Warren Beatty and Annette Bening’s Beverly Hills Rental House

Even though the price is fuzzy, there’s an opportunity to the home of film stars, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. Some reports show the 10,594 square foot home is renting for $27,500 a month, while others show a discounted price of $25,000. So what’s a few thousand if you want to sleep in the same room that the iconic couple shared?

The couple purchased the Beverly Hills mansion they’re about to lease back in May of 1996, two years after an earthquake demolished their home on Mulholland Drive. However, through the years of repair, replacement, renovations and procurement of a few extra parcels surrounding the shaken property, they’re ready to move back to the original Mulholland Drive address, but still have the Beverly Hills mansion in their real estate portfolio.

Unlike many of the celebrity homes for rent, this one is devoid of any glitz and personal items that might attract a well-appointed fan. The décor and furnishings often promote a rental or block the lease signing. In this case, a little staging might have been useful. Maybe the Beatty/Bening team surmised that if there were furniture, they’d have to rent to those looking for a short one-month thrill and wanted a more permanent occupant. Either way, this is one of the many high profile homeowners renting their property rather than selling it in a depressed real estate market. Luckily, they probably have the cash to hold out until the market revives.

The interior is spacious and filled with arching doorways, parquet wood floors, a spiraling marble and wrought iron staircase and other amenities you’d expect in a high dollar home. There are his and hers walk in closet you could live in, if there were a bathroom and microwave in it. The many windows and French doors allow volumes of light to enter the rooms, making them less sterile and somber, something that can occur in large empty mansions.

If you’re a fan of the outdoors, you’ll love the swimming pool and spa area outside and the brick and natural paths through the woods. The sunroom on the second story with a balcony for those days the cool breeze draws you outside for your morning coffee, is another big draw for the rental. However, if you’re spending $25,000 to $27,500 a month, with the real estate prices interest rates lower, it would make more sense to purchase your own McMansion.

The monthly outlay would be only $700+ more than the lowest rental price and far under the highest price quoted. But then, there’s that pesky question of where to find the 10 percent down payment.

Kim Kardashian’s $4.8M Beverly Hills Home

[one_fourth]Price: $4,800,000[/one_fourth]

Say what you will about the reality show star Kim Kardashian, but don’t say she has bad taste in home decorating. While her new home isn’t new anymore and the reports about the price she paid vary from $3.5 to $4.8 million, it would be hard to find a home as well decorated as hers. Her 4,000 square foot abode comes complete with five bedrooms and four and a half baths. It sits in Beverly Hills in a cul-de-sac and has features both the outdoor enthusiast and indoor privacy lovers would cherish.

This Mediterranean style home has a fairy tale entrance with swirling topiary and a gated entrance. In the back it offers an outdoor living area that would make you want to sit all night and watch the stars. The area offers an intricately designed fireplace and tile flooring, with draperies to pull around to keep in the heat on a chilly night.

Besides the sitting area, the back yard contains an outdoor barbeque, which would make any woman green with envy. It’s not you’re standard brick-chimney smoker but a fully appointed kitchen with the same tiled flooring as the sitting area. If offers not only a stainless steel dishwasher, but also the top of the line stainless barbecue smoker built in to a tan granite counter.

The interior of the home is also as well decorated and not overly glitzy. The entryway is huge and gives the Mediterranean feel with deeper toned woods, white columns and wrought iron. While the wrought iron stair rail keeps with the Mediterranean theme, I far prefer wood, but then that’s a personal preference, not a decorating faux pas.

The bedrooms are spacious. In fact, one has a lounging area. These are simple bedrooms and nothing to write home about, unlike the sitting area surrounding the white fireplace or the open plan kitchen that opens to the outdoors and a massage area.

This tastefully decorated home with a waterfall, pool and personal screening room has ample space for the semi-celebrity to entertain, and yet has many areas that are perfect for solitude and reflection, something she may have been doing quite a bit of this year.

Taylor Swift Buys Beverly Hills Real Estate

2 Replies

[one_fourth]Price: $3,550,000[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Size: 2,826 sq ft[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Bedrooms: 3[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth_last]Bathrooms: 4[/one_fourth_last]

[box] Happy belated birthday to Taylor Swift who has plunked down $3.5 million dollars to lay claim to a relatively modest home in Beverly Hills. No Clampett mansion for this country songbird. The 3 BR/4 bath house is going to be a laid back retreat for the singer whenever she happens to be staying in the LA area.[/box]

This makes the young country star the proud owner of at least 3 multi-million dollar real estate properties at the ripe age of 21.

Just two years ago the then 19 year old Swift shelled out close to $2 million to snag an upscale Nashville penthouse, and earlier this year the pop chart cutie purchased yet another $1million+ home in Tennessee for her parents.

Her latest real estate purchase is located in Franklin Canyon where everyone’s privacy is respected by all residents. The homes are mostly low key in appearance and blend into the wooded landscapes. However one can assume that the interior of Swift’s home will be as elegantly furnished and appointed as any high-end LA estate.

There is a gated driveway (naturally) that brings you to the main house. The driveway also keeps the garage and guest house separated from the main residence. At the present time there is gravel in the driveway, but who knows if Swift will appreciate this ‘noisy’ reminder of her ‘country’ roots.

Can you believe that this LA house was actually described as a Cape Cod Colonial? I mean really-a Cape Cod style house in chic Beverly Hills? Guess this down home, relaxing (East Coast) home design really tugged at Taylor’s heart strings.

The lot is almost 1.5 acres in size which is highly desirable in the Beverly Hills area. In fact 1.5 acres is considered an ‘estate’ in almost any residential area of California.

Swift will enjoy a formal dining room (that includes a bay window stretching from ceiling to floor); a kitchen featuring wood and glass design elements; and a living room with an eye-catching fireplace. There is also a smaller room that has been designed for use as a combination office/library. For entertaining purposes Taylor will be able to make good use of the built in bar area that sits 3.

The covered terrace in the back yard features a fireplace, and there are some brick stairs that offer access to the tree lined hills that are at the rear of the property. All things considered this young country/pop songstress is definitely proving that she is still ‘a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll’. You show the world the true fierceness of girl power, Miss Swift!

Sandra Bullock Buys Beverly Hills Mansion

[box] Ditch the man and buy a mansion seems to be the number one highlight in Sandra Bullock’s playbook. This millionaire actress already owns several homes but apparently has room in her portfolio ‘closet’ for one more ‘little’ purchase.[/box]

Sandra Bullock has long been listed among the top Hollywood powerhouse stars and her personal net worth is said to be in excess of $120 million bucks. With deep pockets and a toddler in hand Bullock can easily afford to live where she likes, and right now she is liking Beverly Hills, California just fine.

This latest piece of real estate cost the award-winning actress nearly $23 million dollars. The property in question is a 7 bedroom, 8 bath estate that provides more than 8000 sq. ft. of living space. This is more than enough room for Bullock and her son to create their own private world, safe from prying eyes and nosy reporters.

Lead glass windows; an enormous swimming pool; a work-out room and fitness center; and the Tudor architectural style are a few of the special features. The kitchen is outfitted to meet the demands of any true gourmet chef. Even the landscaping of this magnificent is meticulously detailed and ‘designed to impress’.

Interestingly enough you will not find the star’s name listed on the real estate documents. However records do show that the entity listed as the buyer is working expressly for Sandra Bullock.

This fabulously gated estate includes 4.1 acres of land, a 4 car garage and residences for any live-in staff members.

Bullock can add this choice piece of real estate to the list of homes she owns that includes a beachfront abode on Tybee Island; a New Orleans residence and a small 3 bedroom bungalow located near the famed Chateau Marmont in LA.
