Radio Host Selling Malibu Home--She Needs Land, Not Sand

Stephanie Miller, host of a nationally syndicated radio talk show and a popular stand-up comic, has listed her Cape Cod-style home on Las Tunas Beach in Malibu at $1.15 million.

Miller, 38, hosts “The Stephanie Miller Show” weeknights on KABC-AM (790). She has been guest host on the CNBC show “Equal Time,” representing the political left, and has often appeared on “Politically Incorrect,” “Larry King Live” and “The Today Show.” A writer-host on the Fox Family series “Show Me the Funny” (1998-99), she had her own late-night TV show in 1995.

“I love the house,” she said. “I don’t want to sell, but it’s hard enough to keep up one house, let alone two.”

Miller also has a Hollywood Hills home, which she plans to sell eventually. “I want to consolidate,” she said, “and get more land, because I have two big dogs.”

Miller bought the Malibu house a year ago as an office for her Love Puppet Inc. production company. Built in 1924, the home, with 52 feet of beach frontage, includes a two-bedroom main house and an attached, studio guest apartment.

It is listed with Steve Weiss and Brady Westwater at Coldwell Banker, Malibu, and Rochelle Tetrault at Prudential-Jon Aaroe & Associates.

Sandy Gallin, the Hollywood manager-producer who recently became chief executive of Las Vegas-based Mirage Entertainment & Sports, has purchased the Malibu home of the late comedian-actor Flip Wilson for about $3 million.

Wilson, who died in November at age 64, had lived for about 15 years in the four-bedroom, 4,300-square-foot home, which also has a gym.

Built in 1967, the Carbon Beach house, described as “a definite remodel,” has 60 feet of beach frontage. Gallin has redesigned a number of houses in the L.A. area. He sold his last Malibu home, with six bedrooms and a movie theater on about two acres, for $12.5 million in September 1998.

June Scott of June Scott Estates, a Coldwell Banker Previews company, represented Gallin in his purchase.

Darryl Jones, who has been a bass player for the Rolling Stones, has purchased a 1930s, Spanish-style house in the historical South Carthay district of L.A.’s Miracle Mile area.

Jones first joined the Stones on the band’s 1994 tour. Earlier this year, Jones again played bass for the Stones during the band’s first arena tour in 20 years.

Jones, 37, bought a three-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot house for $675,000, a record price for the South Carthay area, real estate sources said. Kelly deLaat and Joey Valvo of Fred Sands Estates, Beverly Hills, had the listing, and Jill Carter of Prudential-John Aaroe, represented Jones.
