Boxer Berto looking for a knockout home sale
Los Angeles Andre Berto, a two-time welterweight boxing world champion, is ready to go a few rounds in the Beverly Hills housing market. He’s put his modern home on the market for $8.995 million.
Built in 2016, the boxy two-story features 12-foot-high ceilings, wide-plank floors and an expansive terrace/patio that spans the upper level. About 4,900 square feet of interior includes an openplan kitchen and dining area, a living room with a fireplace, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The master suite, which has a private patio, is reached by a f loating staircase.
The house sits on a third of an acre with lawn, mature landscaping and a swimming pool with a spa.
Berto, 35, has twice held the WBC welterweight title and won a bronze medal in 2003 at the World Championships in Bangkok. The Haitian-american fighter, whose record is 32-5 with 24 knockouts, in August fought former welterweight champion Devon Alexander, winning by split decision. Berto bought the Beverly Hills house a year ago for $6.62 million.
He has designs on a new living space
Adam Carolla is swapping styles in La Canada Flintridge. A few months after listing his Midcentury spread for sale, the comedian has paid $7.327 million for a contemporary-style house in the area.
Designed by architect Vaughan Trammell and built in 2013, the house sits at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac. Clean lines, offset roof lines and clerestory windows create visual interest from the street. Inside, stone walls and hardwood f loors fill some 7,300 square feet of living space.
At the heart of the home, a built-in fireplace warms an indoor-outdoor great room. Picture windows brighten the sky-lit dining room under vaulted ceilings. Other highlights include a step-down living room, a centerisland kitchen, a movie theater, a gym and a wine cellar. A dumbwaiter serves all three floors, which hold five bedrooms and six bathrooms Outside, the nearly one-acre property includes an infinity-edge swimming pool and spa, two fire pits and a grill.
In addition to his popular podcast, “The Adam Carolla Show,” the 54-year-old Carolla has appeared on “The Man Show” and “Catch a Contractor.” From 1995 to 2006, he co-hosted the syndicated radio show “Loveline.”
