Ellen DeGeneres’ 2014 Real Estate Bonanza!

Few celebs have the real estate game on lock like Ellen DeGeneres. The talk show star, comedian, and Oscar hostess is a veritable whirlwind of buying and selling, and it can be hard to keep up with her property adventures.

Is the Brody House truly the finest home in LA? It’s hard to say for sure, but it definitely is a beauty.

Ellen started the year off in style by dropping $40 million on the gorgeous, historic Brody House. Situated in lovely Holmby Hills, Los Angeles – right next door to the Playboy Mansion – the fully-renovated 1949 manor has been called one of the best houses in LA. She didn’t keep it for long, though – Sean Parker of Napster fame made her a $55 million offer she couldn’t refuse, so DeGeneres flipped the home in July.

In the interim, Ellen scooped up a pair of condos in the Beverly West tower. She’s put those up for sale again as well. The units are full-floor, constituting the south and north faces of the building. The former is a two bedroom, three bathroom unit priced at $8.495 million, and the latter, with two bedrooms and 2.5 baths, is priced at $7.495 million. There’s about 8,000 square feet of living space between the two.

The latest news? DeGeneres just bought a two parcel compound… that she sold back in 2007. To clarify, she’s re-buying the place she sold from the person to whom she sold it. Talk about a badass! Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, picked up a gorgeous midcentury modern home with adjacent parcel for $10 million. The home, a post-and-beam beauty, was built in 1956. It boasts four bedrooms and four baths, a pool, two fireplaces, and every possible update and convenience. The couple bought the home back from Alexandra Hedison, wife of Jodie Foster, who did a complete reno on the place after she bought it from Ellen in 2007.
