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.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom Rent $7.5K Luxury Condo in Dallas

Leave a reply

While buying real estate may be a good move for some couples, it isn’t if you’re a forward for the Dallas Mavericks with the potential for a shorter time with the team than expected. While Lamar Odom and reality show wife who’s allegedly a non-Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, looked for homes in Dallas, they decided instead to rent a condo in the W Dallas Victory Hotel & Residences instead for the sum of $7,500 a month. The couple still owns a house in Tarzana, California, close to the home of the L.A. Lakers and Lamar’s previous employer, so the decision to rent seems quite logical.

While the new condo is not nearly as expansive as their Tarzana, California mansion, it has other perks that make it perfect for this couple. It comes with all the amenities such as a zero-edge swimming pool, 24 hour security with the works, a doorman and controlled access, a lap pool, Bliss spa, two fitness centers, an entertainment lounge and concierge services. Oh, did I mention it also has a VIP access to Craft, whose chef is Tom Colicchio, a judge on the program “Top Chef.” I see a lot of takeout Roasted Guinea Hen and black truffles in Khloe’s future.

The interior of the apartment offers a grand view due to the floor-to-ceiling windows in this corner condo. It even has automatic window shades. If you’ve never experienced them before, once you do, they’ll keep you occupied for an entire day…unless of course you have a social life.

There’s an open plan main living area where the living room, dining room and kitchen are only separated by your imagination and a few area rugs. While the open plan works for the glass-enclosed area, the kitchen is a bit dated and there’s a Buddha head on top of the cabinetry, which simply doesn’t belong. If the condo came furnished, let’s hope Khloe moves it to a less conspicuous place.

The condo is more of a bachelor’s dream, but certainly a wise decision on the part of the couple. It has a wet bar, billiard nook, wine storage area and a snack counter. The male décor may be because Mack Hicks, the son of Tom Hicks, owner of the Texas Rangers, owns the condo. While the slate flooring throughout and the bathrooms tiled in Mother of Pearl adds a good touch, the biggest plus is that the location is within walking distance to Lamar’s new job at the American Airlines Center.

Paris Hilton Los Angeles Rental House

[one_fourth]Price: $16,000[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Size: 3,000 sq ft[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Bedrooms: 4[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth_last]Bathrooms: 3.5[/one_fourth_last]

You can now live in the home of a reality show queen. That’s right, the people who purchased Paris Hilton’s home for $3,865,000 after it was listed only 10 days, are now willing to share their prize with the public. Originally, they had an asking price of a mere $20,000 a month, but had no one inquiring evidently because today…and today only…you can rent this little honey and be your own celebrity for a mere $16,000 a month.

While the home is beautiful on the exterior, it seems as though the new owners haven’t touched the décor. The listing states the interior is French Regency Hollywood Glamour and the exterior is Spanish. That can only mean they maintained the same décor the tabloid princess originally had in the house. Of course, the photos supplied by the rental agency also are a dead giveaway. It means lots’n’lots of shiny accents and pictures of Miss Paris all over the home.

While I like shiny, especially when I’m in my crown phase, the stripper pole in the middle of the living room is a bit over the top for me. In fact, if this factor rents the home, I’ll “chromize” our similar, but not so shiny pole in the basement to rent out the basement at a tidy sum. The pictures of Paris all through the home are also not my cup of tea, but then, someone loves her or she wouldn’t be the queen of the tabloids.

You could throw a great party outside by the pool, complete with cabanas or bring the entire family in for the weekend since there are four bedrooms in the main house and a separate guest quarters.

It also contains a chrome laden four-poster bed in one of those bedrooms that is quite dazzling and one of the features that might make renting this high cost home worthwhile, if you have nothing better to do with your money and are “hankering” to stay in the same home as a reality show and tabloid queen.

Pam Anderson Malibu Beach House Rental

1 Reply

[one_fourth]Price: $75,000/month[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Size: 2,650 sq ft[/one_fourth]

[one_fourth]Bedrooms: 3[/one_fourth]

Pamela Anderson is going to become a landlord. She’s put her Malibu Beach house up for rent at the price of $20,000 for a week or $75,000 a month. So clean out the couch cushions, break the piggy bank and dig through those jacket pockets and old purses and you might find enough to rent it for a day, or at least an hour and a half. She’s traveling so much these days and wants someone else to enjoy her “masterpiece,” as she calls it, and have a slow motion romp on the beach. (Remember the opening of “Bay Watch.”)

She listed her home on the Vacation Rental by Owner website (VRBO) noting it was pet friendly and the price included housekeeping services and a vegetarian chef for a little extra moola. Anderson decorated her home in honey-toned teak wood and white…just about everywhere, with a few accent colors thrown in for good measure. The photo quality shown is poor and it’s difficult to tell the dog from the bedding on one picture. Luckily, he has dark eyes and a mouth or you’d think the bed was unmade.

Despite her glitzy, blond appearance, it seems Anderson is a bit of a designer herself. She’s had many homes featured in top architectural publications. In fact, she co-designed this one with green architects Chryssanthou, Inc. From what you can make out from the pictures, she and her cohorts did create a beautiful beach house.

The home is in a gated community with 24-hour security, so you don’t have to worry about sightseers interrupting your vacation time. The exterior of the home and flooring, including the staircases and walls are all teak. The design is open space with the living room and kitchen blending as one.

Don’t worry about getting your money’s worth in the kitchen area, as every thing from the appliances to the cabinetry is top of the line. In fact, she even has push-activated drawers and cabinets.

There are a number of other amenities available for the renter. While it might be a kick to say you lived in Pamela Anderson’s home, played her baby grand and sat in the sauna watching television, even for just a week, your friends won’t believe you when you tell them you spent a few moments in the wigwam. The one that’s right next to the fig and avocado tree in the herb and vegetable garden. It would make a great tale for years to come, but for that privilege, there’s also a high price tag.
