David Duchovny's Malibu Home and Train Caboose Guest Cottage Sell for $11 Million
Less than two months after it first hit the market for $12.5 million, David Duchovny's longtime home in the coveted Point Dume enclave of Malibu has sold to an unidentified buyer for just under $11 million. And though that's considerably less than he originally wanted, it's still around $6.2 million more than the veteran film and TV actor paid Hollywood writer/producer Chris Carter for the landlocked 1950s spread nine years ago, back in spring 2016. Since then, the X-Files and Californication star has extensively renovated and expanded the premises. Most notably, he kitted out an existing train caboose where he went on to pen his 2021 novel Truly Like Lightning and record episodes of his Fail Better podcast.

Rounding it all out is a detached building that currently serves as a gym, along with the caboose-turned-guesthouse that has its own living and sleeping areas, a kitchen, a built-in dining nook, a bath, and a rooftop deck.

Help! I'm Extremely Sunburned—Now What?
There's not much I've been consistently listening to my mother about since my teen years, but her number-one piece of advice—'Always wear sunscreen'—has stuck with me for most of my life, as has her firm instruction to never, ever get on a motorcycle. I inherited my extremely pale-tending, burn-prone skin from her, and while I had the requisite tween phase of slathering on weirdly croissant-scented, glitter-streaked self-tanner and hoping for the best, I'm now capable of finding a certain kind of pride in my post-sun pallor; sure, I'd love a beachside glow, but I'm satisfied every time I get home the same shade as I was when I left because it means my various SPFs, sunhats, full-coverage Mara Hoffman rash guards and hours spent inside my beach tent have done their job of limiting my exposure to the sun's potentially harmful rays. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case a weekend ago, when I came home from a day spent at Point Dume aglow from an IRL dolphin sighting only to realize that I was also more literally aglow with a bright-red, face-and-chest-scalding sunburn that must have snuck its way in while I was calling everyone I know to report on the dolphins. (Guys, they were stunning!) Given that I've spent so much of my life paranoid-Googling skin cancer facts and avoiding the sun, it was something of a shock to me to realize that at 31, I don't really know what to do about a sunburn; apparently, I'm not the only one susceptible to sun goofs, as Callum Turner proved recently on his vacation with new fiancee Dua Lipa, but how do we handle it?!? Turner and Lipa, a.k.a. the newly minted King and Queen of Vacation, are sunning themselves alongside Italy's Amalfi Coast, where the UV index tends to be very high, so clearly he—and I—could both use some guidance. For help, I turned to Dr. Anothy Rossi, double board-certified dermatologist and medical director for the preventative skin health program Joya Health, whose first piece of advice was simple and clear-cut: 'If you get a sunburn and it's not blistering, the first thing you should do is to keep the area clean and damp. Apply a thick layer of steroid-like over-the-counter cortisone cream mixed with thick emollient like Dr. Rossi Derm MD Night Synthesis (the peptide in the night synthesis targets the TRPV1 receptor to help block the inflammatory cascade), or pure aloe vera gel also works. Pro tip: Put the product in the refrigerator first to make it cool on application.' If you've already applied all the creams and aloe vera gels you own and are still suffering, Dr. Rossi has further advice: 'Take Vitamin D! Studies show that Vitamin D at an acute setting helps reverse sunburn cells. Follow with an anti-inflammatory like NSAID (Advil or Motrin) or aspirin to help reduce inflammation. Continue for the first 48-72 hours, and then remember to tell your derm during your next skin check about the sunburn. Stay hydrated as you lose water through your skin.' (I'm particularly bad at staying hydrated in the heat, so I'm going to put in my very own, most definitely not board-certified plug for Pedialyte Electrolyte Freezer Pops here; I feasted on almost a whole boxful while recovering from my sunburn, and I don't know if they actually had healing properties, but they certainly helped my mood, and isn't that half the battle.)

David Duchovny, 64, sells Malibu home for $11 million after marrying Monique Pendleberry, 31
David Duchovny has a lot to celebrate. He sold his chic Malibu bachelor pad on Point Dume for a cool $11 million shortly after marrying his girlfriend of six years, Monique Pendleberry, 31. The X Files star's, 64, former home has three bedrooms and an indoor-outdoor living plan over 3,580 square feet. The home hit the market for $12.5 million after buying it for $4.75 million in 2016. He originally rented the property from The X-Files creator Chris Carter when he needed a Los Angeles base. Duchovny razed the existing house, and poured about $7 million into building the modern home. Perhaps the most unique thing on the property is the guest house made out of an authentic train caboose. 'It's one of the things I'm most proud of that I've ever developed in my life,' Duchovny told WSJ of the caboose, which includes a living and sleeping area, dining nook, kitchen, bathroom, and even a roof deck. 'It's just an amazing little spot to be in,' he gushed. He originally rented the property from The X-Files creator Chris Carter when he needed a Los Angeles base. The open-concept main house seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, creating a breezy, relaxed vibe throughout the space. Outside, there's a sprawling wooden deck, a cozy lounge with built-in heaters, a sparkling lap pool, a sunken firepit, and an outdoor kitchen perfect for entertaining. You'll also find a Jacuzzi, a cold plunge, and an outdoor shower, making the backyard feel like a private spa retreat. He shares the home with his new wife Monique Pendleberry and their dogs, Brick and Rookie. Duchovny secretly married his much younger wife after six years of dating. Monique was just 25 when she started dating the then 58-year-old Californication star. Seen here June 10, 2023 Monique was just 24 when she started dating the then 58-year-old Californication star. Monique was born on June 14, 1993 and went to Newbury Park High School in Ventura Counry where she was the star of the soccer team. She went on to play soccer in college at the University of California at Irvine and now runs a Malibu-based floral design company called Friday Flowers. Duchovny and Pendleberry have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight and only made their red carpet debut at the premiere of his film You People in 2023. 'They met at the juice company where Monique was working. I met David before she did, but we've all hung out. They travel together to New York, Canada and Malibu. But they're not dating, they're just friends,' Monique's uncle Dirk Drew told Radar Online in 2023. The couple met at SunLife Organic Juicery, where Monique worked in 2017. A friend of David's owns the store. Prior to Monique, David was married to actress Tea Leoni, 59, from 1997 to 2014. The pair tied the knot in 1997 and quickly became one of Hollywood's most prominent power couples, often praised for keeping their private life relatively low-key despite their fame. However, their relationship hit a rough patch in 2008 when Duchovny checked himself into a rehabilitation center for treatment of sex addiction. The separation made headlines, but the two reunited in 2011, sparking hope for a lasting reconciliation. Despite their efforts, the couple quietly parted ways again and ultimately finalized their divorce in 2014 after 17 years of marriage. They share two children: daughter Madelaine West Duchovny, 24, who has begun forging her own path as an actress, and son Kyd Miller Duchovny, 21, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight.

David Duchovny's Longtime Malibu Home Lists for $12.5 Million
David Duchovny acquired a landlocked 1950s abode in the gated Point Dume enclave of Malibu almost a decade ago and then proceeded to build a brand-new modern home in its stead. There, amid the site that he's referred to as his 'magical place,' the veteran film and TV actor also kitted out an existing train caboose where he went on to pen his 2021 novel Truly Like Lightning and record episodes of his Fail Better podcast. The X-Files and Californication star has now chosen to part ways with his beloved digs and has the spot up for sale, asking $12.5 million—around $7.8 million more than he paid back in mid-2016. Based in New York at the time, Duchovny first rented the property from The X-Files writer/producer Chris Carter as a Los Angeles pied-à-terre before buying the property and making it his primary residence, according to The Wall Street Journal.
