Paris Hilton’s House Is For Sale!

Breaking News

Paris Hilton wants more privacy. The celebrity socialite has put her Los Angeles home on the market for $4.25 million.

Arguably one of the most closely watched people in the world, Ms. Hilton wants to buy a larger home in a gated community or, at least, one with a long gated driveway, according to her aunt and informal spokeswoman, Kyle Richards. Her current house measures about 3,000 square feet on a 7,000-square-foot lot, modest by Los Angeles celebrity standards.

Last month, Ms. Hilton’s Spanish-style home in the Hollywood Hills was the scene of an international media storm related to the 26-year-old hotel heiress’s 23-day incarceration in an L.A. jail; Ms. Hilton was sentenced for violating her probation connected to a previous alcohol-related reckless-driving charge. Hundreds of reporters crowded the neighborhood and helicopters buzzed overhead to chronicle the tearful socialite’s trip to and from jail. The 24-hour-a-day spectacle upset neighbors and prompted the city to redesignate nearby streets as no-stopping zones.

Ms. Hilton bought the four-bedroom residence in 2004 for about $2.9 million, during the second season of her reality show, “The Simple Life.” She redecorated the interior in black and white and transformed one bedroom into a walk-in closet and another into a security control room. She made over the family room with beaded walls and added a modern audio/visual system throughout the house as well as extra security features. Built in 1926, the property includes a pool, a Jacuzzi and a waterfall.

While Ms. Hilton feels bad for her neighbors, according to Ms. Richards, their discomfort was not a factor in her decision to sell. “I’m sure they’ll be happy to see the paparazzi go, but that had nothing to do with it,” Ms. Richards says. “She can’t control the people who are outside.” Ms. Hilton is currently staying in a rental in Malibu.

The listing agent is her uncle, Mauricio Umansky, of Hilton & Hyland, a prominent Beverly Hills real-estate brokerage co-owned by Ms. Hilton’s father, Rick Hilton. It’s also an affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates.

Ms. Hilton’s younger sister, Nicky, 23, is moving into the neighborhood. Last month, she paid roughly $2.9 million for a home a few miles away. Mr. Umansky also handled that transaction.
