This stunning single-story home near San Francisco was acquired by actor and comedian, Robin Williams back in 2008 and he reportedly paid just over $4 million (£3m) for it. The Mrs Doubtfire star, who sadly passed away in 2014, left the property to his wife, Susan Williams, who has owned it ever since. Now the beautiful Mediterranean-inspired house is up for sale with Compass for $7.25 million (£5.5m).

Located on the waterfront of Paradise Cay in northern California, the property is just 15 miles from San Francisco and oozes contemporary appeal. Luxurious both inside and out, the spacious exterior deck, with its stunning pool overlooking the bay, is the only place you'll want to be. Built in 1987 and spanning over 6,500 square feet, this spectacular family home is just waiting to be snapped up.

Inside, the property blends coastal decor with modern touches for a chic and stylish finish. There are six large bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a den, a media room, a guest suite, and a library. Outside you'll also find over a quarter of an acre of surrounding land. We'd love to be able to wake up here every morning, soaking up the spectacular views across San Francisco Bay!

The office is perhaps the most enticing space in the house, thanks to a roaring centralised fireplace and elegant timber panelling. Elsewhere, the kitchen is fit for a master cook, thanks to its breakfast room, double oven, stone island, and walk-in pantry.

With an open-plan layout, the property offers an adjoining lounge and a dining room, each with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, which lead out directly onto the external deck. In fact, you can step straight from the living room into the swimming pool. Outside, you'll also find built-in racks for kayaks and paddleboards, so you can truly make the most of the home's direct access to the bay beyond!

First up, Mad Men actor Christina Hendricks has placed her elegant Manhattan condo on the market, following her split from actor husband, Geoffrey Arend, of 500 Days of Summer fame. The celebrity couple announced their separation via Instagram in November 2019 and are selling their beautiful pre-war condo, which can be found on 56th Street in the heart of Hell's Kitchen. Let's go inside...

The couple purchased the pad almost five years ago for $1.2 million (£915k) and spent a lot of time and money updating the 1930s apartment. Covering 797 square feet, it features just one bedroom and one bathroom, which makes it surprisingly compact for celebrity real estate but still a fabulous New York base.

The mid-floor property benefits from a quiet position overlooking the building's communal landscaped courtyard, while extensive windows allow plenty of natural light to filter in. Despite undergoing a thorough makeover, the modern apartment also boasts plenty of elegant period touches, including original wood-burning fireplaces, natural oak floors, and Art Deco cabinetry. The bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet – essential in a small city apartment.

The period apartment offers an elegant 23-foot long living/dining room, complete with antique crystal sconces, custom-crafted cabinets and a carved wood mantelpiece. The kitchen sits at one end and is small but stylish, with smart stainless steel appliances, a five-burner stove, floor-to-ceiling storage units, and an iconic checkered marble floor. There's also a separate office – the perfect spot for working from home.

The building's award-winning English Tea gardens feature a fountain and plenty of seating for quiet moments of reflection. As well as all this, the lucky new owner of this property will also gain a full-time doorman and access to a billiards room, a library, a private dining room, and two rooftop sundecks for soaking up the Manhattan skyline. Listed for sale with Halstead Real Estate for $1.25 million (£952k), this is one celebrity pad that could well be within reach! 

Former Disney star Debby Ryan is about to move in with her fiance, Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun. In preparation, the actor has now listed her ultra-cool Hollywood Hills retreat with The Agency for $1.499 million (£1.142m). This property gives you plenty of bang for your buck! Tucked away on a quiet street overlooking the Cahuenga Pass, this Californian crib is as private as it is enticing.

Ryan, who plays the lead character in popular Netflix series Insatiable, bought the property five years ago for just shy of $1.2 million (£915k). Covering 1,664 square feet, the L.A. pad offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as extensive views over the Hollywood Hills. Chic and stylish, there is also something quite retro about this home, which dates back to the 1940s.

The light and airy house boasts a blend of contemporary decor and original touches, including natural hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. Move-in ready, the modern house has two living areas and an open-plan kitchen that's perfect for entertaining.

The two-story cottage also comes with a detached one-bedroom guesthouse for when your friends and family come to visit. There's also a private parking zone, with space for three cars, which is carefully concealed behind a secure remote-controlled gate.

We can't think of anything better than snuggling up around this outdoor firepit on the oversized rear balcony. Take in the glittering skyline of Los Angeles – including views of Studio City and Universal Studios – and play a Hollywood icon without having to leave the house. Those not wanting to make the full commitment can enjoy a trial run, since the property is also available to rent for a staggering $7,000 (£5331) per month.

Situated in the gated Bell Canyon community in the Simi Hills, Los Angeles, this sprawling Tudor-style home belongs to former NBA all-star, Shaquille O’Neal. For sale with Compass for $2.5 million (£1.9m), this pad is surprisingly large and luxurious, considering its relatively low asking price. Let's venture inside...

Also known as "Shaq", the retired American basketball player has been through his fair share of houses. In fact, he only purchased this pad a year and a half ago for $1.82 million (£1.38m)! Built in 1990, the contemporary house channels Tudor design on the exterior but inside it's all about modern glamour. Just look at the two-storey foyer, with its dazzling white finish, porcelain flooring, and sweeping staircase!

There's a stunning formal living room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and a grand chef's kitchen that every foodie will adore – think marble countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances throughout – plus, there's plenty of room for hosting lavish dinner parties in this seemingly endless space!

With 5,217 square feet of interior space, the prestigious pad also boasts five large bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Unlike some of the star's other purchases, this one doesn't feature a basketball court but there is a wine closet, a wet bar and a luxury home movie theatre. If all this wasn't enough, almost every room also benefits from attractive mountain views.

The grand master bedroom is as big as some apartments, with its own sitting area, dual walk-in closets, two rainforest showers and a Jacuzzi tub. Outside, you'll also find an acre of manicured land, a heated pool, a hot tub, and a fire pit, while the estate's community facilities include a state-of-the-art gym and numerous tennis courts. There's even parking for up to 14 cars. What more could you possibly need?

Rock 'n' Roll legend Michael McDonald, of The Doobie Brothers fame, has placed his Hawaiian hideaway on the market. We're not sure why he's selling the beautiful property, which enjoys endless coastal views, but it could have something to do with his upcoming tour. The band are about to embark on a 30-city tour of North America, in celebration of their 50th anniversary.

In complete contrast to Shaquille O’Neal's glitzy mansion, Michael McDonald's home is understated and traditional. Lying in Lahaina, Maui, the house is less than five minutes' drive from Launiupoko Beach Park, where you can enjoy sunbathing, swimming and watersports. Sitting on a two-acre lot, the holiday retreat benefits from wonderful West Maui Mountains panorama, thanks to its extensive windows.

Built in 2000, the contemporary home is simple yet stylish with large rooms and modern appliances. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while authentic granite, maple cabinets, and crown mouldings make the kitchen a chef's paradise! Throughout you'll also find cherry wood floors, too.

With 1709 square feet of interior space, the master bedroom is idyllic and opens up onto an attractive exterior veranda with ocean vistas. At the bottom of the garden, you'll also find a stand-alone two-bedroom cottage, which would make for a dream vacation rental and could generate income for the new owner.

For sale with Maui Earth Realty for $3.85 million (£2.9m), the Hawaiian house also offers an expansive plantation-style covered porch and a 70-foot long swimming pool. The garden is also home to coconut palms, mango trees and a small workshop finished with travertine floors and many custom features – offering the perfect opportunity to create another additional holiday rental close to the ocean or as a space to pursue your hobbies in paradise.

Usually found behind the camera, TV fans will know Jonathan Littman from some of the incredibly successful shows he's produced, including CSI: Miami and Lucifer. In fact, Littman's home even has a television connection and savvy Entourage fans will recognise this pad as Ari Gold's mansion in the hit series! Let's take a closer look...

Located in Encino, California, the prestigious property stands proud at 9,279 square feet. With seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, this home really is fit for a VIP. Sitting behind secure wooden gates, the estate features an extensive courtyard out front, as well as more than three-quarters of an acre of land. The 10-time Emmy-winning producer bought the mansion almost a decade ago for $4.2 million (£3.2m) and was listed for sale with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices for $5.499 million (£4.2m). 

While the outside oozes traditional Italian appeal, thanks to its Tuscan-inspired stone and stucco facade the interior is warm and sophisticated with dark wooden decor and sleek furnishings. Every space is refined and high-end, from the climate-controlled wine cellar to the breakfast room. The library is one of the finest spaces, with a roaring fire and a stunning coffered ceiling – the perfect spot to curl up with a book.

Covering a single floor, the cool crib benefits from vaulted ceilings in many of the main living spaces. The Great Room features a double-island gourmet kitchen at one end and a stunning family room at the other. The impressive zone also boasts a massive wood-burning fireplace, a 22-foot ceiling with exposed trusses and walnut flooring. French doors also lead to a 2,000-square-foot covered veranda, for the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

The luxurious master suite is a private oasis, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and a dramatic four-poster bed. There's also smart home technology throughout, two powder rooms, a media room, a gym, an office and a four-car garage. For visitors, the guest wing and children's wing means there's plenty of space (and privacy) for everyone. This amazing house is currently under offer (correct at time of publishing), so a quick sale may well be on the cards.

Sister Act fans will relish the opportunity to have a snoop around actor Whoopi Goldberg's former home. Situated in the prestigious Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles, the home spans 7,039 square feet of interior space and sits on over half an acre of land. Dating back to 1933, the regal estate is both modern and timeless. 

Strangely, this is the second time the house has changed hands in as many years. In 2018, Whoopi sold the Art Deco pad for $8.8 million (£6.7m) and now it's back on the market with Compass, for $9.595 million (£7.3m)! Despite the new owners doing very little in the way of renovations, they're set to make a profit of almost $1 million.

The home's price tag can be put down to it being located on one of the area's most coveted streets – plus, it's seen an array of celebrity owners over the years, including author Vicki Baum and English actor David Niven. While the exterior oozes VIP appeal, the interior isn't bad either! Open-plan, bright and airy, the property boasts plenty of glazing and natural light, while every window looks onto its enchanting garden.

The interior blends modern design with original elements, such as black and white checkered floor tiles, crown mouldings and marble fireplaces. There are also five ensuite bedrooms and seven bathrooms, meaning there'll always be plenty of space for guests. If all this wasn't enough, there's even a vintage pub, making this celeb crib truly one of a kind!

Built in the 'Streamline Moderne' style, the house comes with 217 feet of frontage along the Palisades Riviera, meaning almost every window enjoys coastal scenery. Enclosed by lush landscaping and mature trees, the property also features an outdoor swimming pool, a three-car garage and a stand-alone guest house with its own private entrance.

American record executive and former X Factor USA judge, L.A. Reid is selling his Bel Air estate through Hilton & Hyland, for a staggering $22.9 million (£17.5m). L.A. has written and produced for the likes of Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West, so it's no wonder that he has plenty of spare cash for such a swish pad! 

L.A. bought the house brand new almost four years ago, paying a little under $18 million (£13.8m) for the privilege, and this contemporary gem is every home lover's fantasy. The music mogul was recently dismissed from his post as the CEO of Epic Records, so perhaps he is looking to downsize?

Covering 11,246 square feet, it has seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms. The property also benefits from being located in the heart of Bel Air, surrounded by the glistening mansions that sit on the hillside above Beverly Hills – which means every window looks onto a picturesque landscape.

Throughout the open-plan home, you will find polished stone floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding walls, which help to make the interior highly flexible. The main living space is ultra-glam and a pair of chic lounges are separated by a double-sided fireplace. The space also opens out onto the heated veranda, with an alfresco dining zone and a mesmerising infinity swimming pool that appears to drop straight down into the valley below.

There’s also a library, a wet bar and a spacious media lounge that evokes old school Hollywood glamour, thanks to its red carpeting, velvet blackout curtains and plush seating. If you can afford this zip code, you will also gain a fitness room, a home office and a recording studio, as well as an elevator that connects each floor, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and a subterranean garage for up to four cars. Celebrity homes don't get much more lavish than this! 

The most expensive celebrity pad currently on the market belongs to former professional basketball player, Dwyane Wade. Listed with Douglas Elliman Real Estate for a whopping $29 million (£22m), the home rests on just over an acre of land behind private gates on the waterfront of Miami Beach. The former Miami Heat player bought the home in 2010 for $10.6 million and it's every bit as glamorous as you'd expect a sports star's home to be...

Wade now spends most of his time in Los Angeles, where he lives with actor wife, Gabrielle Union, so it seems sensible that he parts with the pad. The enormous mansion spans 11,690 square feet and offers six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. There are also numerous formal living areas, a wine room and a state-of-the-art cinema.

Light-filled and dramatic, every room also offers period touches, such as timber beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. The chef-calibre kitchen is every foodie's dream and benefits from deluxe stainless steel appliances and plenty of countertop space. Built in 2015, the elegant house covers two floors and also benefits from a four-car garage.

The master bedroom is larger than most apartments in New York City. With an open-plan layout, the room is split into two with a sitting area, an office space, and a stunning ensuite bathroom that's more akin to a high-end hotel than a house. With a tub, a huge glass shower, and a dramatic light fixture, the space screams glamour. We think we're in love...

It won't come as a surprise to see a basketball court in Dwyane Wade's garden! Yet the full-size sports arena is not the only space for play in this pad. The estate also features a luxury barbecue zone, a tennis court, and a large swimming pool – as well as 165 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage. There's even a private dock for you to park up your favourite boat, so you can always make a speedy getaway! As far as celebrity homes go, this classic American dwelling is truly aspirational.

Located in Sumner County, Tennessee, Kelly Clarkson's stunning mansion has been on the market since March 2017 and was initially offered for $8.75 million. The property is still for sale to this day but we're not quite sure why because it's stunning! The American Idol winner has since lowered the price of her magical mansion to $7.499 million (£5.7m), which should attract more buyers.

The singer bought the property in 2013 for $2.8 million (£2.2m), so will make a substantial profit when it finally sells. The idyllic waterfront estate benefits from over four acres of land, as well as unobstructed ocean views. Sitting in a quiet gated cul-de-sac, the home also boasts its own private dock, a saltwater swimming pool and two spas, making it both private and highly luxurious.

Built in 2007, the house covers 20,121 square feet and features a grand foyer and a two-storey reception room, complete with a fireplace, French doors and a mezzanine level. The luxurious gourmet kitchen is ideal for a big family and comes complete with plenty of seating, high-end appliances and dramatic fixtures. 

Elsewhere, there are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, all immaculately presented and maintained. Despite being chic and contemporary, the interior also blends attractive period details, including full-length stone fireplaces, timber panelled ceilings, hardwood floors and antique casement windows.

The property's impressive master suite is truly inviting. Despite its grand size, the room feels gorgeously warm and cosy and features elegant decor and beautiful landscape views. On the market for $7.499 million (£5.7m), watch this space on Kelly Clarkson's enviable home.
