Plus-size restored house is a fit for Cindy Crawford
LOS ANGELES — Cindy Crawford has gone shopping on Los Angeles’s Westside.
The model and her husband, businessman Rande Gerber, have bought a Beverly Hills home from OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and his wife, Genevieve, for $11.625 million US.
The Tedders worked with Alvarez Morris Architectural Studio to restore and expand the 1959 house, once owned by film producer Gregory Goodman. A bedroom and family room were added to the floor plan, and the bathrooms, fixtures and systems were updated. The original carport was replaced with a three-car garage.
The midcentury-modern-style house has 5,386 square feet of living space that includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a centre-island kitchen and a banquet-sized dining room set behind ornamental screen doors. A floor-toceiling fireplace/wet bar serves as a partition in the living room.
A pool and spa, a fire pit and a covered barbecue station, mature trees and lawn make up grounds of about one acre. A motor court sits beyond the gated front entrance.
Ryan Tedder, 38, is a founding member of OneRepublic. The pop-rock band has hits that include Counting Stars, Good Life and All the Right Moves. He has worked with Madonna, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé.
He and his wife bought the property four years ago from Goodman for $7.485 million. They are currently in the market for their next investment property.
Crawford, 51, took to modelling in her teenage years and has appeared on hundreds of magazine covers.
Gerber, 55, is a former model and a nightlife industry businessman. He cofounded the tequila brand Casamigos with actor George Clooney.
Two years ago, the couple, no strangers to flipping themselves, sold a Malibu home that they had renovated for $13.341 million.
They are currently seeking $60 million for their most recent project, a 3.2-acre compound in Malibu’s Encinal Bluffs.

Boxer Mayweather finds new corner in Beverly Hills
Fresh from his victory over mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has paid $25.5 million for a mansion in Beverly Hills.
The French Modern-style home, built in 1992 and renovated in 2015 by spec developer Nile Niami, is set on slightly more than half an acre. In addition to the 15,096-square-foot main house, there’s a guesthouse with a gym and 20-person theatre, a staff suite and a four-car garage. Black-and-white striped decking surrounds the pool and pool house.
The two-storey main house features eye-catching chandeliers, mirrored wall fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, a family room and a cocktail bar with a glassenclosed wine cellar. The library/den is finished in black wood cabinetry and moulding. A row of 10 French doors opens from the living room to the grounds. The master suite has dual bathrooms and a private terrace that overlooks the backyard. There are six bedrooms and nine bathrooms in all.
On top of the $25.5 million sale price, Mayweather paid $500,000 for the furnishings.
Mayweather, 40, announced his retirement from boxing two years ago, but returned to the ring last month and defeated McGregor, earning a $100 million purse.
Mayweather owns other property in Las Vegas and Miami.

Costumer takes a little bit off
Hollywood costume designer Susan Chevalier has dropped the price on her Venice beach house to $8.55 million, down from $9.245 million earlier this year.
The 3,023-square-foot compound, 50 steps from the beach, has gained a star quality of its own over the last four decades.
Oliver Stone shot part of his 1991 film The Doors on the property. The home has starred in commercials and TV shows such as Nip/Tuck.
The three-bedroom home, built in 1924, has an open floor plan with a gourmet kitchen and beamed ceilings. Bay windows let natural light into the living room and kitchen.
