Sometimes we have to do a bit of sleuthing to find out which celeb owns a particular house for sale. But in this case a Craigslist ad tipped us off.

On the market since last fall, the 5,000-square-foot French Normandy-style home in San Marino (tucked into the San Rafael Hills in eastern Los Angeles County, not far from Pasadena) once hosted Winston Churchill. Designed by architect Everett P. Babcock in 1926, the lovely home has a koi pond, oval-shaped saltwater swimming pool, Batchelder-tile risers, guest or maid's quarters, a sauna and fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom.
There are neat architectural details throughout, like arched doorways (including the main entrance), dormer windows, iron winding staircase, hardwood flooring and wood beamed-ceilings.
It feels like the French countryside, more than glitzy, traffic-ridden Los Angeles. There's a formal dining room. A waterfall provides a meditative touch to an outdoor pond. Wisteria gracefully covers the patio.
The home has four bedrooms - including a master suite - and four baths, plus two half baths. Since November the price has dropped from $3.6 million to $3.2 million, then again to $3 million this month (currently listed with 360 Realty in Beverly Hills). It previously sold in 2003 for $1,922,000.
Whether for entertaining or relaxing with a good read -- note the dozens of books on Rob's shelves -- these two rooms are versatile and in tune with the rest of the house's relaxed, Mediterranean-style decor. Photo: 360 Realty
It wouldn't be a multi-million-dollar celeb hideaway without a pool, right? Photo: 360 Realty
