Properties run deep in the talent pool

Adam Levine is keeping his real estate agent busy so far this year.

The Maroon 5 singer and TV competitio­n judge has bought the Beverly Hills home of “Will & Grace” creator Max Mutchnick for $33.9 million and has a deal in place to sell his house in Beverly Crest to crooner John Mayer for $13.5 million, sources told The Times.

Earlier this year, Levine sold another property in Holmby Hills for $18 million.

The Beverly Crest house was built in 1940 and extensivel­y renovated during the singer’s ownership. It has 7,100 square feet of living space that includes an expansive great room, a media room, a den and a gym.

The gated property spans roughly 3.6 acres of grounds that hold a swimming pool and spa and a lighted basketball court. There are also a two-car garage with a hydraulic lift and a speak-easystyle card room.

Levine’s new home in Beverly Hills comes with a celebrity pedigree that extends beyond television comedy. The English Tudorstyle house was previously owned by tennis star Pete Sampras, who sold it to Mutchnick a decade ago for $16.98 million.

The roughly 10,400-square-foot house has five bedrooms and eight full bathrooms. There are a detached guesthouse and a separate gym.

Levine, 38, is the lead vocalist and guitarist for Maroon 5. The Grammy-winning pop-rock group has hits that include “She Will Be Loved,” “This Love” and “Moves Like Jagger.”

Mayer, 40, has won Grammys for such songs as “Your Body Is a Wonderland,” “Daughters” and “Say.” His most recent studio album, “The Search for Everything,” was released last year.

Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency holds the listing for the Beverly Crest property. The Beverly Hills home was sold outside the Multiple Listing Service.
