Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor have listed their sprawling two-home compound in the Hollywood Hills for $12.5 million.
The property includes a restored 1929 Spanish-style home, with 5,334 square feet, and a three-story contemporary Mediterranean, originally built in 1930 with 4,062 square feet, the Los Angeles Times reported in its Hot Property column. Together, the two homes have 10 bedrooms.
The property has been the subject of a few tweets on Stiller's Twitter page.
Stiller, 43, has starred in comedies such as "Meet the Parents" (2000) and its 2004 sequel, "Tropic Thunder" (2008) and "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonia" (2009). He is due to star in the Noah Baumbach-directed comedy "Greenberg" due out next year.
Taylor, 38, whose television guest appearances include "Arrested Development" (2006) and "Friends" (1997), has starred in several films with Stiller, including "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" (2004) and "Zoolander" (2001).
The listing agent is Jonah Wilson of Sotheby's International Realty's Sunset office. The listing calls the compound the "crown jewel of outpost estates."
