People who grew up in the early to mid-90s will best remember comedian Pauly Shore and his signature shock of curly hair for films like ‘Encino Man’, ‘Bio-Dome’, and ‘Son in Law.
But the now-51-year-old actor has seemingly fallen off the map for a while there mainly starring in the small screen. And now, Shore is back in the news again as he lists his longtime Hollywood Hills home at a much-reduced price. Read on until the end to know the full story behind this decision.
Updated Mid-Century Pad
The home spans 4,500 square feet and features an outdoor-indoor living design concept
The property currently has an asking price of $9.5 million, a downgrade from the previous $13 million price tag Shore put on it several years ago. However, it’s worth noting that the comedian is still bound to make a profit when he does manage to sell the home as he reportedly snagged it for just $1.15 million back in 1996.
Originally built in the late ‘50s, the contemporary-style residence offers some pretty nifty perks to its potential new owner. For one, it has undergone remodeling and has been updated since. There’s also the 360-degree stunning views it offers giving residents an unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the cityscape below. The single-story home has a total of four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, certainly plenty of space for Shore, who is a bachelor.
A look at Shore’s well-lit kitchen
Inside, the home is a mix of modern aesthetics with its sleek wood-burning fireplace, glass sliders, and floors of industrial-style concrete tiles. Meanwhile, its kitchen features some stainless steel appliances and boasts of a thick marble countertop. The gray-ish color scheme can also be seen in this area.
Elsewhere in the spacious abode is the master bedroom, which is also outfitted with more glass walls. These then lead out onto a wooden deck that wraps around the home. From its sitting area, one can lounge while enjoying the mountain views. Back inside the ensuite room is a bathroom with impressive amenities cush as a double vanity, a glass steam shower, and even a dry sauna. The rest of the half-acre property is completed by a two-car garage and an infinity pool.
Pauly’s Struggles
The star has been renting out his pad for the past few years.
The massive price cut comes after Shore’s inability to sell the property. It can be remembered that he has also put the place up for rent leasing it for a reported $27,500 a month for years. The ‘90s movie star has previously made his struggles a part of his comedy stand up bits.
He’s joked about not living in his Hollywood Hills home because he can’t afford ‘a $10,000-a-month mortgage’ on residual checks from his previous films.
However, some sources report that Shore has a net worth of about $20 million.
