Going to the dogs in good way

-

Actress and model Denise Richards has put her Hidden Hills home on the market at $7.749 million.

The animal activist and onetime Bond girl completely gutted, remodeled and expanded the Traditiona­l-style house during her ownership, adding a feature close to her heart: a dog hotel for rescued pups.

Beyond the two-story entry, the human living space centers on a loungelike living room with an oversized onyx fireplace, cathedral ceilings, a bar and built-in seating. Two temperatur­e-controlled wine storage walls flank the fireplace in the wine-tasting room.

The expanded kitchen contains a pizza oven, an island with seating and a breakfast nook. A dining room that can seat10, a media room, two offices, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms are also within the 8,300 square feet of living space.

The resort-worthy swimming pool is actually two pools with a grotto, waterfall and beach entry. There’s also an 800-square-foot cabana, an outdoor kitchen and expansive lawns on the more than an acre of grounds.

Richards has been on a number of series including “Twisted” (2013-14), “Blue Mountain State” (2010-11) and “Sex, Love& Secrets” (2008). She’ll star this year in the series “Vanity” aswell as in the family film “Christmas Switch.”

The 44-year-old actress hasworked on a variety of animalwelf­are projects and appears regularly on “Access Hollywood” in a segment on adoptable shelter dogs. She is an ex-wife of actor Charlie Sheen.

She bought the property eight years ago for $4.395 million.

Joshua Altman and Matt Altman, the Altman Brothers, of Douglas Elliman and Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson& Associates are the listing agents.
