Back on November 13, 2013, gossip juggernaut, TMZ, revealed that Khloe Kardashian, sister of Kim Kardashian, and her husband, ex-Los Angeles Laker, Lamar Odom were quietly selling their Tarzana home due to a possible divorce. Lo and behold a couple of months later and the always hilarious, Your Mama, at the Realestalker, revealed on January 8, 2013 that Kardashian/Odom officially listed their home on the MLS for $5,499,000 and were in the beginning stages of a divorce confirming the rumors first announced at TMZ.
The home measures 7 Beds/8 Baths on 8,000 sqft on a total lot size of 0.75 acres built in 2003 in the exclusive guard-gated Mulholland Park. The listing description states:
Breathtaking Mediterranean Villa within the estates section of guard-gated Mulholland Park. Highlighted by a dramatic two story foyer with sweeping stair case, the estate offers approx. 8400 Sq. Ft. of unparalleled luxury. Six en-suite bedrooms afford exquisite designer details including textured wallpaper, tumbled stone, and mosaic accents. The library/office incl. custom built-ins & opens to a lush patio. Elegant formal living and dining rooms both open up to a rear loggia. A chefs center island kitchen offers the best in form & function incl. a round breakfast nook. The spacious family room is anchored by a glossy tiled floor to ceiling fireplace mantle. The luxurious master suite showcases jet-liner city views. Custom built-ins and a mosaic tiled fireplace enhance the room. The spa-like master bath has dual sinks, a spa tub, and shower with personalized temperature settings and music capability, 3 custom built walk-in closets complete the room. The sprawling ultra-private resort like grounds are highlighted by a stunning pool with cascading water features, fire pits, and spa. A covered Arbor & outdoor kitchen offer the ideal setting for entertaining. Lush foliage, large grassy areas and several seating enclaves complete this one of a kind estate.
Kardashian/Odom first acquired this property for $3,950,000 on December 18, 2009 which if sold at today's asking price would translate into a profit of $1,549,000 before any expenses which is a pretty good return after close to 4 years of living in the home. Its been speculated that Kardashian has already moved back to the mother's nest in Hidden Hills while Odom might be in Florida where he owns another home.
