Casey Kasem, longtime host of ‘American Top 40′ and one of the most iconic voices of all time, is saying goodbye to his Beverly Hills home, which comes complete with one of the romantic details we’ve ever seen – a heart-shaped pool! First reported by The Real Estalker, the home is newly listed for the sky-high price of $42,000,000. The estate sits on 2.4 acres and has 8 bedrooms, 11.5 bathrooms and 12,000 square feet.

Described as a “Classic Revival,” Kasem’s home has gone through a recent renovation and expansion. Now, the home includes a living room, salon, formal dining room, English-style library, bar room and a family-style kitchen. Double master suites feature  2 bathrooms, a hair salon  and dressing areas.

Outside on the expansive grounds, you’ll find the ‘love’-ly heart-shaped pool with 2 swim pavilions, a sunken, North/South tennis court and guest House.

Love Kasem’s house but don’t quite have the funds to afford the $42M price tag right now? Well, take Kasem’s signature advice to “keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars” – and maybe you’ll own it someday.

Kelsey Grammer is making yet another change to his pricey real estate portfolio. This time, it’s the sale of his Holmby Hills estate with a eye-popping price tag of $17,999,000. Located at 261 Baroda Dr., the stunning “modern traditional” estate is located on one of the most sought after streets in Los Angeles. According to public records, Grammer  purchased the palatial pad on June 22, 2007 for $13,700,000. It boasts 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and clocks in at 10,567 square feet.

No expense has been spared remodeling this gem. When Grammer purchased it in 2007, it had only 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and he added 2 full bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to the existing structure. Features of the stunning remodeled home include a dramatic living area, media room, and formal dining room. The gourmet chef’s kitchen includes a beautiful adjacent family area and also accesses the gym. Outside you will find a large grassy yard, sparking pool and 6 car motor court, as well as a 4-car garage. Other home amenities include a wine cellar, library and pantry.

Perfect for someone who lives a life as public as Kelsey Grammer, this property is the ultimate in private elegance.

Earlier this month, Kelsey and his fourth wife Kayte purchased a 6-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion for $6,500,000. They’ve recently relocated from New York City and are currently awaiting the birth of twins, the pair’s first children together. Kelsey has an adult daughter and two children with ex-wife Camille Grammer, with whom he recently settled a bitter custody battle. Camille and Kelsey were married for more than a decade and owned spectacular homes across the globe. While the divorce is final and both have moved on to new loves, they are still looking for a buyer for a Beaver Creek, CO mansion they owned together. That home was listed for $7,900,000 and has been priced-chopped to its current asking price of $6,995,000.
