Leslie Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS Network, has listed his La Costa Beach pad in Malibu for $12.99 million. News of the listing comes just four days after tabloids reported that the media mogul purchased Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's Carbon Beach pad for $28 million.

Moonves's beach pad hit the listing market early in March, according to The Real Estalker. The residence spans an area of 3,014 square feet and is comprised of three bedrooms and three full and one half bathrooms.

The modern, contemporary house has a unique design with hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beamed and drywall ceilings and an open floor plan.

Living spaces include a formal drawing room, a dining area and a den. There is a spa in the courtyard and a beach-facing lounging area.

"Beautiful La Costa Beach home done in the very best taste with the finest craftsmanship," the listing reads.

Billionaire Paul Allen purchased this place in 2010 for $25.06 million before selling it for $28 million to Moonves. Sources told the New York Post that Allen hated the sound of sea, which was the major reason for selling.

The residence is a 5,794-square-foot, single-family house sitting on a 0.43-acre lot. Comprised of five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the pad is complete with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and an open floor plan. The airy home has hardwood flooring, drywall ceilings and an infinity pool outside.
