Kelsey Grammer's Fantastic Flip, Estate of the Day


We've written about Kelsey Grammer's real estate doings before (he's nearly as ambitious a real estate tycoon as Ellen DeGeneres and now the Real Estalker reveals the latest listing from Kelsey and Camille Grammer. This home in the prestigious Holmby Hills are of Los Angeles is one of his best yet. The seven-bedroom home is over 10,000 square feet is on almost an acre of desirable land. The Grammers bought the home less than a year ago for $13.7 million. They have done up the home in their mix of beige and whimsy, sticking to relatively neutral tones throughout the house but making some vibrantly colorful choices in bathroom tiles. The grounds include an expansive pool area and a large lawn.

The home's other features include a gym (with a fireplace), large bathrooms, a media room with a built-in bar and a cozy but luxe style that gets much of its charm from the heavy dark beams and plethora of French doors. I'm not much of a fan of the "English Country" style but as wacky as they are, I'm loving the bathroom remodels (although I never understand the wisdom of having anything upholstered next to the tub. The Grammers have listed this home for $19.9 million.
