of supermodel and actress Gisele Bundchen and her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The rapper closed on that compound two days after Apple Inc. officially announced it had acquired Beats, the company he co-founded with Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, for $3 billion.

In addition to co-founding Beats, Dr. Dre, 49, is the founder and chief executive of Aftermath Entertainment.
The Grammy winner and record producer bought the property in 2011 for $15.4 million. He has worked with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent, among others.

The contemporary estate he just listed has 9,696 square feet of living space and includes a library/media room, a den, a wine cellar, six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.There's a guesthouse and a swimming pool on the three-quarter-acre lot, which has 300-degree views of the city, mountains and ocean. 9161 Oriole built in 1951 on the bird streets of West Hollywood Hills is located on a .71 acres. It sold back in 2011 for $15,400,000 and has been extensively remodeled and upgraded.
