Kat Von D’s Goth Girl L.A. Mansion Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

https://ift.tt/AxlBtMr

We’ve seen plenty of swimming pools of azure blue—edgeless pools that appear to expand into infinity. We’ve seen gorgeous, black-bottomed pools. We’ve even seen pools with David Bowie painted on the bottom.

But we’d never seen a red pool until photos of this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com® took the internet by storm.

The acclaimed tattoo artist Kat Von D is responsible for the splashy crimson backyard (and $15 million mansion) in Los Angeles, which raked in tens of thousands of clicks this week.

The former reality TV star turned her signature style into a fully fledged fashion moment and built a booming makeup business in the process. Her aesthetic is obvious throughout the rest of her three-story home, which resembles a Goth girl fantasy, with ornate period furnishings covered in miles of velvet and silk.

Aside from the residence of Ms. Von D, you also clicked on a lovely home just blocks off the French Quarter in NOLA, a historic Iowa home built by the area’s first lumber baron in 1890, and a cabin retreat in New York built in 2018, with cathedral ceilings and loads of natural light.

6. 1203 Grove Ter, Dubuque, IA

Price: $799,000
Why it’s here: A truly grand Victorian dating to 1890, this home was built by the town’s first lumber baron.

That’s why only the finest cherry, walnut, maple, and pine woods were used in the home’s construction over a century ago.

Fully renovated in 1992, the five-bedroom home has four fireplaces, a billiard-room, and wraparound porch to welcome guests. Perched on one-third of an acre overlooking the city, with river views, this historic home is formal, polished, and stately.

5. 803 W. Washington St, South Bend, IN

Price: $349,900
Why it’s here: Known as the Kizer Mansion, this landmark residence could be an income generator.

Spanning 7,220 square feet, it’s currently divided into a main residence on the two lower levels, and a third level split into three separate one-bedroom apartments.

The home is in the historic West Washington neighborhood, and the true income potential from tenants is still untapped. The property also includes a carriage house and an unfinished basement that has already been separated into multiple rooms.

4. 615 Harrison Ave, Charleston, IL

Price: $129,900
Why it’s here: A slice of history with an affordable price tag. Built in 1926 by the architect Chris Mitchell as his personal residence, this home is described as the “Crown Jewel of Old Charleston” in the listing.

The design incorporates elements of Revival, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, with a little English country manor thrown in for good measure. Inside, the home features an attention-grabbing fireplace, Tudor-style living room, built-ins, and a bathroom built from marble recycled from the old Coles County Courthouse.

The stately five-bedroom home includes an entry-level owner’s suite, built-ins, and woodwork. And while the interiors could use some love to bring them back to life, this property promises to clean up into something truly special.

1. 357 Lorraine Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

Price: $15,000,000
Why it’s here: Would you dare dive into a blood-red pool? The backyard and period interiors of Kat Von D‘s SoCal home commanded your attention this week.

Prior to the tattoo artist’s tenure, this three-story Victorian from 1896 was known as the “Cheaper by the Dozen” home—thanks to the 2003 film, which used it as a filming location.

Nowadays, this Goth fever dream of a residence evinces no signs of family-friendly cinema. Inside, the 12,565-square-foot mansion now features rich, dark woods, ornate furnishings and trimmings, as well as red and black velvet nearly everywhere.
