Inside Kylie Jenner’s home

After going on a real estate shopping spree over the last two years, Kylie Jenner of Keeping Up With the Kardashians has switched into sell mode.

The 19-year-old reality television star recently parted with a home in Calabasas for $3.15 million (Dh11.56 million) and now has one of her three homes in Hidden Hills on the market.

The house Jenner just sold was originally built in 2006 but was extensively updated during her two years of ownership.

Ebony-stained floors, designer tile work and crystal hardware are among the new-look details. One of the six bedrooms was refashioned as a “glam room.” Separate walk-in and accessory closets highlight the redone master suite.

A covered loggia, a swimming pool and spa, and a cabana with a bar/barbecue make up the grounds.

In nearby Hidden Hills, a ranch-style house that Jenner bought last year for $4.5 million is now for sale at a $900,000 markup — $5.4 million.

Sitting on more than 3 acres, the 2012-built home has 479 square metres of living space. Wide-plank flooring, wainscoting and light hues give the single-story floor plan an East Coast vibe.

Other features include a centre-island kitchen, a theatre room and a great room with wet bar. There are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

Jenner is largely known for her family’s reality series, which follows the lives of her siblings, in-laws and parents. Last year she launched the make-up line Kylie Cosmetics.

A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS FOR DECADES

The longtime Hollywood Hills home of late actress Doris Roberts has sold for $2 million.

Known as Casa de Glade, a nod to Roberts’ Clio Award-winning role in a Glade air freshener commercial, the Spanish Colonial-style house includes three bedrooms and five bathrooms in more than 343 square metres of space.

Living areas include an exposed-beam great room, a family room with a fireplace and a dining room that opens to the kitchen. The step-down den doubles as a speakeasy, thanks to the wood-panelled wet bar. There are two walk-in closets in the master bedroom.

Outdoors, a swimming pool and spa sit within a walled courtyard. Views from the quarter-acre knoll take in the city and coastline.

Roberts bought the home, built in 1927 for film-noir producer Hal Wallis, more than four decades ago for $138,000, records show.

Roberts, who died in 2016 at 90, had a six-decade career appearing in talk and variety shows, on game show panels and in movies. In more recent years, she had an ongoing role on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.

HOME COMES WITH COLORFUL BACK STORY

Actor Graham Phillips of The Good Wife fame has bought a home in Studio City for $1.6 million.

Designed by Harwell Hamilton Harris and built in 1939, the wood-clad Blair House is named for its original owners, Mary and Lee Blair. Mary Blair was an animator and concept artist for Walt Disney Co. and worked on Disneyland’s It’s a Small World attraction. Lee Blair, a watercolourist and animator, worked on the films Pinocchio, Fantasia and Saludos Amigos.

Set up from the street, among mature trees and landscaping, the multilevel house has picture windows and bi-folding doors that take in the leafy setting. Its 117 square metres include an open living room with a brick fireplace, an updated kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. A wine cellar sits off the front entry.

A stairway leads up to the artist’s former studio. Terraces and a rooftop patio create additional living space outside, and a funicular helps navigate the steep lot.

The property sold a year ago for $1.5 million, records show. It had been listed for $1.6 million.

Phillips, 24, has film credits that include Evan Almighty (2007), Goats (2011) and Staten Island Summer (2015). He will have a recurring role in the upcoming season of the CW’s Riverdale.

TOUCHED BY DEVELOPMENT

A Bel-Air mansion built on the site where singer and actress Della Reese and her husband, producer Franklin Lett, made their home for more than 30 years is for sale at $21.9 million.

Reese and Lett sold their 836-square-metre house three years ago for $7.5 million, and the midcentury residence was razed to make way for the new development overlooking Stone Canyon Reservoir.

Completed this year, the contemporary estate is oriented so that it takes in the entirety of the reservoir, according to listing agent Ernie Carswell of Teles Properties. Motorised walls of glass and broad picture windows make the most of the scenic views.

The 11,805 square feet of Bauhaus-vibe living was designed for small- and large-scale entertaining and features a glass-walled entry, living and dining rooms, chef’s and caterer kitchens and a media room. The kitchens, family room and wine cellar make up the open-plan space where Reese and Lett’s indoor swimming pool once stood.

The master suite comprises six rooms including a lavish bath and sitting room. There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in all.

A dining pavilion, grilling courtyard and various patios create additional living space outdoors. The zero-edge swimming pool — complete with a spa, waterfall feature and accent lighting — extends out toward the reservoir.

Reese, 86, gained fame as a gospel singer touring with Mahalia Jackson and released the hit single Don’t You Know?. She went on to have her own talk show, Della, in 1969 and 1970, and made regular appearances on various game shows and late-night talk shows. She starred in Touched by an Angel from 1994 to 2003.
