In March of 2020, days before California’s stay at home orders were implemented, Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger purchased the classic Hollywood residence of Novogratz Castle for $8.5 million. The lavish space was initially listed last spring for $9.4 million by video game programmer Jeff Strain. However, Reedus and Kruger were able to acquire the historic home at a reduced price. The two actors have reportedly been together since 2016 and in 2018, purchased a townhouse in New York City. Now, the duo’s regal chateau in the Hollywood Hills is being listed on the market only a year after purchase. The current asking price for the grand castle is a $9.25 million. The reason as to why they are selling their posh residence is unknown.

Built in 1926, the Novogratz Castle spans a whopping 7,732 square feet with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The French Normandy-style home seamlessly blends a regal ambience of cathedral ceilings, crown moldings, and arched windows with modern hardwood floors, custom shelving, and black-and-white accent walls. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a marble island, state of the art appliances, and butler’s pantry. The luxe primary suite features a fireplace, spacious closet, balcony with French doors, and bathroom with unique glass shower and designer tile. The home’s updated amenities include an art media room, recording studio, arcade, bar, and gym. Stepping outside, the scenic exterior space offers a saltwater swimming pool, basketball court, chic patio under string lights, and terraced gardens with century-old trees and abundant foliage.

Wolf Amer, Jon Grauman, and Andrew Botto of the Agency hold the listing for this property.

Highlight quotes:

Cortney Novogratz: 

“It’s been a strange year we've all had, it's shown us that we can really go anywhere and even if we’re just there for a brief moment, we can set up a shop and bring our homes and love of houses all over. This is so important, now more than ever. People's homes are their sanctuaries, and their offices too. Everything revolves around our house, especially at this moment.” 

“Show the house as people really live in it, so you know, a bench, a hook with actual coats, the backpacks or a basketball. There are ways to make it feel lived in so that people can really visualize their own family moving, but still making it stylish and really beautiful. Plants are really important, they help to bring life into the house.”

“If you come to us it's about function and about beauty. Every place we've designed has been created with our family in mind, but we also want to keep falling in love, over and over, and so designs need to reflect that. They need to be sexy; all of those kinds of things are so important.” 

Robert Novogratz:

“When I think about designing, I always reference the restaurant Balthazar in New York City, because, there's probably better restaurants, there's probably better food, but when you walk into that restaurant with your girlfriend, your children, your grandmother, whoever it is, you feel like you’re more in Paris than in New York. It is an atmosphere. That's why with this pandemic, where all of these restaurants are closing down, Balthazar is one who survives. And it will always be around, because of its energy. And that's how a hotel and a home should be designed. When you walk into a home you want to feel happy, relaxed, and warm, and that is achieved through all the little touches.”
