LOS ANGELES — The family that buys real estate together stays together, apparently.
“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” matriarch Kris Jenner and her daughter Kim Kardashian West have both bought condominiums at Avanti, a new upscale community in Calabasas. Jenner paid $1.497 million and $1.65 million for two separate residences; Kardashian West paid $1.6 million for her own unit.
The off-market purchases were made through separate blind trusts linked to the reality television personalities, according to public records.
Although details of the individual condos are scant, marketing materials for the community show that the units range from 2,109 square feet to 2,662 square feet of living space with either two or three bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms.
The Italian-vibe condos, designed by Robert Hidey Architects, feature such details as European cabinetry, Kohler fixtures and Wolf appliances. Two-tone hues and custom lighting give the interiors a contemporary yet slightly lived-in feel.
Jenner, 61, and Kardashian West, 37, have both appeared on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” since 2007.
SERVING ONE, BUYING ANOTHER: Serena Williams is switching up her home court. During the last month, the tennis sensation has bought a home in the Beverly Hills Post Office area and put her old spot in Bel-Air up for sale at $11.995 million.
Her new house, tucked behind gates in a guard-gated community, is a contemporary play on the Mediterranean style and has five bedrooms in about 6,000 square feet of living space.
Features of the three-story house include black accents, brushed-oak flooring and plaster fireplaces that create visual contrast against crisp white walls. The chef’s kitchen pairs a large island with custom cabinetry. The house also has a yoga room and a wine cellar.
Fleetwood sliding doors open to an outdoor veranda equipped with a grill. A swimming pool, lawns and landscaping fill out the grounds.
The house she’s selling sits on nearly 3 acres of grounds with a private hiking trail and a swimming pool. Built in 1935, the house features scaled formal rooms, a library/study and a salon.
There are seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms in about 6,100 square feet of living space.
PREPARED FOR TAKEOFF FROM SANTA MONICA: Actor Tim Daly of “Wings” and “Private Practice” fame has sold his condominium in Santa Monica for $1.95 million.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in a modern loft-style building was quick to attract interest when it was listed for sale in August. The property’s sale was listed as pending a little more than a week after hitting the market, records show.
Open-plan living areas and an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry are among the features of the home, which has 1,730 square feet of living space. A sliding roll-top door leads to one of two private terraces.
High ceilings with exposed ductwork give the unit an industrial vibe.
Daly, 61, currently stars as Henry McCord on the CBS drama “Madam Secretary.” Last year, he appeared in the film “Submerged.”
