Luxe Living

Jesse Metcalfe, the former young Hollywood playboy, is becoming more of the domestic type lately with the purchase of a brand new home. Engaged for over a year to his love, actress Cara Santana, Metcalfe has just bought a Spanish-style house in the Hollywood Hills, according to property records. Property records show that Metcalfe snagged the stunning home for $1,432,500 and the deal closed on February 28, 2012. The home, built in 1925, has all the original nooks and crannies, but has been lovingly and beautifully restored!

The home has a newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms, bringing them up-to-date without eliminating their original charm.  The house is 2,362 square feet, which includes 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The master suite is stunning, with a beautiful new custom bath. This very special home in a wonderful location!Hardwood floors throughout, the home has a grand fireplace in living room, great movement throughout, city views and a spacious Spanish courtyard with fabulous tile wall fountain.

Jesse recently sold his home in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $2,000,000.

Former Desperate Housewives heartthrob and John Tucker Must Die star Jesse Metcalf has relisted his 3-bedroom, 3-bath Beverly Hills home for $2.2M according to Curbed LA. Los Angeles Times first reported his home hitting the market back in February 2011, but it had fallen off the radar until now. Seems as if Jesse wasn’t that “desperate” to sell after all.

Now Jesse’s back and looking to grace a new lucky neighborhood with his shirtless front yard gardening. According to the Real Estalker, Mr. Metcalf is selling his Beverly Hills home for the same $2.2M price tag for which he purchased it back in November of 2007. As the home hasn’t depreciated, he might be hedging the bushes of a new, bigger estate – keep your eyes open, housewives!

According to the listing, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,000 sqft Mediterranean home for sale includes a gourmet chef’s kitchen, library, grand family room with stone fireplace, leaded glass windows, and exterior and interior stone work throughout. The masculine architecture gives the home character, and dark furnishings, custom cabinetry, hardwood floors and hand-hewn tiles give it a very rustic bachelor pad feel.

The private backyard area includes a stone hot tub with cascading waterfall looking down on a decorative koi pond. Exotic landscaping outlines the space and complements the stone pathways leading to a private guest house. The separate guest space comes equipped with a private entrance, individual parking, and personal yard.
