Joss Whedon

And David Greenwalt sells Pacific Palisades home for $2,958,000

I love Halloween, don’t you? And in the spirit of the holiday, here’s some real estate news about a couple of masters of spook.

* Joss Whedon, creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has listed his 4,064-square-foot English Country home in Brentwood for $3,695,000. Although no black cats are included, there is a media room, a music room, two offices and a wall of accordion doors that open the kitchen-family room to the outdoors. The house has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and perhaps a ghost in the attic who serves as Whedon’s muse?

In addition to Buffy and its spinoff "Angel" (about a private eye vampire), Whedon created "Firefly" in 2002, which aired on Fox. While perhaps less well-known for it, Whedon also has a line of comic books based on Buffyville.

The 44-year-old Academy Award nominee started his Hollywood career as a writer for "Roseanne," a show that in its day annually set the benchmark for Halloween episodes.

Dolly Niemann of Prudential California Realty, Brentwood, has the listing.

* Another "Buffy" veteran, staff writer David Greenwalt, recently sold his house in the Pacific Palisades for $2,958,000, according to the Multiple Listing Service.

The five-bedroom, six-bathroom house has 5,259 square feet with an outdoor fireplace, deck and pool set against a backdrop of mountain and canyon views.

Greenwalt, 58, was also the head writer on "Angel" and co-creator of the short-lived cult Fox show, "Profit." He was also the executive producer of the vampire-themed detective show "Moonlight" and the NBC show, "Kidnapped." Jeannie Lawford of Prudential California Realty had the listing. David Kelmenson and Robert Radcliffe, both of Sotheby’s International Realty in Pacific Palisades, represented the buyer, who, as best we can determine, has no vampire affiliations.
