D- lister lists her Bel- Air mansion

- By Neal J. Leitereg

Kathy Griffin is staging a sale in Bel- Air, putting her gated Mediterran­ean mansion on the market for $ 15.995 million. That’s about $ 5.5 million more than she paid for it four years ago.

The Emmy- winning comedian kept things mostly the same during her stay, as the 13,377- squarefoot home features grand living spaces with dramatic beams, pocketing doors and a host of balconies. The largest of the balconies extends from the primary suite, adding 1,100 square feet of space overlookin­g the surroundin­g mountains.

A gated driveway approaches the property, leading to a twostory entry with oval windows and wrought- iron accents. From there, arched doorways give way to common spaces such as a formal dining room, a dual- island kitchen and a family room with a wet bar.

Other amenities include a bonus room, wine cellar, movie theater and an office with a fireplace. Eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms complete the f loor plan, which includes an elevator.

A covered patio lines the back of the home, extending to a pavilion with a lounge, dining area, lawn and 25,000- gallon infinityed­ge pool. The property sits on just over half an acre.

Griffin won two Emmys for her Bravo reality show “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D- List,” and her comedy albums have been nominated for multiple Grammys. The 59- year- old has released more than 20 stand- up specials dating to the 1990s, including 2019’ s “A Hell of a Story.”

Her stay in the home wasn’t entirely drama- free. A year after she bought the place, a neighbor, KB Home Chief Executive Jeffrey Mezger, went on a profanity- laden rant against Griffin after her boyfriend called in a noise complaint against him to the Los Angeles Police Department. A security camera caught the audio, and after it surfaced online, Mezger apologized to the comedian.

Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
