A night at the Stiller compound?

Comic actor Ben Stiller and his actress wife, Christine Taylor, have listed their Hollywood Hills property at $12.5 million.

The site includes two houses and a one-bedroom guesthouse for a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms on nearly an acre.

A gated and walled 1929 Spanish-style house of 5,334 square feet has been restored and updated. Outdoor courtyard and living areas, as well as the lushly landscaped pool area, are decorated with terra-cotta tiles and colorful inlays.

A second home -- a three-story contemporary Mediterranean, originally built in 1930 and also redone -- has 4,062 square feet of living space. Several French doors along the back lead to extensive outdoor terrace and deck areas with built-in seating around mature trees.

COMEDIAN BUZZI SELLS

HOME IN HOLLYWOOD HILLS

Veteran actress and comedian Ruth Buzzi sold her longtime Hollywood Hills home for $1,021,000 to film producer Daniel Dubiecki.

The 1937 Spanish-style house, with canyon and mountain views, sits on a cul-de-sac. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,893 square feet. There are fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom, high ceilings, balconies and two decks.

The two-story home, which Buzzi, 73, had owned since 1976, came on the market at the end of December at $1.55 million.

CONDO THAT DAVIS OWNED

ON MARKET FOR $2.4 MILLION

The former West Hollywood home of Oscar-winning actress Bette Davis is for sale at $2.45 million.

The 2,242-square-foot condominium is on the fourth floor of the 1930 Colonial House, which was designed by architect Leland A. Bryant and reflects the glamour of the era. The Colonial Revival-style brick building, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, features a library, pool, gardens, wood-paneled elevators, security and gated parking.

Owner Gordon Thompson III, a design consultant, recently renovated and updated the three-bedroom, 2 ½-bathroom unit. The home has city, mountain and treetop views, many original built-ins, hardwood floors and a terrace.

It was actor Roddy McDowall who helped Davis find her place in Colonial House in the late '70s, according to the Roy Moseley biography Bette Davis. Moseley wrote that Davis found the 12-foot ceilings ``dauntingly high'' but that the unit ``overlooked La Ronda apartment house, where she and her mother first stayed when they arrived from New York with no money, no prospects, and plenty of dreams. Bette enjoyed the irony.''

KOREAN FILM STAR BUYS

CONDO IN WEST HOLLYWOOD

Actress Leslie Kim, a TV and film star in South Korea, has purchased a West Hollywood condo for $1,485,000 to serve as a home base for her U.S. movie work.

The loft-style unit has two bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms in 2,025 square feet. There are 15-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors and floor-to-ceiling windows in the low-rise building. A private elevator leads to a roof deck with 360-degree views of the Hollywood Hills, downtown L.A. and greenbelt areas.

Kim, 26, who was born in the United States and moved to South Korea to pursue her acting career, bought the condominium as a second home.

FORMER MINNESOTA VIKING

LISTS IN LAKE ARROWHEAD

NFL analyst and former player Robert Griffith has listed a Lake Arrowhead site for sale at $799,999.

The 38,000-square-foot property comes with a single-slip dock site and plans for an 8,000-square-foot old Lake Arrowhead Lodge-style home that Griffith had intended as a retreat. It is in the gated Shelter Cove community in the San Bernardino National Forest.

Griffith, 38, said he has ``always loved Lake Arrowhead. The air is always clean, and the environment puts me in a whole other place.'' This is the second property that he has owned in the area.

The safety spent the bulk of his 13-year pro football career with the Minnesota Vikings but also played for the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals. He has since established Matador Enterprises, and his varied entrepreneurial pursuits have included wireless and land-line phone distribution and the restaurant business.
