    The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ House Hits the Market for $13.5 Million

    It’s time for this Los Angeles-area manse to keep up with another family.

    The Mediterranean-style digs that served as ground zero for the long-running E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which turned the Kardashian-Jenner clan into reality stars, has just hit the market for $13.5 million, The New York Times reported. The glamorous abode sits in the guard-gated city of Hidden Hills.

    Records show matriarch and “momager” Kris Jenner and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who was then her husband and known as Bruce Jenner, paid $4 million for the property in spring 2010. Her son, Rob Kardashian, has been living in the home for the past several years. Built in the late 1990s and recently updated by celebrity designer Ryan Saghian—complete with all-new furnishings that can be purchased for an additional $400,000—the two-story structure has six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 8,800 square feet.

    Fans of the show will easily recognize the iconic foyer with its bridal staircase and black-and-white tile floor.

    Introducing the abode is a dramatic double-height foyer displaying a black-and-white checkered marble floor and a sweeping bridal staircase. From there, a fireside living area is lined with tall arched windows and French doors, while the formal dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen boasting dual islands, a black La Cornue range, and a butler’s pantry with a frozen yogurt machine.

    The amenities continue with an office and a family room with a wet bar. The posh primary suite, meanwhile, features a fireplace, a private balcony, a separate gym, and a steam shower-equipped bath. Outdoors, the manicured grounds span over an acre and host a pool with a spa and waterfall, an open-air cabana warmed by a fireplace, and several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots. There’s also an attached four-car garage on the premises.

    “This home was an integral part of the show,” listing agent Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California told The New York Times. “But it isn’t just a house that was on TV. It’s a home where a family lived their lives, with good times, bad times, kids growing up, and all kinds of evolution.”

    Jenner decided to sell the residence because she believes the time has come for another family to make their own memories within its walls. “I’ve shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family,” she told the publication, “and I’m excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners.”

    The matriarch, who began filming The Kardashians on Hulu in 2022, has moved on to another residence. She and her daughter Khloe Kardashian currently live in side-by-side homes in Hidden Hills that they purchased a few years ago for $20 million and $17 million, respectively.

    Lori Loughlin’s SoCal Estate Has Returned to the Market at a Discounted $16.5 Million

    Almost a year after it first hit the market with a $17.5 million price tag, Lori Loughlin’s Southern California residence in the guard-gated city of Hidden Hills has lingered on the market with no takers. But now the modern farmhouse-style spread has popped up for sale again after a brief absence, this time with a substantially reduced $16.5 million ask. The listing is held by Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate and Marc Shevin of Douglas Elliman.

    The actress, who is probably best known for her turn as Aunt Becky on the long-running TV show Full House, and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli paid $9.5 million for the property back in summer 2020. Built in 2018 but renovated by the couple during their tenure, the two-story structure rests amid a gated parcel spanning over an acre in the coveted Ashley Ridge Estates enclave and offers six bedrooms and nine baths in nearly 12,000 square feet boasting maple floors, soaring ceilings, and sliding glass doors providing seamless indoor-outdoor environs.

    Especially standing out on the main level are a fireside living area resting beneath a striking sky-lit ceiling and a formal dining room sitting across from a climate-controlled wine closet. Other highlights include a family room warmed by a fireplace, which connects via a casual dining space to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances.

    Elsewhere are an office, a movie theater, and a gym, as well as a posh primary suite sporting a marble fireplace, a private balcony, and dual spa-like baths. The amenities continue outdoors, where the picturesque mountain-view grounds are laced with olive trees and hold a pool and spa, a bocce court, a fire pit, and a barbecue area. There’s also an attached four-car garage.

    The living room is centered around a bookmatched marble fireplace stretching to the soaring sky-lit ceiling.

    The couple—who you might remember for their part in the high-profile college admissions scandal in 2019 involving their daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli—also own a $13 million desert vacation retreat at the Madison Club in California’s Coachella Valley, where some of their nearest neighbors include Apple’s Tim Cook, Nike’s Phil Knight, Justin Bieber, and multiple members of the Kardashian clan.

    Nicollette Sheridan Relists Her French Country-Style Estate in SoCal for $13 Million

    More than a year after it first hit the market with a nearly $16 million price tag, Nicollette Sheridan’s longtime residence in the gated Los Angeles enclave of Hidden Hills has lingered on the market with no takers. But now it’s popped up for sale again with a substantially reduced $13 million ask, which is around $3 million less than the veteran TV and film actress originally wanted for the place in summer 2023.

    Sheridan and her ex-fiancé, the singer Michael Bolton, paid singer Melissa Etheridge and her wife Tammy Lynn Michaels $4.3 million for the San Fernando Valley spread back in spring 2008. Originally built in the 1970s, the two-story structure rests amid a gated hilltop parcel spanning almost four acres and offers six bedrooms and seven baths in 7,500 square feet of recently renovated living space boasting a mix of limestone and wide-plank French oak floors paired with vaulted wood-beam ceilings.

    The formal living room has French doors that open out to a covered patio.

    Especially standing out on the main level are formal living and dining rooms with French doors spilling out onto a covered patio. Other highlights include a wet bar-equipped family room warmed by a fireplace and a wood-paneled office, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with a marble-topped island, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, butler and silver pantries, and a window-lined breakfast nook sporting a built-in banquette. 

    The amenities continue upstairs, where a posh primary suite comes complete with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath hosting a pedestal spa tub, a steam shower, and a sauna; and outdoors, the picturesque mountain- and city-view grounds are surrounded by equestrian amenities and riding trails and hold a tennis court, a gym, a pool and spa, and a kitchen with an imported Italian pizza oven. There’s also a separate guest suite with its own stairway entrance and a three-car garage.

    In addition to a pool and spa, the grassy backyard hosts an outdoor kitchen equipped with a pizza oven imported from Italy.

    Per the listing, which is held by Shen Schulz of Sotheby’s International Realty, Sheridan is doubling down on trying to sell because she wants her aging horses to live in heaven on earth and frolic to their heart’s content. “As much as I love my home, it is time for us to move on,” she said in a statement. “We will be moving to a farm that allows us the freedom of green pastures and many more furry and feathery friends to accompany us on our new adventures.”

    This SoCal Estate Was Once Home to Bing Crosby. Now It Can Be Yours for $13.5 Million.

    Though Bing Crosby passed away in October 1977 at age 73, the legendary star’s legacy lives on at the Palm Desert estate he once called home, not to mention the 300 million-plus records he sold and over 50 films he starred in throughout his lengthy career. Since revamped by its current owners, the Coachella Valley oasis is now on the market in the exclusive Ironwood Country Club community about 15 miles from Palm Springs for $13.5 million.

    One of several California desert properties Crosby laid claim to through the years, this particular residence was built in the mid-1950s and has been touted as the site of an alleged tryst between President John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe in the ’60s. Last purchased in 2012 for around $3 million by retired healthcare executive Randall Burt and his attorney wife Julia, the place has since been fully renovated in keeping with its legacy and heritage per the listing, which is held by Susan Canavan and Deirdre Coit of Canavan Coit & Associates at Compass.

    The fireside living room has a wall of retractable glass doors spilling out to an entertaining terrace.

    One Point Media Group

    Resting amid a two-and-a-half-acre gated parcel with views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, the Spanish-style dwelling features a main house and a trio of guest casitas—for a total of five bedrooms and seven baths in 6,100 square feet. Highlights include a living room sporting a fireplace, plus floor-to-ceiling glass doors spilling out to a fireside terrace ideal for alfresco entertaining. An adjacent dining area connects to a kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops and dual eat-in islands, while a lounge area has a seated bar and a glass-enclosed wine display.

    Sequestered off by themselves are two bedrooms, which include a primary suite that comes with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath flaunting a soaking tub and two-person shower. Like most spaces in the attractive abode, the bedrooms are accessible to the palm tree-laced grounds, which are showcased by a mosaic-tiled pool and spa surrounded by a grassy lawn and sundecks, as well as tennis and bocce courts. There’s also a spacious motor court flanked by an attached three-car garage.

    The bar room includes a lounge area and glass-enclosed wine cellar.

    As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Burts are selling because they are getting older and want to downsize. If the place goes for anywhere near the asking price it would be one of the priciest sales in the vicinity, topping a Richard Neutra-designed spread in Palm Springs that traded hands in spring 2022 for just over $13 million.

    Often revered for his crooning voice and relaxed humor, Crosby gained fame in the 1930s when he garnered a CBS radio show in New York City. He went on to appear in numerous movies, such as the box-office hit Holiday Inn, in which he sang White Christmas. The Washington-born actor is still regarded as “one of the best-loved and most highly respected figures in theatrical history,” with his accolades including a best actor Oscar for his role as a priest in Going My Way. In the San Diego area, he’s also known for creating the first celebrity pro-am golf tournament and helping build the Del Mar Racetrack.

    Brooke Shields’s Former Los Angeles Home Hits the Market for $8.7 Million

    Two years ago, Brooke Shields sold her longtime Los Angeles home to actor Sam Page, whose credits include Mad Men and about a dozen Hallmark TV movies, and his spouse Cassidy Boesch for $7.4 million. Boesch’s parent’s co-own the property according to property records. Now, the OG supermodel and Golden Globe-nominated actress’s former home in Pacific Palisades has resurfaced, asking just shy of $8.7 million.

    Located in the sought-after Riviera neighborhood and originally built in 1982, the Pretty Baby star splashed out $3.3 million for the hillside pad back in 1997, when she was still married to professional tennis player Andre Agassi. For years before she sold it, New York City-based Shields had the chalet-style spread on and off the rental market several times and it allegedly served as a crash pad for Ben Affleck after he and his then-wife Jennifer Garner split up in 2016. (At the time, Affleck and Garner still owned a sprawling estate a couple of doors down.)  

    A whitewashed stone fireplace anchors the living room.

    Ryan Lahiff

    “This celebrity pedigreed estate boasts expansive mountain and canyon views, and a peaceful country ambiance—a calming departure from the busy L.A. lifestyle,” notes the listing, which is being held by Alla Furman, David Kramer, and Andrew Buss with Hilton & Hyland | Forbes Global Properties. 

    The gated residence sits on close to half an acre and features five bedrooms and six bathrooms across 5,345 square feet. The interior has a charming and rustic farmhouse feel to it, complete with French doors, shiplap walls, vaulted and beamed ceilings, dark Douglas fir wooden floors, and several wood-burning stone fireplaces. The main level, built for entertaining, is decked out with a formal living room, a dining area, and an open-plan chef’s kitchen. The latter sports a marble island and a super cozy fireside breakfast nook. Another highlight of the main level is the giant wraparound terrace. 

    A broad terrace wraps around the upper floor, offering open views over the neighborhood.

    Ryan Lahiff

    The primary suite takes up the entire top floor and leads out to a balcony that overlooks the Getty Center. In addition to a lofted office area and a separate sitting room, there’s a custom walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with a marble shower, a soaking tub and a whitewashed brick fireplace. The rest of the bedrooms are located on the lower level, which also holds a massive game room with a wet bar, as well as a media lounge for movie nights.

    Notched into the hillside below the house, a freeform swimming pool and spa are surrounded by lush greenery. And, if potential buyers are eager to expand their footprint, an adjacent parcel of 1.72 acres—it is currently being used as additional outdoor space for 1710 San Remo—is available to purchase separately for $6.35 million, which would bring the total amount of land to over two acres.

    Thandiwe Newton’s Former Rustic-Chic SoCal Retreat Hits the Market for $4.2 Million

    Almost two years after Thandiwe Newton sold her home in the rural Los Angeles County community of Topanga Canyon for $2.75 million following a swift four-month stay, the Westworld star’s former residence has once again surfaced for sale. The rustic yet chic abode in the foothills above Malibu is now going for a smidge under $4.2 million, with the listing held by John Galich of Sotheby’s International Realty.

    Records show the veteran film and TV actress acquired the property in September 2022 for $2.6 million from fashion designer-turned-astrologist Lily Ashwell and then promptly turned around and transferred the place in January 2023. Before that, the celeb-pedigreed digs were occupied by married actors Julianne Nicholson and Jonathan Cake.

    The mountain-view living room features a massive fireplace built by master stonemason Jack Rice.

    Originally built in the 1970s but extensively renovated by the current owner, the timber-clad structure is tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac in the “climate-perfect” Fernwood neighborhood, amid two parcels of land spanning over a third of an acre. Inside, four bedrooms and five baths are filtered across roughly 3,000 square feet of multi-level living space that’s been revamped by a former set designer and architectural preservation specialist, per marketing materials.

    Upon entering the front door via a shrubbery-lined walkway, an entry foyer displaying a curving staircase flows to a double-height living room sporting a 20-foot rock fireplace crafted by the late stonemason Jack Rice. Walls of glass frame picturesque views of the Santa Monica Mountains. An adjacent dining area connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with ceramic countertops, open shelving, a breakfast bar, and a vintage range. An expansive wraparound deck is also accessible from both the living room and kitchen.

    The lower-level primary suite has glass doors spilling out onto a brick terrace.

    Elsewhere is a lofted office and a wet bar-equipped lounge area with a built-in banquette, as well as an ensuite primary bedroom that comes with the original brick fireplace, plus a walk-in closet and a private terrace. Outdoors, the grounds are laced with mature oak and eucalyptus trees and host a natural plunge pool, a Finnish sauna, and meandering pathways leading to numerous spots for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also an art studio, plus a guesthouse nestled alongside a seasonal creek.

    The England-born actress, who appeared in the films Crash and The Pursuit of Happyness and snagged an Emmy Award in 2018 for her role as android Maeve Millay in the HBO series Westworld, reportedly went on to buy a historic home in London that she planned to renovate and make her primary residence.

    Ronda Rousey Pins a Buyer for Her $1 Million Vacation Home in SoCal

    While she’s awaiting a buyer for her cozy, space-savvy bungalow in the oceanside Venice Beach community of Los Angeles, Ronda Rousey has been busy knocking out the sale of a 4.5-acre vacation home she owns in the Southern California mountaintop community of Running Springs, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles and 20-some miles east of Big Bear Lake. Now it seems the retired UFC and WWE star has officially landed a contract for the hillside property, which was most recently listed for a speck under $1 million—or around $235,000 more than she paid for the place a little more than six years ago. The listing is held by Christina Thomas of Goat & Dime.

    Within the open-concept interiors, a window-lined living area connects to a chandelier-topped dining space.

    TruVue Productions

    Built in the early 1990s and purchased by Rousey for $765,000 in spring 2018, the green-hued and brick-accented home rests in the Rimwood Ranch equestrian neighborhood and offers four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in a little more than 3,700 square feet of two-level living space. Recently upgraded, the newly contemporary interiors sport a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, high ceilings, and an open-concept floor plan, while the kitchen flaunts granite countertops, a central island, a breakfast bar, newer stainless appliances, a workstation, and a casual dining area.

    In addition to formal living and dining rooms, other main-level highlights include a sunken family room displaying a fireplace and glass doors leading out to an expansive rear deck offering picturesque mountain and forest views, as well as a loft-style game room that comes complete with a built-in wet bar. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite hosts a fireside lounge area, a walk-in closet, and a bath equipped with dual vanities, a spa tub, and a glass-encased shower.

    Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunken family room that’s warmed by a fireplace.

    TruVue Productions

    There’s also a three-car garage with plenty of storage space and driveway parking for multiple cars, plus easy access to the nearby Snow Valley ski resort and surrounding San Bernardino County communities of Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead.

    Rousey, 37, currently owns two California and Oregon ranch properties known collectively as Browsey Acres, where she rears Wagyu beef and pasture-raised chicken alongside her ex-UFC competitor husband Travis Browne. In L.A., her two-bedroom, one-bath home in Venice Beach was recently listed for nearly $1.9 million.

    Comedian Buddy Hackett’s Former Beverly Hills Home Hits the Market for $18 Million

    Before late actor and comedian Buddy Hackett settled into his longtime home across from the Los Angeles Country Club, the legendary funnyman lived at this Beverly Hills estate just a few doors down the street. Hackett, who died in 2003 at the age of 78 at his beach house in Malibu, is best remembered for his roles in The Music Man and It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. 

    The Spanish-style compound at 718 Walden Drive sprawls over an almost half-acre lot in an area of town known as the Beverly Hills Flats. Over the years, the neighborhood of broad, tree-lined streets and stately residences amid sculpted gardens has been home to a slew of high-profile residents, including Jimmy Stewart, Diane Keaton, and Simon Cowell. It’s also the neighborhood where Howard Hughes took out three homes when he crashed an experimental plane in July 1947 and where, just a month earlier, gangster Bugsey Siegel was gunned down in the home of his girlfriend Virginia Hill.

    Hackett’s former digs, which date to 1929, recently got a top-to-bottom spruce-up courtesy of its current owners who have floated the revamped spread onto the market for just shy of $18 million. “They completely took it down to the studs,” listing agent Rochelle Maize of Nourmand & Associates told Mansion Global. “It’s almost like a brand new house.” The main residence features four bedrooms and seven bathrooms in just over 7,700 square feet. There are two additional guest spaces on the property.

    Completely transformed contemporary interiors have an easy relationship with the grassy yard.

    The overhaul nicely preserved some of the home’s original architectural details, including the creamy white stucco, terracotta roof, and exposed wood ceilings, while the decorator-ready white-walled interior spaces were largely stripped of moldings and other extraneous ornamentation. Important upgrades also included the installation of new electrical and plumbing systems, high-definition security cameras, and a home automation system with Nest thermostats.

    The home is tucked behind a spacious courtyard clad with red brick, and just beyond the front doors are clear remnants of the abode’s past. The staircase is dressed up with decorative tiles, and there are soaring truss ceilings in the foyer and living room. The dwelling also includes a large family room decked out with a custom, step-down bar. This space also contains a wine cellar and custom wall-to-wall cabinets, while the nearby chef’s kitchen is equipped with an impressive 12-foot center island and top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero and Wolf. 

    A skylight-capped room designed for relaxed entertaining includes a long bar and a huge TV.

    Slava Blazer Photography/Alex Grant

    Other standout spaces include a dedicated entertainment lounge with a wet bar and the main bedroom, which is outfitted with a private office that opens onto an outdoor balcony, as well as dual closets, and a pair of spa baths kitted out with heated flooring.

    The property’s ample proportions provide plenty of room for a 40-foot-long swimming pool and a pool house with a bathroom, plus a spacious en-suite guest unit above the detached two-car garage. And for those on the pickleball craze, a flat expanse of lawn alongside the pool will comfortably accommodate a regulation pickleball court.
