Real (estate) housewives mix it up
When it comes to the “Real Housewives” franchise, the drama isn’t limited to the television screen. Various cast members often provide real estate fodder, especially recently.
In Venice, Stephanie Hollman of “The Real Housewives of Dallas” has sold a newly transformed home for $5.61 million. That’s $625,000 over the asking price and nearly $4 million more than what Hollman and her husband, Dallasbased businessman Travis Hollman, paid for the property two years ago.
The 4,572-square-foot house, renovated by Venice-based home builder Kim Gordon, makes the most of indoor-outdoor living. Towering steel-framed windows bring in views of various outdoor spaces and leafy grounds; a rooftop patio tops the five-bedroom home.
Switching over to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” personality Lisa Vanderpump has made a move on a smaller scale. Vanderpump, whose credits also include the spinoff series “Vanderpump Rules,” has paid $630,000 for a condominium in West Hollywood.
The two-bedroom unit has a sophisticated vibe, with vibrant hues, decorative wallpaper and a range of tile work. An updated kitchen, a living room with a fireplace and two renovated bathrooms lie within nearly 1,000 square feet of living space. Two parking spaces were included in the sale.
Over on “The Real Housewives of Miami,” Lea Black and her husband, attorney Roy Black, have put their home in Hollywood Hills West up for sale at $2.895 million.
Built in 1959 and since renovated, the midcentury home has a polished look, with vibrant marble floors, mirrored walls and contemporary fixtures. Walls of floor-toceiling windows bring in views extending from downtown to Santa Catalina.
The 3,536-square-foot house was designed for entertaining and has open common areas, a family
room with a wet bar, and a screening room with tiered seating. A spa-like bath done in decorative tile highlights the master suite.
Terrace balconies extend from each level of the home, extending the living space outside.
Steven Spreafico of Coldwell Banker and Barry Peele of Sotheby’s International Realty are the listing agents for the Blacks’ residence.
Shokoh Nasab of Keller Williams Realty held the listing for the condo. Jeffrey Hobgood represented Vanderpump in the sale.
Justin Alexander of Halton Pardee + Partners had Hollman’s listing. Tami Pardee, also of Halton Pardee + Partners, represented the buyer.
