Katherine Heigl’s Former L.A. Colonial Could Be Yours for $3M

Published: February 15, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

A good natured little Colonial in Los Feliz—with Katherine Heigl associations—has come up for sale. Heigl and husband Josh Kelley purchased the property in 2007 for $2.55 million.

The home is a 1920’s construction, and certainly retains the quaint, mythical New England sincerity of the style: a friendly, symmetrical façade framed with landscaped flora, and centered by a farmhouse red front door. It measures 3,690 square feet, and contains four bedrooms and 3.5 baths.

Aside from the front door, the toning is generally cool, offset by narrow-plank, dark-stained oak floors. A family room in primary blue seems a little out of place with no oppositional corollary or tonal accent, but is charming nonetheless. Inset bookcases and a door leading to the brick patio, as in the rest of the home, establish craftsmanship, flow and light as visually paramount. Room-to-room transition is very comfortable, as it should be in a California Colonial design.

Heigl and Kelley listed the home in 2010 for $2.7 million. Site of the much-publicized Los Feliz hot tub incident of 2010—which involved watery amour and an easily-offended neighbor, and culminated in an LAPD investigation—the house now carries with it the cachet of a ‘true crime’ scene. Any hard-boiled Chesterfield-smoking LAPD detective will tell you the unwritten rule of L.A. backyards: all too often, the trouble begins in a hot tub. Before you know it, everyone’s in hot water.

The house’s current listing price is not terribly far from its listing price under the ownership of Heigl and Kelley: $2.995 million will buy it in early 2017.
