LOS ANGELES — Actor, race-car driver and recent Dancing With the Stars contestant Frankie Muniz has sold his home in Phoenix for US$3.2 million.

In recent years, Muniz, 32, has made his home in various parts of south-central Arizona.

Set behind walls and gates in the Biltmore area, the Andalusian hacienda-style house dates from 1935.

Original floors, hand-finished walls and beamed ceilings are among the features of the 5,300-square-foot house, which has been restored and modernized. Updates include a farmhouse-style kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and floating shelves.

The master suite comprises his and hers bathrooms, a relaxation room and a boutique-inspired closet. Guest suites are equipped with separate sitting areas. There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Outdoor entertaining areas include vine-wrapped and trellis-topped patios, Roman and prayer gardens and a loggia that opens to the swimming pool. Also within two-plus-acres of grounds is a bocce court, lawns and mature landscaping.

Muniz is known for playing the character Malcolm on the long-running sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Away from the screen, Muniz has dabbled as a race-car driver and musician. He finished third on the most recent season of Dancing With the Stars.

House sale was a co-production

Spinning records isn’t the only thing disc jockeys Calvin Harris and Steve Angello have in common. They also have similar taste in real estate.

Harris was the buyer of Angello’s Hollywood Hills home, which sold last month for about US$5.045 million.

The musical roots apparently run deep at the two-storey traditional home, which features a two-storey music room and recording studio. Composer-musician Tom Rothrock — who has worked with such artists as the Foo Fighters, Moby and Gwen Stefani — is another former owner.

Sitting high up from the street, the 1940s house has four bedrooms and five bathrooms in a little more than 6,000 square feet of living space. Interior details include vaulted ceilings, built-in bookshelves and subdued hues. Oversized picture windows make the most of city-lights views. Market lights cross over the swimming pool and patios in the backyard. There’s also an outdoor shower.

Harris, 33, has hits that include The Girls, I’m Not Alone and Let’s Go. He won a Grammy for best short-form music video in 2013 for the song We Found Love, which features Rihanna.

Angello, with Swedish House Mafia, co-produced such hits as Save the World, Greyhound and Miami 2 Ibiza. The 35-year-old is the founder and owner of Size Records and its sister label X.
