No one can seem to tell me specifically why actress Katherine Heigl & her husband Josh Kelley are leaving their Los Feliz home for the price tag of $2,659,000. Although, after viewing the property, the family of four look to be quickly out growing the space with baby paraphernalia sprinkled throughout the house. Or maybe, they are moving to a larger home because of Josh Kelley’s desire to have a proper music room (there has been a sad attempt to convert a storage space next to the garage into a music room which still just looks like a unfinished storage room next to a garage with music stuff in it.) Mind you, my husband is a music producer so I could be a bit of a music studio snob.
When I was inside, I could definitely see that it is a happy house full of love, expensive smelling candles and lots of pink! I was struck by how warm and inviting it felt with dozens of pictures all over the house displaying highlights from Katherine and Josh’s wedding to endless adorable pictures of their children to candid pictures of Katherine growing up in her younger years with family.
Located north of the Blvd. in prime Los Feliz conveniently near the famous Greek Theatre and a row of restaurants in Los Feliz Village, this 3,690-square-foot gracious Southern Colonial Los Feliz home with hallmark red door and white columns offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms on a 9,600 square foot lot. Much of the original architectural essence from 1922 of this elegant Los Feliz home has been retained and tastefully integrated with modern amenities. Downstairs, the public rooms with high ceilings and classic dark floors flow effortlessly together. The bright carrera marble cook’s kitchen and open adjacent family room at the heart of the house lead out through French door to a private landscaped backyard area with pool.
According to property records, Heigl purchased this Los Feliz home right around the time she married Kelley in 2007 for $2.55 million. With the Los Angeles real estate market on the rebound this year Heigl should be able to get a lot of interest and hopefully at least what she paid in 2007.
