When the renter of this $1.5 million condo in Beverly Hills, CA, moved in, the residence was stark, punctuated by dark hardwood floors and white walls. Over the years, she fastidiously transformed the cookie-cutter space into an old Hollywood sexy, glam retreat like no other.
She made it blush pink and crammed with Chanel-emblazoned decor, from the custom carpets to the jeweled lamps. It was the kind of place Barbie would live in if she ever decided to ditch the Malibu beach house.
The 2-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,100-square-foot condo hit the market after the tenant declined the option to buy.
When the real estate agent saw it, she said, “The design is so beautifully done, I thought there might be a market for it.”
She persuaded the owners to give her two weeks to sell the place as is. If it didn’t sell in that time, everything would come down and the condo would be restored to white walls and dark hardwood floors.
The listing photos showed elements of Hollywood Regency, ’60s-era influences, and an extreme dedication to over-the-top opulence.
Initially it’s hard to visually process this much decor.
There was also a love for all things Chanel that included decor with the fashion brand’s iconic logo of interlocking C’s.
Fabric-lined walls, faux fur, feathers, and adornments everywhere you look aren’t for every buyer.
But for a home shopper looking for a turnkey glam retreat, I doubt that they could find anything better. But, it didn’t sell. So, back to it’s original state it went.
And here’s how it looks. This is sad. I certainly wouldn’t pay $1,475,000 for this bland box or rent it for $5,800 mo.
The only thing they left was the wallpaper in the 2nd bath.
