CAMILLE & KELSEY GRAMMER'S Beverly Glen Home Gets A $1M Price Cut and Kelsey Lists New Beverly Hills Home!

Photo Credit: Trulia.com
Kelsey and Camille Grammer's Beverly Glen home has just received a $1 million price cut and is now listed at $14.995 million. The Grammers originally purchased the 10,567 sq ft, 7 bed/9 bath property for $13.7 million in 2007. The property was previously listed at $18.9 million in 2008.

The Grammers' Malibu estate is also on the market and has received a similar price reduction down to $14.995 million (more about their Malibu estate here). Their Beaver Creek ski mansion in Avon, CO is listed for $6.995 million. All three of these properties must be sold as part of the Grammers' lengthy and complicated divorce settlement.

In April 2013, Kelsey and his fourth wife, Kayte, purchased a different 6 bedroom Beverly Hills mansion for $6,500,000. It was leased for $30,000/month and is now back on the market for $7,250,000. They originally bought the property for their new family (baby Faith) but Kelsey's show "Boss" was canceled shortly after, leaving Kelsey to reevaluate his finances. He said he could no longer afford the multiple mortgages and moved back into the Grammer's Beverly Glen home. Ex-wife Camille is not happy because they has been paying her half of the carrying costs of the property ($40,000/month) and now it will be more difficult for them to sell the property with Kelsey and his new wife living in it.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you are interested in buying, selling, or leasing a property in the Beverly Glen/Beverly Hills or in the greater Los Angeles area. I would be happy to provide you with a list of available properties on the market that fit your search criteria or provide a professional estimate of your home value at no cost!

Taylor Swift recently sold her 7-bedroom Cape Cod style home near the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts for a profit at just under $5.7 million after purchasing the property for $4.8 million just last August.


She purchased the home while dating Connor Kennedy, the eldest son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Richardson Kennedy. The house was supposedly across the street from Connor's grandmother, Ethel Kennedy's home. The couple has since broken up and Swift sold the home for a profit after making a few renovations.

Cher Sells Condo in The Sierra Towers of Sunset Strip for $5.25 Million - West Hollywood (90069) - For Sale & For Lease


Cher has just sold her condo in the Sierra Towers of West Hollywood for $5.25 million! The 4000 sq ft property had amazing jetliner views of Los Angeles. She is leaving behind other celebrities such as Elton John, Lindsay Lohan, Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, Brody Jenner, etc.

The Sierra Towers of West Hollywood, designed by architect Jack A. Charney, is located at 9255 Doheny Road at the base of the Hollywood Hills just off the famous Sunset Strip. The Sierra Towers is often considered the most luxurious and exclusive residential condo in all of Los Angeles. The building offers panoramic views of all of Los Angeles from the mountains to downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean and boasts of amenities and services including 24-hour valet and concierge services, pool, spa, fitness center, ballroom, catering kitchen, and more.

The 32-story building was originally built in 1964 and has 146 units. Each floor has around 6 units, but some units have been combined over the years. The units typically have one to three bedrooms and floor to ceiling windows.

The building is unique in that it is 15 stories taller than any other building in a two-mile radius, giving it unobstructed views. With current zoning and building restrictions, there will unlikely be another similar tower built in the surrounding area.

There are currently 4 properties for sale in the building ranging from $2.175 to $3.495 million. There is also a small separate staff quarters in the building listed at $395,000.

The Sierra Towers is a great place to purchase a property if you are interested in a luxurious Hollywood lifestyle. Of course, there are also other more affordable buildings and condos in the West Hollywood/Sunset Strip area.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you are interested in purchasing, selling, or leasing a unit in the Sierra Towers or another condo in Los Angeles!
