Back on May 24, 2013, TMZ revealed that David Hasselhoff of Knight Rider and Baywatch fame purchased a Calabasas home for $1.95 million on May 15, 2013. The online property records have yet to be updated but the LA Times also published the same story the next day so it must be legit.
The home measures 5 Beds/6 Baths on 5,767 sqft on a total lot size of 1.54 acres built in 1990. The listing description states:
BACK ON MARKET! BUYERS LOSS CAN BE YOUR GAIN!! Stunning Custom Mediterranean showplace in exclusive small gated community. Updated with travertine and wood floors, plantation shutters, newer bathrooms and kitchen. 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, office, upstairs bonus room with built-ins. Family room with wet bar and hardwood floors. Sunken Living room with hardwood floors. Formal Dining. Large master site with fireplace, balcony, huge walk-in closet and bathroom with dual vanities, stall shower, spa tub. Large eat-in kitchen plus breakfast room. Back yard is paradise with large patios, pool and spa with waterfall, BBQ center, lush landscape and grassy play yard. Upper pad has basketball court. Very private. Great home and property for entertaining or just enjoying life.
The previous owner belonged to former Countrywide Treasurer, Jennifer Sandefur (see her quote in a Fortune article talking about the fall of Countrywide), who purchased this home for $1,650,000 back on June 20, 2003 and stands to make a decent $300k gross profit.

Long time readers and fans of Celeb R.E. in the SFV know that Hasselhoff recently sold his longtime Encino home (shown above) in the Amestoy estates area for $3,549,000 on April 26, 2013 which was discussed on this blog (full details and pics included). The sale of that home netted Hasselhoff a gross profit of $1,569,000 which I imagine was used towards the purchase of that home. At the time the Encino home was sold, I said, "Hasselhoff's relocation is unknown but one has to wonder if he sold his longtime Encino home to downsize or simply wanted to move to a more exclusive area." Lo and behold Hasselhoff moved into a gated community in the exclusive Calabasas area where his home literally backs up to Hidden Hills. If any local residents see Hasselhoff's replica K.I.T.T. driving around, please do share pictures.
