Actor Dennis Quaid put his show-stopping, Old Hollywood glam home on the market in July and now it officially has a new owner. The buyer snagged it at a discount since it was listed for $6.495 million and Quaid let it go for $5.9 million, but the movie star still made out with a profit as he only dropped $5.1 million on it in 2013. Exuding timeless beauty and chic comfort, there’s much to like about the celebrity’s now-former abode.Tucked behind a wall of bamboo and secured gates in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of LA, the sizeable house offers 6,114-square-feet of airy yet rustic space, plus 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. If the new owner is a car-lover, he or she is in luck. The motor court can fit up to 10 cars, so maybe it’s time to buy some vintage automobiles to match the circa-1929 charm of the home.Inside, arched windows allow natural light to drench rooms that already feel bright with white walls and high ceilings. Features like stained glass and wood ceilings display the structure’s unique character and invite you to melt into its comfy spaces like a media lounge and over-sized living room. There’s nothing old or outdated about the house, which is especially clear in the kitchen. Despite the home’s age, it offers white marble countertops, two Viking refrigerators, Wolf range and ovens, and a lovely breakfast room.The pool and lounge area outside are the cherries on top of a fabulous real estate sundae, but they will no doubt be favorite spaces for the new owner as everyone knows indoor/outdoor living is a must in California.Chris Hicks of The Agency had the listing, which Variety first reported recently sold.
