Ben Stiller asking $11.495M for Hollywood estate

Medium 364e45e43d11053e4e229a56baed84ad Actor Ben Stiller and actress Christine Taylor have listed for sale a 10-bedroom, 11-bath home at 2427 Castilian Drive in Hollywood for $11.495 million.

Stiller paid $1.825 million for the property in Dec. 1999. Jonah Wilson of Sotheby's International Realty-Sunset is the listing agent for the property.

Stiller is one of the highest-grossing comedic actors of the last decade. His three most lucrative films, Meet the Fockers (2004), Night at the Museum (2006) and Madagascar (2005), have earned nearly $724 million combined at the box office in the United States, and his slew of other blockbusters have made him one of the leading men in Hollywood. Other Stiller hits include Tropic Thunder, Starsky & Hutch, Along Came Polly, Zoolander, Meet the Parents and perhaps his mainstream breakout film, the 1998 romp There's Something About Mary. Stiller has also played minor roles in hits like The Cable Guy, The Royal Tenenbaums, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and the 1994 cult classic Reality Bites, which marked his feature film directorial debut.

Stiller first made a splash with the early 1990's MTV comedy show "The Ben Stiller Show," which featured fellow young comics Janeane Garafolo and Andy Dick. He is the son of the famed comedy duo of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara.

Stiller and Taylor (who married in May 2000) have worked together on three films, including starring roles for both in Zoolander and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Taylor has also starred in a number of other hit films, including The Wedding Singer and The Brady Bunch Movie, in which she portrayed eldest sister Marsha Brady. She got her start on the long-running Nickelodeon series "Hey Dude."

According to BlockShopper.com, there were 479 home sales in Hollywood in the last 12 months, with a median sales price of $680,000.
