Celebrity Homes: Leonardo DiCaprio Lists Beachfront House in Malibu – The high-powered A-list actor listed a contemporary beach-front cottage on Malibu’s coveted Carbon Beach with an asking price of $10.95 million. Property records and other online resources show Mister DiCaprio, who after five previous nominations finally took home an Oscar this year for his action-packed turn as a thickly bearded bear fighting fur trader in “The Revenant,” paid $1.6 million for the property in September 1998, shortly after his superstar-making role in the multi-billion dollar blockbuster “Titanic.”

This property gossip has long heard through the celebrity property gossip grapevine the house in question was occupied, at least on a part-time basis, by the actor’s mother, Ermelin, and over the last handful of years the house was several times set out for lease, including last spring when it popped up as a summer rental with a skin-peeling price tag of $50,000 per month.

Current marketing materials describe the 1,765-square-foot two-story residence as “Meticulously renovated” with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A gated courtyard at the front can be used for entertaining or off-street parking — there’s also a single car garage — and bleached blond hardwoods run throughout open-plan living spaces that encompass a living room with stone-faced and television surmounted fireplace, a dining area with wood-framed glass sliders to an ocean-side deck, and a small, expensively outfitted galley kitchen where seal grey back splash tiles set in a decoratively dernier cri herringbone pattern extend all the way to the ceiling.

Both ocean-facing bedrooms on the upper floor have sitting areas with built-in media equipment along with wood-framed glass sliders that open to a slender balcony with panoramic ocean and coastline views. A glass-railed deck outside the living/dining room provides plenty of room for al fresco lounging, dining and sunbathing along with a partly sunken spa and a private stairway to the beach.
