Actress Katherine Heigl lists her 2,369-square-foot house in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz area for $1.75M
Actress Katherine Heigl has listed her three-bedroom, contemporary-style house in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood for $1,750,000.
We’re the last to report on this, but we wanted to weigh in on Heigl’s listing of the house, which is at 4220 Parva Avenue in Los Feliz. Records show that Heigl paid $1,500,000 in April 2006 through her 4220 Parva Avenue Trust to purchase the 2,369-square-foot house on Parva Avenue, which recently became expendable last year when Heigl (shown her with her singer husband, Josh Kelley) moved into another house in the area.
The Los Angeles Times’ “Hot Property” columnist Ann Brenoff first wrote about this listing on her blog fully a week ago (and probably will stick that post in her weekly newspaper column this Sunday), and then our friends over at the Real Estalker wrote a characteristically excellent post on Heigl’s listing today. Heigl first placed the unit on the market on June 17.
Built in 1935, the house that Heigl is selling has been redone and has walls of glass with city, downtown and ocean views, according to public records and listing information. Other features include two and a half baths, a large master bedroom with French doors and a balcony with city views, a master bath with a large stone steam shower, hardwood floors, dual-zone air conditioning, recessed lights, and a kitchen with a SubZero refrigerator, a center island and granite countertops, according to listing information. One public records database tells us that the house sits on a 1.392-acre lot, but that’s clearly not true. As was the case with yesterday’s item that we wrote about Lisa Kudrow, we suspect that the public records database is off by a factor of 10, and that Heigl’s Parva Avenue house really sits on a lot measuring just 14/100 of an acre.
Brenoff’s post was kind of puzzling; in it, she didn’t once address what everyone else has written about ad infinitum: Heigl’s new house in Los Feliz. As we and others have written in the past, Heigl’s Poozer Loser Trust paid $2,550,000 in August 2007 to purchase the 3,690-square-foot house at 2226 N. Berendo Street in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz area.

Does anyone know anything about the house she and Josh Kelley own in TN (if they even still own it)? I used to live in the Franklin/Cool Springs area and I saw her all the time getting chauffeured around town in a big black SUV, with the window cracked so she could smoke.
[...] Although Katherine Heigl is not really knocked up, she has truly put her house on the market. It is in the Los Angeles area of Los Feliz, and it has been listed at $1,750,000. (Source, Big Time Listings) [...]
Looked into this place on an open-house. What a mess. Entry is restricted to the top level, and the lower level containing the bedrooms can be reached ONLY by a narrow spiral staircase!
OK view, but hot southern exposure and a semi-funtional HVAC that can’t keep up. No pool. With this steep hillside location you’re going to need LOTS of equipment and engineering to put in a pool (probably why nobody did it yet). But there’s just a tiny, steep strip of land on each side of the house - so no easy way to get pool-building equipment into the back yard. We’re definitely talking lifting every piece of equipment over the house WITH A CRANE. But Parva is a narrow, winding street. This will not be easy or cheap. And for what?
Then there’s the stink. I’m sorry, but that’s the only word that will do. Ms. Heigl must be a big dog-worshipper, because the entire lower level of the house stinks mightily of dog excrement and there’s lots of evidence of doggy discontent on the ruined lower level hardwood floors. The real estate agents have LOADED the place with special scented candles to disguise the smell … but the perfume only makes matters worse. When I arrived it was hot and sunny and all of the windows and doors were all opened wide, but then a brief rainy, windy squall blew over and all the windows and doors had to be shut. Within five minutes the stench was so strong that I had to leave or lose my lunch. Yech! No wonder she was so eager to move into her new Berendo digs! Maybe Joshua threatened to leave her if he had to spend one more night in the dog-shit-hole that constitutes the master bedroom? Just asking.
