Molly Sims in the Hollywood Hills, Estate of the Day
We here at Luxist owe a debt to Molly Sims. The picture of her in a diamond bikini remains a perennial top hit for our site. The lovely Sports Illustrated model and television star has put her charming three bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills on the market. This 1930s Spanish style home with views of the Los Angeles skyline has some fantastic details such as the bright white kitchen with Carrera marble countertops and the massive wine refrigerator. As the Real Estalker mentioned, the ebonized Saltillo tile floors are particularly gleaming and charming. The 3,043-square-foot home also has plenty of French doors opening out onto the patio and looks like it stays cool even when it's hot outside.
There are some off notes here. The puce shag and retro wallpaper in the den seem in need of a redo and the pool is a wee bit close to the house for maximum comfort and lounging potential. Plus, and this is probably just a personal quirk, I'm not a fan of the trough-like stone sink in the guest bath. Molly Sims paid $1.425 million for the home back in 2004 and is asking $2.999 million now.
