Hill and McGraw Sell Home for $9.55 Million

By CANDACE JACKSON


Singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have sold their Beverly Hills, Calif., home for $9.55 million. The home, in Beverly Park, was originally listed in 2008 for $14.8 million, and later cut to $10.8 million.

The 11,000-square-foot house, on three acres, has six bedrooms and eight baths, and expansive views of downtown Los Angeles. The Mediterranean-style home has a large master suite with his and hers bathrooms and comes with a fitness center, gardens and a pool.



Singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have sold their Mediterranean-style home in Beverly Hills, Calif., for $9.55 million.

.Ms. Hill's hit pop and country songs include "This Kiss." Her husband has sold more than 40 million albums, and his hits include "I Like It, I Love It." Both have also appeared in films. In the sale, Marisa Zanuck of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills represented both seller and buyer, whose identity couldn't be learned.

Dennis Miller Lists

Comedian and television-radio personality Dennis Miller has listed his Montecito, Calif., estate for $17.5 million.

The home was designed in 1895 by Stanford White, who designed the Washington Square Arch in New York. The Millers' 3.76-acre property includes a 10,000-square-foot main house with nine bedrooms and a second, smaller house on the property, built in 1917, with two more bedrooms.

The estate, a five-minute drive from the ocean, includes a pool, a tree house, a sunken trampoline and a tennis court. Mr. Miller and his wife bought the main house in 1993, according to public records. It was restored in 1994 and renovated again in 2002. Mr. Miller hosts a three-hour daily radio show and appears as a commentator on Fox News. Susan Burns of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Montecito has the listing.

James Patterson Sells

Thriller writer James Patterson has sold his Palm Beach, Fla., home for $10.3 million to Robert Greenhill, Greenwich, Conn.-based founder and chairman of Greenhill & Co., an investment banking advisory firm. Mr. Patterson originally listed the property for $14.95 million in November and bought it for $5.2 million in 1999.

The nearly 11,000-square-foot colonial plantation-style house has five bedrooms and 7½ baths. The house has a heated pool and a boat dock, along with 136 feet of waterfront on the Intercoastal Waterway. The 1955 home was expanded in 1993.

Mr. Patterson's more than 60 novels have sold 200 million copies world-wide; "Private," which he wrote with Maxine Paetro, is to be released later this month. Mr. Patterson says he decided to sell because he found a new place "with massive windows on the ocean," which he bought last summer for $17.45 million. Betsey Hall of Fite Shavell & Associates represented buyer and seller in both transactions.
