It was only eight months ago that Charlie Sheen first listed his Italianate home in Beverly Hills. But in that roughly eight-month period, the home has seen a little flurry of activity, including a rental option and a pair of price reductions.

And at least one more. This week the property’s asking price was whittled down again, with a half million falling away from the listing; it now stands at $8.5 million. No massive chops, but the little ones are adding up.

The house features an ornate Italian renaissance-influenced style, with columns, warm-toned stucco, French doors capped with fanlight windows, and Juliet balconies; the façade is symmetrical and inviting, if grandiose.

Inside, the home is unpretentious, with many a creature comfort present and accounted for. A survey of those includes a period-style home cinema from Creston, a game and entertainment room with wet bar, and a master suite with a screening room, living space, wet bar, and an oversized master bath and walk-in closet.

The house extends to 9,000 square feet. The interiors are warm and easygoing, with exposed beams, hardwood floors, wall niche displays, and arches giving the home a rustic appeal.

The exterior squeezes in a lengthy riff on Endless Summer luxuriance, with a cabana-style wet bar and kitchen fueling the considerable entertainment potential of the pool and patio complex.
