Pauly Shore wants $9.5M for Hollywood Hills home

Comedian Pauly Shore isn’t cracking jokes about the price on his contemporary home atop Nichols Canyon in LA’s Hollywood Hills. The mansion is on the market for a dead-serious $9.5 million.

The current median list price for a home in the Hollywood Hills sits at $1.8 million. Is Shore’s home worth the hefty price tag?

Maybe! The proto-bro comic purchased the property back in his MTV glory days in 1996, for $1.15 million. The 4,500-square-foot, single-level home underwent extensive renovations in 2015. Shore’s original asking price for the property was $13 million — and that’s also no joke.

Shore had no nibbles at the eight-digit asking price, and soon listed the property as a luxury rental for $27,000 a month, after failing to land a buyer.

The current price is justified by a number of worthy features. Perhaps the best element of this ’50s-era architecture is its unobstructed, near-360-degree view of LA, the nearby San Gabriel Mountains, the Hollywood sign and the Pacific Ocean.

The open floor-plan home features four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, bright-white walls, concrete-colored floor tiles, an L-shaped infinity-edge pool with an attached spa, and plenty of natural light that floods the living and family rooms.

Shore started his career as a comedian at the age of 17. He became a household name for teenagers in the 1990s as an MTV VJ.

Son of Mitzi Shore, owner of Hollywood’s legendary Comedy Store, and stand-up comic Sammy Shore, Shore was on top of the world throughout the 1990s. Known for his signature curly locks and surfer-dude, laid-back attitude, he started in such feature films as “Encino Man,” “Son in Law” and “Bio-Dome.”
