KIM KARDASHIAN AND KRIS JENNER
The family that buys real estate together stays together, apparently.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ matriarch Kris Jenner and her daughter Kim Kardashian West have both bought condominiums at Avanti, a new upscale community in Calabasas. Jenner paid $1.497 million (Dh5.4 million) and $1.65 million for two separate residences; Kardashian West paid $1.6 million for her own unit.
The off-market purchases were made through separate blind trusts linked to the reality television personalities, according to public records.
Although details of the individual condos are scant, marketing materials for the community show that the units range from 195.9 square metres to 247.3 square metres of living space with either two or three bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms.
The Italian-vibe condos, designed by Robert Hidey Architects, feature such details as European cabinetry, Kohler fixtures and Wolf appliances. Two-tone hues and custom lighting give the interiors a contemporary yet slightly lived-in feel.
Private decks and balconies look onto a central courtyard with a swimming pool, spa and sun deck. Shared elevators provide access to each residence. A club room, fitness centre and dedicated parking garage are among other community amenities.
Developed by New Home Co and completed last year, the mixed-use community also has 1,021.9 square metres of retail space that includes SoulCycle, Pressed Juicery and other boutique businesses.
Jenner, 61, and Kardashian West, 37, have both appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians since 2007.
LOGAN PAUL
Nondisclosure agreements were signed in triplicate when a Robert Byrd-designed estate sold last month in Encino, but there’s little mystery as to who is the buyer. That’s because Logan Paul, a popular YouTube personality, has already produced multiple videos showing off his new home.
The viral-video maker paid $6.55 million for the contemporary-vibe house, which sits on an acre in the desirable Rancho Estates neighbourhood.
Built in the 1970s, the home was extensively renovated by developer Maxim Cherniavsky, who added reclaimed wood siding and polished concrete to the exterior while modernising some 808.2 square metres of interior space.
Among the eye-catching features are a marble-clad kitchen, a mixed-medium wet bar and an industrial-vibe steel staircase. A wine wall was built into the home’s classic brickwork. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
The backyard features a park-like setting filled with mature trees, lawns and a swimming pool. An outdoor kitchen and guesthouse complete the grounds.
The property has Hollywood ties, having been previously owned for about a decade by comic and actor Ryan Stiles. Oscar-winning makeup and visual-effects artist Stan Winston was another former owner.
Paul, 22, originally gained internet fame on Vine, Twitter’s six-second-video app that was shut down earlier this year. He is the brother of former Disney Channel actor and fellow YouTuber Jake Paul.
TIM DALY
Actor Tim Daly of Wings and Private Practice fame has sold his condominium in Santa Monica for $1.95 million.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in a modern loft-style building was quick to attract interest when it was listed for sale in August. The property’s sale was listed as pending a little more than a week after hitting the market, records show.
Open-plan living areas and an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry are among the features of the home, which has 160.7 square metres of living space. A sliding roll-top door leads to one of two private terraces.
High ceilings with exposed ductwork give the unit an industrial vibe.
Two covered parking spaces also were included.
Daly, 61, currently stars as Henry McCord on the CBS drama Madam Secretary. Last year, he appeared in the film Submerged.
He bought the property eight years ago for $1.075 million, records show.
