Ellen DeGeneres is at it again! The talk-show host and her wife, Portia de Rossi, recently listed a home in the Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills for $18 million, not quite seven months after they purchased the property, for $15 million. The 5,100-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home was originally built by architect John Elgin Woolf in 1962. The glamorous, single-level property was recently updated by architecture firm Marmol Radziner before being purchased by DeGeneres and de Rossi. Variety reports that the design-obsessed couple updated the home yet again in 2019, outfitting the Hollywood Regency–style abode with modern technology.
Inside the mansion’s tall Pullman front doors are a circular foyer and a combination living and dining room complete with an antique stone fireplace. The marble floor continues beyond a wall of glass to a loggia with fluted columns and breathtaking views of Los Angeles.
DeGeneres is known for reselling multimillion dollar homes on a regular basis. In early 2018, she and de Rossi sold two Montecito properties: a 13-acre compound (to Netflix executive Ted Sarandos), for $34 million, and a historic equestrian ranch (to Tinder founder Sean Rad), for $11 million. In 2014, she turned a huge profit when she bought and sold the famed Brody House in Holmby Hills. In a 2018 interview with Today, DeGeneres talked about her real estate habit. “It’s not really house flipping,” she told host Savannah Guthrie. “We buy a house and we love it, and we stay in it, and then we get a little bored because we like a different style or a different aesthetic, and I love furniture and I love decorating. So if I find something else and we make money, it turns out, why not move to another house?”
