Kathy Griffin Lists Bel-Air Estate
Kathy Griffin’s impressive Mediterranean-style Bel-Air estate is officially on the market. The comedian, who snapped up the 13,377-square-foot home for $10.5 million in 2016, stands to make a substantial earning off the sale, given that it’s currently listed at $15.995 million. According to the Los Angeles Times, Griffin hasn’t made any substantial changes to the house under her ownership, and it’s likely because there wasn’t a whole lot that needed improving.
Built in 2003, the place was renovated shortly before Griffin purchased it and features a welcoming open floor plan with glossy marble and wood-plank floors, pocketing doors, and wood-beamed ceilings. There are a total of 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms spread out across two stories (connected by an elevator), as well as a chef’s kitchen, a wine cellar, a home theater, a family room with a wet bar, an office with a fireplace, and a 25,000-gallon infinity-edge swimming pool.
Upstairs, the main suite is generously proportioned, with a sitting area, a marble-fronted fireplace, and a cavernous en suite bathroom with a deep-soaking tub, double vanity, and glass-fronted steam shower. “I call it the chamber,” Griffin previously told Hello magazine of the suite, which she considers her favorite area of the house. “There are often times when I’m in bed watching my news, the door’s open and [my husband] Randy’s right there in the sitting room watching sports. Or we sit in bed together and watch silly shows. It feels like a sanctuary. And the view is beautiful.” To wit: a massive 1,100-square-foot balcony extends off the main suite, which has unobstructed canyon views.
Another thing the Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins: My A-Z Index author liked about living there was her former next door neighbors, Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West. After they moved away, Griffin joked to Hello, “I would probably still text Kim and say, ‘Can you messenger a cup of sugar?’ Then she’d probably text back from God-only-knows-where on the planet.”
