Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are deemed as one of the most impressive contenders in the celebrity real estate market. The duo have been recognized for their frequent involvement in purchasing, renovating, and selling homes. The iconic talk show host has reportedly owned 20 properties since 2003. Recently, DeGeneres and de Rossi were reported to be gravitating further from the bustling city lifestyle selling their $45 million Beverly Hills mansion, their last remaining property in Los Angeles. Now, however, the celebrity couple are once again adding to their Californian catalog with the purchase of a new Beverly Hills abode for $8.5 million.

Built in 1961 by famed architect Robert Skinner, the home is often mistaken as the “Rowan estate” due a misspelling of the original commissioner, banker David H. Rowen and his wife, Shirley. In 1967, the property was purchased by architect Bruce D. Becket who owned it for 45 years. In 2012, talent agent Gregory Cavic and his wife, Jessica, purchased the residence for $3.5 million. Since then, the space has been completely restored by architect John Bertram and designer Sarah Shetter. Now, the half century old Beverly Hills home is in Ellen’s ownership.

Located in the posh community of Hidden Valley Estates, DeGeneres and de Rossi’s newfound property spans 4,614 square feet with five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The mid-century offers decorative elements of terrazzo flooring, wood finishes, vintage details, and redwood tongue and groove siding. The open floor plan highlights floor-to-ceiling windows and glass walls for a comfortable and airy atmosphere. The living space features built in bookshelves, a distinctive light fixture, and plentiful sunlight. Leading from the living room rests the chef’s kitchen equipped with Douglas fir cabinets, Calacatta Gold salt marble countertops, and casual dining area. Also adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room perfect for entertaining. Stepping outside, the expansive near half acre exterior presents a courtyard entry and in-ground pool. Additionally, the lush greenery, trees, and gardens are designed by Judy Kameon of Elysian Landscapes.

In 2018, popstar Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson were involved in a whirlwind romance when they began dating in May, got engaged in the weeks following, and moved into a luxurious apartment complex in West Chelsea. The chic space seemed fitting for the public duo as the building was deemed one of the most luxurious in New York City. The property had reportedly been on and off the market since 2015 with an unwavering asking price of $16 million. Since the celebrity couple split in October of 2018, Grande has said “thank u, next” to her former relationship and residence. She has now amassed an impressive real estate portfolio with contemporary mansion in the Hollywood Hills, a $9 million Bird Streets home, and a $6.7 million Montecito estate purchased from Ellen DeGeneres. Recently, the two-time Grammy winning vocalist tied the knot with real estate agent Dalton Gomez in an intimate ceremony at her Montecito home.

Built in the winter of 2017, the New York City apartment complex formerly home to Grande and Davidson was designed by the late renowned architect Dame Zaha Hadid. The lavish custom decor consists of 10-foot-wide motorized windows, 10-foot-high ceilings, distinctive curved glass, and lacquered wall paneling. With 4,023 square feet of living space, Grande’s former unit includes five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The interior layout presents an ultramodern kitchen equipped with double dishwashers, double refrigerators, a wine refrigerator, a steam oven, and a sculptural island with beveled marble. Leading from the contemporary kitchen, the home offers a spacious family room and entertainment area with a bright and airy atmosphere. Stepping outside, the unit also features a 1,361 square foot terrace with picturesque views of the Empire State Building and bustling cityscape below.

The extravagant apartment complex with 39 units presents a lifestyle of privacy and luxury. Additional amenities consist of a skylit swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and the city’s first private IMAX theater. The price of this property also includes two parking spaces worth $700,000 each. Located directly over the High Line in West Chelsea, this lavish residence is mere moments from Hudson River Park as well as a multitude of shopping and dining options in the city’s most coveted neighborhood.

This property was listed with Million Dollar Listing: New York star Steve Gold. The buyer was represented by Phillip Salem of Compass.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are no strangers to the real estate business as they are frequently involved in purchasing, renovating, and selling homes. Since 2003, the talk show host has reportedly owned 20 properties. DeGeneres and de Rossi currently appear to be gravitating towards the Montecito beach town as they have bid farewell to their Beverly Hills mansion for $45 million, their last remaining property in Los Angeles. Within the past year, the celebrity duo purchased two separate properties in Santa Barbara. The newest addition to their real estate catalog is a petite bungalow style residence purchased at a price of $2.9 million. The nearby community is also home to other renowned names such as Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Ariana Grande, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey and Rob Lowe.

A short distance from Butterfly Beach, DeGeneres and de Rossi’s newfound residence spans 1,691 square feet and less than an acre of land. The single-story, midcentury modern style home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The humble abode highlights a seamless indoor-outdoor flow with glass doors and walls fitting for California. The sleek minimalist kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, cherry wood cabinetry, and stone center island. The cooking area leads to a sun-drenched living room with fireplace. Down the hall, the primary suite is privately tucked away and offers a walk-in closet, Bali-esque bathroom with freestanding tub, and sliding glass doors leading to a spacious patio. The home also includes a second bedroom to accommodate guests. Stepping outside, the courtyard presents a fire pit, a serene fountain, and al fresco dining area for entertaining. The abundant lush landscape and exterior space offers room for a pool or guesthouse as noted in the listing.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi have officially sold their Beverly Hills home for $47 million. The home was put on the market a month ago for an asking price of $53.5 million, yet the couple still managed to make a decent profit.

DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased their Beverly Hills home from Maroon 5’s lead singer Adam Levine back in May 2019 for $42 million. The 10,376-square-foot property has undergone substantial renovations while under the ownership of DeGeneres and De Rossi, on top of $7 million worth of upgrades made by Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo. The traditional-ivy covered home features five bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, with plenty of modern touches throughout the residence.

The property has a stainless-steel-covered kitchen, a sunlit two-story front foyer which leads into a 50-foot living room with a stone fireplace and white plaster walls, a family room, and a formal dining room with a bar. The upstairs suite spans 2,000 square feet with a private terrace and en suite bathroom. Other amenities include a resort-like pool with a spa, an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a fire pit, a sunken tennis court, a paneled library, a gym and a screening room. The property also has a guest house.

DeGeneres and de Rossi are notorious for their real estate portfolio. The couple, who has owned over 20 homes throughout the years, are known for flipping their real estate purchases and reselling them shortly after. DeGeneres’ interest in real estate was inspired by her father and her childhood. Growing up, her family often rented properties but never actually owned a home. This inspired DeGeneres to buy her own property when she was finally able to afford it. Together, the couple share a passion for architecture and decorating, opting to try new styles and aesthetics with each property added to their portfolio.

The listing was held by Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency.

Adam Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, have purchased an El Miraval estate in Montecito, CA for $22.7 million.

The Maroon 5 front-man and his supermodel wife are yet another celebrity couple to join the exclusive enclave that Montecito has to offer. The estate dates back almost a century and sits on 5.2 acres of property. The main households five of the property’s nine bedrooms, which includes a main suite with a private terrace.

The 12,000 square foot home has a Spanish Colonial villa-style, which is signature to architect George Washington Smith. Inside the home are massive living and dining spaces, with dark wood-beamed ceilings and Saltillo tile floors. There is also a chef’s kitchen with a huge center island, a movie theater and a wine cellar.

Outside has multiple covered and uncovered patio areas which is perfect for outdoor dining, as well as a putting green, tennis court and swimming pool. The property also includes a two-bedroom guesthouse, a one-bedroom garden cottage, and a detached five-car garage which also includes another guest bedroom.

This is not the only celebrity real estate movement in the high-end market of Montecito. Last year, singer Ariana Grande purchased a $6.8 million home from TV star Ellen DeGeneres in the area.

The off-market transaction for the hillside property located at the end of a generous driveway is the latest addition by Grande to her real estate portfolio.

While the house is not too large in size (it's a 1,590 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage), the "Side to side" singer will have ample space in the 0.74-acre lot that encompasses three parcels, surrounded by tall hedges and trees for privacy, and with unobstructed views. The large swimming pool and redbrick patio add to the LA charm of the property.

Along with her fiancé Dalton Gomez, Grande will be able to give the home her personal touch. Last year, she purchased another home in the Hollywood Hills on Thrasher Avenue for $13.7 million, and followed that just a month later with an estate in Montecito. The latter was purchased from TV star Ellen DeGeneres for $6.8 million.

It's no secret that Ellen -America's beloved talk show host- is also a serial home renovator/buyer of residential real estate. Over the past decade, Ellen has amassed nothing short of a real estate empire and she continues to buy and sell luxury California properties, sometimes living in multiple houses per year, and making signifiant profits from renovating each of them. In describing her real estate adventures, Ellen emphasizes that her real estate gains are a result of her sheer enjoyment, any profit merely a by-product of her joy. "We buy a house and we love it, and we stay in it," said DeGeneres. "Then we get a little bored because we like a different style or different aesthetic — and I love furniture and decorating — so if I find something else, and we make money, why not move to another house?" Surely, words to buy by.

It appears there's nothing left for DeGeneres to do except shine some light on those home decor items that she personally prefers. And so, DeGeneres finally has. The television host has expanded her home collection brand to include lighting fixtures. “If you've ever stubbed your toe in the middle of the night, you know how important lighting is,” teases DeGeneres, whose eye for interior design seamlessly rivals her comedic wit. DeGeneres further elaborates, “Think of the rugs as peanut butter and the lighting as jelly—and then me as the bread, I guess.”

Hungry to get a taste of DeGeneres' new lighting collection? If so, keep reading and gobble up the new ED lighting collection -as well as some of last season's house items, made category-specific for you to easily choose what is most pleasing to you.

Lighting

Some light fixtures are Mid-century modern designs, with starburst silhouettes or Stilnovo-style shades. Others tend toward the rustic—like those simple linen shades—or the industrial, with galvanized pendants.

These lighting designs included in the ED Ellen DeGeneres Home Collection are the highly desirable items for 2019. “You can have a beautifully decorated room, but if it isn’t lit well with great fixtures, it can go totally unappreciated,” said DeGeneres.

 Bath

DeGeneres also has other home decor items that range from playful bath paraphernalia, to fluffy pillows, to geometric flat weaved rugs to the most adorable bed sheets. Light-hearted fun and playfulness are DeGeneres' starting design points.

Tabletop

DeGeneres' tabletop consists only of love. Accompanied by some fashionable blue and white plates upon which to serve culinary creations to loved ones.

Table Linens

DeGeneres' daily message -Be kind to one another- has been seamlessly incorporated into her home interior decor.

Rugs

It's time to take a magical carpet ride with DeGeneres. Without leaving the comforts of your home.

Bedding

DeGeneres' bedsheets, throws and blankets provide a warmth for you to wrap yourself up in.

Pillows & Throws

Simple, classic plus contemporary creates that Ellen Factor.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, you're able to share recipes that bring family and friends closer together, strengthening a bond that goes beyond any kitchen space.

Love. Happiness. Kindness. The DeGeneres design trifecta that guarantees a successful life, from the outside in.

The ED Ellen DeGeneres Home Collection is the interior home collection that brings Ellen home to you -in EDTV style- even when your television is turned off. The next time that you watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show, do so in EDTV: sitting on your oversized couch with ED's love pillows, using ED's all-white kitchenware to hold your chips and salsa. You can easily double dip. You'll surely be smiling and it won't be because of DeGeneres' jokes. The reasons will be your ED home decor selections that serve to bring effervescent playfulness, love, joy and luxury home to you.

The post Must-See Decor: Ellen DeGeneres’ Latest Addition To Her Home Collection appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

For many stars, acquiring pieces by famous designers is desirable, but they also want furniture that is comfortable and functional–just like everyone else!

Celebrity Favorite Furniture: The Couch

Celebrities are in love with this Jean Royére Polar Bear sofa. Jennifer Anniston has one in her Bel Air home. Kanye West has called it his "favorite piece of furniture."

The television star and home renovation wizard, Ellen DeGeneres, has also expressed her favoritism for the curved couch by Jean Royére.

The French designer Jean Royère, who started designing furniture for his mother in Paris at age 29, has had a hit with this rotund velvet sofa from the time he displayed it in Art et Industrie’s exhibition “La Résidence Française.” Everyone from French politicians to the Shah of Iran ordered one in the 50's and 60's.

Now, it appears to be enjoying a resurgence in popularity with American celebrities. It appears that great design never goes out of style.

Celebrity Favorite Furniture: The Chair

Celebrities with homes in upstate New York often find time to pop into FINCH, a vintage furniture store in Hudson.

Liv Tyler appreciates the curated collection of mid-century modern furniture available at this charming shop.

Swivel chairs have been a popular choice in celebrity homes ever since legendary interior designer William Haines filled Hollywood homes with them for three decades.

This 1970's bent plywood "Mr. Chair" by George Mulhauser was manufactured in Massachusetts by Plycraft. The molded shell makes it extremely comfortable while being freshly upholstered in forest green.

Celebrity Favorite Furniture: The Console

Celebrities in New York rave about Dmitriy & Co, a working design studio and appointment-only showroom in Chelsea. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds own several of their pieces, including tables and a sofa.

This anamorphic console by Asher Israelow is a true stunner in their showroom. The designer got the idea for this piece from 15th Century anamorphic projection-a way artists used to pass secret messages within their paintings. In much the same way this handcrafted solid walnut console with brass inlay hides geometries.

Celebrity Favorite Furniture: The Coffee Table

This Milo Teak Coffee Table is owned by Marc Anthony and sits on a terrace in his Dominican compound.

The table is made from a harvested teak root in Indonesia, then handcrafted by Javanese artisans who fit it together like an intricate puzzle.

Owners like how it can be displayed on any side for different looks and to perfectly fit a variety of interior or exterior spaces.

Celebrity Favorite Furniture: The Dining Table

Jessica Chastain is among the celebrity owners of this Heiress Dining Table $15,285 by Ralph Lauren Home. The Georgian Revival round top adds a royal air to any formal dining room.

An observant eye will notice the detail of the lion's paw feet. Crafted from select hardwoods with a rich Mahogany finish.

Celebrities Who Design Their Own Furniture

For some stars, hiring a designer or even hunting for furniture pieces themselves is still too hands off.

Brad Pitt worked for four years with Designer Frank Pollaro to craft the Pitt-Pollaro collection.

Displayed in a Chelsea gallery in 2012, the collection consists of limited-edition, signed and numbered beds, chairs, tables, and even a tub.

According to the collection's description, the pieces were all designed by Pitt, built by Pollaro, and made in the USA.

One of their first collaborations was a bed. Made of unique wood, nickel, and farm-raised stingray skins, the bed incorporates convenient moveable bedside tables.

Justin Timberlake teamed up with interior designer Estee Stanley in 2012 to produce a line of home goods that includes bar stools, tabletops, and rugs.

Timberlake described the process as staring at hardware for hours and used a simple reference point to focus his designs, “If we wouldn’t put it in our homes, we’re not going to ask people to put it in theirs,” he says.

The post Take A Seat! Here Are Some Furniture Pieces Celebrities Love appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres is not shy about her passion for house flipping. It's "really a genuine passion of mine, not just a business venture," she told PEOPLE in 2015.

That passion has led Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi to purchase and re-design over a dozen homes in the last twenty years.

Ellen's 2015 book, Home, showcases her interior design work over the years. Her love of homes began young when she used to wander through listings with her real estate agent Mother. She told QVC, “I got to see how other people decorated, and for whatever reason, I was drawn to that."

There's a reason insiders refer to Ellen as "The real estate queen of Hollywood." In 2005, Ellen bought a 4,000 square foot, 5 bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills for $6.5 million, she packaged it with another nearby property and sold it for $10 million in 2007. Then, she purchased the same property again in 2014 for $8.75 million–briefly rented it to Nick Jonas, then sold it in an off-market deal for $9.9 million. As if netting 3.5 million the first time wasn't enough, Ellen added another million-plus in profit after selling it a second time.

One of Ellen's most rustic and romantic homes is “The Villa” a Santa Barbara terra-cotta and tile manse that looks like it came straight out of a vineyard in Tuscany. Designed in 1930 by architect Wallace Frost (who spent time living in Italy) the 10,500-square-foot estate has 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 9 fireplaces a tennis court, pool, and guest villa. Ellen and Portia purchased the 16-plus acre property in 2013 for $28.8 million and sold it this month for $34 million– clearing just over $5 million.

Ellen's designs always fit the style of the home she's selling, but one furniture piece that appears prominently in many her homes is the Cité side chair by Prouvé.

Jeremy Renner

The Avengers and The Hurt Locker star formed a partnership with Kristoffer Winters to buy and sell over two dozen Southern California homes.

When it comes to re-designing a space, Jeremy makes it clear this is more than a hobby for him, "you have to be all in. There's no half-assing it," he told Robb Report in 2016.

Jeremy loves the problem-solving aspect of working within a budget and meeting time constraints to create something beautiful and profitable.

He advises making a home clean and inviting to whoever might want to buy it, by using neutral colors on walls and in furniture selection. Try using throw pillows and a painting on the wall to add a pop of color.

In the early days, Renner lived in most of the homes he was working on. He bought his first mid-century-modern Nichols Canyon house for $640,000 in 2002. He sold that one in a few months for $900,000. Now, he and Winters have graduated into bigger renovation projects with massive paydays.

Those early sales seem like chump change compared to one of Renner's biggest flips. He purchased a drab home in Holmby Hills in 2010 for $7 million. After some serious beautification–Jeremy sold that property for $24 million in 2013. That sale put more money in Jeremy's pocket than playing a Marvel superhero.

Vanilla Ice

Rob Van Winkle, who went by the well-known moniker "Vanilla Ice" during his early '90s rap career has been netting big profits as a house flipper for the past two decades.

The real estate entrepreneur has hosted the DIY networks successful series The Vanilla Ice Project for seven seasons.

Rob focuses on the Palm Beach Florida market–an area he knows extremely well. “A lot of the areas that got hit hard during the housing downturn are some of the first areas to come back out of it because they were desirable then and they're desirable now," he told CNBC in 2012.

One project that Vanilla Ice seems especially proud of is the completely renovated and custom designed estate he calls, "The Dream House." The deepwater estate has the latest technology throughout, a private beach, and Jet-Ski lift off the dock. It sold last year for $3.8 million. As Rob would say, that's, "nice, nice, baby!"

Among the features home buyers look for, Rob mentions feng shui, vaulted ceilings, eight-foot doors, and lush backyards on properties close to airports, restaurants, and shopping.

It takes experience and patience to become a successful house flipper. Getting to know an area, investing in attractive interior design, and knowing what buyers are looking for are a few of the first steps towards flipping right.

The post This Is What You Call A Flip! Ellen DeGeneres, Jeremy Renner, Among Top Luxury House Flippers appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Amongst the plethora of famous faces hawking their goods at a mall near you are the following:

Ellen DeGeneres

Comedienne and dedicated house flipper, Ellen has furniture, rugs, tableware and more and will presumably use them to stage her homes. In a partnership with Thomasville, Loloi and Royal Doulton respectively, DeGeneres opts for sophisticated designs, which focus on earth tones and textures.

“I’ve loved home design for as long as I can remember,” the entertainer told Elle Decor. “I know what I like, so designing it made sense for me.”

Joanna Gaines

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a stretch. The photogenic half of Fixer Upper is bound to have her own line of home goods. These include wallpaper, paint and rugs available at Pier 1. In addition she has a huge destination retain store, Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas.

Tracee Ellis Ross

The Black-ish star has a clothing line available at JC Penny with a few home accessories thrown in — such as throw pillows, dessert dishes and high ball glasses.

Catherine Zeta Jones

Linking up with QVC, the Welsh actress has a line of bedding, bath towels, tables and rugs called Casa Zeta Jones.

Justin Timberlake

Singer, musician and actor, Timberlake curated home decor line with mydomaine.com editor-in-chief, Estee Stanley. “I like very clean, almost modern architecture, and the obstacle with something like that is making it extremely warm, because it doesn’t naturally lend itself to that,” Timberlake said in an interview with Stanley and Elle Decor.

Added Timberlake: “With everything we do together, we try to get the juxtaposition right. To make pieces and rooms that are multifaceted, that blend different genres of architecture and design.”

Mandy Moore

The actress has a collection of art prints monogrammed glasses, throw blankets and other decor items for Shutterfly.

Lenny Kravitiz

The bohemian rocker/actor has always been known for his ’70s-inspired music and fashion. His interior designs echo these tastes. Don’t think pure hippy style though, think upscale penthouses and Studio 54 glamour, too. In a collaboration with Crate and Barrell’s CB2, dubbed CB x Kravitz Design, the range includes tables, chairs, lamps, rugs, pillows and more. It’s inspired by the singer's many travels with prices that are anything but retro.

Kravitiz also has his own interior design firm, and has added his eclectic flair to many well-known hotels and condo complexes.

Reese Witherspoon

It seems Reese Witherspoon is everywhere these days, acting, heading up an Oprah style book club, producing movies and designing clothes. It’s the latter, which has also spawned her foray into home accessories that includes tableware, candles, blankets and more.

Brad Pitt

A long time lover of architecture, the actor formed the Make It Right organization to help rebuild New Orleans housing after Hurricane Katrina. Now he’s teamed up with furniture maker Pollaro to introduce a line, which includes seating, tables, a marble bathtub and a bed.

Eva Longoria

Tapping into the Latin market, JC Penny has a bedding and bath collection with the actress.

Drew Barrymore

You guessed it —  pillows, shower curtains and artwork are featured in her collection with Shutterfly.

Rumor has it that Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi snapped up Brody House, one of the most unique homes in the LA area. Constructed in 1949 by A. Quincy Jones, the home has been updated by designer Stephen Stone.

The clean, modern architectural features make this space a real stunner, though there’s one other feature that makes this home particularly special. Perhaps the home’s most unusual feature is its location…right next to the Playboy Mansion!

DeGeneres reportedly purchased the space at $39.88M, and for the money, she’s getting lush green lawns with mature trees, a covered patio lounge area, a beautiful in-ground pool, a tennis court, outdoor water features, a rooftop deck and more (not to mention some party animal neighbors)!

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s new Montecito house is gorgeously decorated and perfect for the real estate power couple, featuring designs by John Saladino.

With a mixture of vintage pieces and modern accents, the space is homey yet modern with a sense of antiquity. The only departure from this trend within the home is in the kitchen, where totally modern designs prevail.

Their outdoor space has an equally old-world feel with roman columns, gorgeous gardens and old stone walls.

Seacrest is currently in escrow to buy the mansion for $37 million. DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi had been trying to sell the property last year for $60 million before ultimately listing it for $49 million.

Since 2007,  the couple has developed the estate by piecing together several different parcels to complete the property. They were married at the home in 2008.

It includes a main home of 9,200 square feet and three guest houses. It also features a swimming pool, covered dining areas and a koi pond. Privacy is at a premium: the gated property is on a street of its own.

This is Seacrest's second celebrity home purchase. He's moving out of a Mediterranean villa he purchased from Kevin Costner in 2006. He recently put the property on the market for $12 million after initially putting out feelers to sell the home for $15 million back in 2010.
