Gorgeous, wouldn't change a thing save for that blue bathroom.
But look at Lana del Rey's cabin right after for contrast. Dear God. How is that even safe for her to live in? Anyone can climb in.

She's clearing out for Clearwater. The house is all too much like a Vegas imitation of the real thing. And whose idea were the two wooden picnic tables on the terrace?

That is the funniest real estate write-up I have ever read. Like Elsa Klensch describing the levels of Hell.
[quote]Across the driveway from the house there’s swimming pool and pool house under the sun-dappled shade of Eucalyptus trees and just below the front of the house sits a giant, unsightly cage where Alley houses her dozen or more pet ring-tailed lemurs who are looked after by a full-time animal caretaker and have been known to annoy her neighbors with their blood curdling screams.

I like the tiled bathroom, don't like pedestal sinks though. Love the games room. The write up is very snarky. Is that their usual MO or are they pissed at her for some reason?

The exterior is great but the interior is decorated like a Mexican whorehouse.
Is that a celebrity thing or does everyone in California have zero taste?

It's amazing. I actually kind of love the tile, too. I would keep it as is, vivid and whimsical.

It's a beautiful house and the grounds are lovely, but I hate the decor. The kitchen is OK. I think I remember her remodeling her kitchen on Oprah to what it is today as a kick start to her new diet.
R9, not everybody has bad taste. I really like Reese Witherspoon's house. See video below. I love Spanish architecture juxtaposed with clean interiors.

She decorated it herself. She used to do some amateur decorating to make money before she made it in acting. I remember reading that in People or somewhere years ago.

Probably Kirstie's idea. She probably makes all the Scientology slaves that are sent over to clean up after all her animals, eat at the picnic tables
I hope she had this place power washed. When she had her reality show, it was a disgusting mess from all the animals she had

I too remember reading she was an Interior Decorator at some point. Also comes to mind is an interview she did (Oprah?) where she said she used to clean houses to make money and was really good at it and still enjoys cleaning. She said when she is in a airplane restroom she uses a mini vodka bottle to clean/disinfect before she uses the restroom and she recommended to audience to use vodka to clean and disinfect , you know because the average person can afford vodka to clean with, lol.

I, as well, wonder where she got the funds to purchase and maintain this property. Then I was reminded that, of course, she's got the Scientology slaves, as Tammy does, to handle all maintenence.
Still, this is extravagant living for a washed up TV star.

YOU can see this house up on the hill from the 5 freeway. I believe, but not confirmed, that it is on the same street as one of the Manson murders in the 1970's (Cielo Drive at the time, but the name was changed thereafter). Maybe on our our crafty sleuths can help us confirm?

It was reported a while back that Cruise sold all his properties to move to Clearwater. With all the openly bad press, Scientology is rumored to be hemorrhaging money. I wonder if they're pressuring all their high-worth folks to sell everything and give it to them (beyond what they have already given). A fool and they're money...

R21 there’s no way you can see Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon from the 5. Maybe you mean the street where the LaBianca murders happened in Los Feliz. That you might be able to see.

Love the exterior. I like the baroque-esque feel of the entrance hall and the living room. I also like the mantle detail of the fireplace. The play room is too kitschy even for my taste (hate wood on the floor AND wood paneling in the same room). Hate the color of the tiles in the kitchen. The 1st bedroom is old grandma country style (Yikes!). The bathroom is just bizarre. Doesn't fit with the rest of the house. Too whimiscal even for my taste. The 2nd bedroom is just ghastly (hate that green wallpaper). The tub area looks so outdated. Those tiles put me off even more than the one in the other bathroom. The terrace and pool area look lovely.

Aspects of it are gorgeous, especially the exterior. Some of the human-proportioned rooms are beautiful. But those cavernous rooms (did she knock out some walls?) covered in questionable wallpaper are a big NO.

I like the mosaic bathroom, and I'd actually love it if she' had the nerve to go all out with it. Tile it all the way up the walls, not leave part of the walls blank and put fucking wallpaper on the rest!
And that's the only part of the house that I actually like, the rest of it is obviously expensive but... uninteresting.

She s owned the house a long time by LA standards. Its nice but its way overpriced. Despite the retard Angelina buying a nearby house at probably double its value last year, Los Feliz prices arent where this is priced. The highest price paid on her street is around 7 million up to now. It is on the nicest street in Las Feliz. Alley has had a history of flipping houses in LA and I would guess has made some serious coin over her career just on real estate in LA. Also as to the questkon about the Manson murders, I think what was being asked was the second night the mansons went on their murder spree it WAS in Los Feliz but on the eastern edge bordering Glendale on a street named Waverly Drive, probably a mile or so from Alleys.

I think the house is nice, but that busy colorful style needs more furniture and... volume. It’s really more suited to smaller rooms, IMO. There was some sort of disconnect there.
