Born as Nora Lum in Queens, New York, she has come a far way from the small railroad apartment in Brooklyn following her catapult into the limelight. The actress, comedian, and internet personality was once “scared” to invest in a larger space, but eventually moved to West Hollywood in 2019 where she purchased a $2.27 million townhome. Nearly two years later, she is now bidding farewell to her former residence listing it on the market for a slightly heightened price of $2.4 million. The presumed reason as to why she is selling her former home is that she recently purchased a stylish Bel-Air mansion for $3.5 million.

Awkwafina’s former West Hollywood home is a contemporary townhome spanning 3,500 square feet. The residence includes three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The loft-style living space offers three levels, a roof deck with spa, and dazzling views of the cityscape. The space opens to a living and dining area with a fireplace and glass doors leading to a balcony. The white, modern kitchen equipped with two-tone cabinets and stainless-steel appliances sits adjacent to the dining space with cathedral ceilings and a bright light fixture. Upstairs, the master suite features a spacious walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom with dual vanities and glassed-in shower. The modern space also offers two other ensuite bedrooms, large bonus room, kitchenette, and office with separate entrance. Other perks of the home consist of four balconies, a two-car garage, sound system with built-in speakers, and easy access to a plethora of restaurants and shops on the nearby Melrose Avenue.

Danny Brown with Compass holds the listing for this property.

Even prior to Jenner’s residence, the Hollywood home served as a humble abode to “A Quiet Place” actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. The married couple purchased the property in 2009 for a price of $1.6 million. Over the years, they implemented several renovations such as the updating the kitchen, in-ground pool, and adding a third floor and rooftop terrace. In July of 2016, the duo bid farewell to their former home and sold it to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kendall Jenner for $6.5 million.

In 2017, Jenner sold her LA home after only residing in it for a year due to stalking and burglary, presumably since there was no gate surrounding the property until recently. A 25-year-old man was arrested and accused of following Jenner up her driveway. Jenner also reported that $200,000 worth of jewelry was stolen. Most recently, the space has been home to marketing magnate Bill Guthy and his wife, cosmetics entrepreneur Victoria Jackson. They have recently listed their former residence on the market for a price of 8.5 million.

Built in 1958, the Hollywood home spans 4,800 square feet and includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The living room highlights floor-to-ceiling retractable windows and white-brick fireplace. Three steps up presents the dining room with built-in bar and copper countertop. The sleek white kitchen features an eight-burner stove, industrial hood, and large window overlooking the home's exterior grounds. Stepping outside, the space offers a pool, lounge area and outdoor kitchen. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite is equipped with a seating area, walk in closet, floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor terrace access, and bathroom with a stand-alone tub and two rain showers. The home emulates a rustic feel yet incorporates modern architecture with contrasting light wood floors and white brick. Additional perks of the home include a cinema room, recording studio, gym, and two-car garage.

Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency holds the listing for this property.

Here, members of the Haute Residence Network share their thoughts on the subject.

"Homeowners cannot match the networking influence or results of experienced real estate agents, even though we wish they could." - Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA.

"As experts in our field, a professional Realtor will know all the possible issues that can arise during a transaction and have the industry connections to get them resolved, so that collectively we can work towards a smooth closing. In a luxury market, my knowledge has come from years of experience, and investing in extensive luxury training to ensure that I am current and astute on things that all too often the homeowner may not think about. When you have to deal with wetlands, easements, open permits, property lines, warranties, previous history of the property, there are always variables that make it crucial to have that expert available to you. Also, in a low inventory market like we are currently seeing along the Emerald Coast, we have the ability to find properties through our spheres they would not be able to find on their own." - Hilary Farnum-Fasth, Broker, Owner, Corcoran Reverie, Scenic 30A area, FL

"Listing with a professional real estate agent gives the property endless marketing avenues that an owner would never be able to do. Through Sotheby’s I can network with agents basically all over the world and market a property in so many different markets." - Sandra Fiorenza, Miami Beach, FL.

“Your bottom line!  Stats are proven agents deliver a better net! Better systems, better marketing, better relationships, a better deal!” - Scott Goshorn, Brentwood, CA

“Experienced agents are skilled negotiators and understand what buyers want and what potential pitfalls lie ahead, so we can build a sales process that has a high probability of success.” - Cyd Greer, Napa Valley, CA.

"A trusted advisor delivers far beyond their fee in terms of ROI, time saved and quality of experience.” - David Hatef, Washington DC Metro area.

"Your Realtor can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in your local market, as well as the price and condition of competing properties. These are important factors in marketing your home and selling it for the best price. Statistics show that listing your home with a professional results in both a faster sale and more money for the seller." - Susan Ito, Dallas, TX.

“I am so proud of the City of West Hollywood.  Of all the Los Angeles regional townships, West Hollywood has been visionary in its development plan for the beautification of the famous Sunset Strip retail & restaurant locations. Impressive world-class hotels have located here. Parks and broad avenues have been created. West Hollywood is a joy.” - Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA.

"Malibu is still one of the most sought after locations in the world. I believe that prices will continue to increase as inventory is low. In 2020 we saw an influx of people moving to Malibu and I believe that people who have moved here have realized what an incredible place Malibu is." - Jeff Chertow, Malibu, CA.

“Montecito has seen exceptionally strong sales volumes in 2020 as the urban flight into our local communities continues. This, combined with increased Buyer activity from local homeowners, is expected to continue in the early part of 2021 and I see no reason for it to be otherwise.” - Cristal Clarke, Montecito, CA.

“Based on what has been happening as we close out 2020, I fully expect the Pasadena market to continue to thrive into 2021. Our median price just broke 1M and we are still seeing tight inventory, which is leading to multiple offers on many transactions at every price point! There is an influx of people wanting to live in Pasadena from the more western areas of LA because buyers typically can get more space, more house for their money, and a fantastic overall quality of life, all while still being minutes to everything.” - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

“November marked the 13^th consecutive month of very low inventory and it set an all-time record low of only 1.99 months of supply.  Buyers, especially from Los Angeles and San Francisco have created a record-breaking year in sales revenue in 2020.  I expect to see low supply and strong demand continue into 2021.” - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

“Just as the Spanish Flu gave birth to the Roaring Twenties, we feel the years ahead have many records that will be broken. Buyers who want to be in here have multiple residences and California Taxes aren’t any concern.” - Jeff Hyland, Bel-Air, CA.

“I am anticipating that 2021 will be the best year ever for Luxury Real Estate in Southern California. Normally December is a relatively quiet month! However, the Joyce Rey team is currently negotiating five properties between five and $20 million, which is an extraordinary number at any time! Both hope and optimism are evident with vaccines on the horizon! An improving economy and renewed focus on the home environment will spur residential investments in 2021!” - Joyce Rey, Beverly Hills, CA.

“With the new year upon us, we expect a continuing robust market in the greater South Bay. Luckily, real estate here has been hot for both the buyer and the seller during the 2020 pandemic. This has been largely due to our area's desirability in which to live, low inventory, and minimal new construction." - Cindy Shearin, South Bay area, CA.

“The overall Corona del Mar market has seen a 32% increase in sales for 2020 vs. 2019.  The year over year growth in Corona del Mar can be attributed in part to pent up demand following the initial pause caused by Covid-19, migration from dense urban metro markets, i.e. NY, LA, SF, and historically low-interest rates.  The foregoing factors have placed pressure on the already strained inventory.  For 2021, it appears the current pace will continue, unless and until inventory and demand are more in equilibrium.” - Timothy Norman Tamura, Corona del Mar, CA.

"We anticipate seeing current trends continue with a slight rise in home sales and home prices in most Silicon Beach areas - such as Westchester, Mar Vista and Playa Del Rey. Playa Vista home sales should also maintain similar levels in 2021 although prices behave a bit differently in that market as home and condo prices are seeing decreases year over year." - Kris Zacuto, Silicon Beach, CA.

Bamboo Floors Accent Chris Brown's Condo

Singer Chris Brown has placed his West Hollywood condo on the market.

Other than the ultimate buyer of the property, it appears nobody could be happier about the listing than Brown's neighbors. Residents say Brown has kept them up with loud parties, used the halls as a dog track and been disrespectful of other property owners.

After buying the property in early 2011, Brown lasted less than a year before moving out because of his relationship with his neighbors. Since then, the property has sat in pristine condition.

The $1.9 million condo features three bedrooms and three and a half baths on the top floor of the building. It has bamboo floors and a wrap-around terrace.

Two parking spaces come with the property, and even they had become a point of contention with neighbors. They said Brown was routinely using handicapped accessible spots, but they were the only spaces available at the time. Brown was refunded more than $15,000 in parking tickets he piled up using the spaces.
