Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker paid $14.5M for Carpinteria Beach House after the Wedding

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have been married for nearly six months, but according to the Poosh founder, they still do not reside together. The newlyweds have purchased their first residence as a couple, according to public records. Us Weekly reported the purchase first.

Conan O’Brien’s oceanfront retreat in the sleepy seaside town of Carpinteria, just south of Santa Barbara and Montecito, became available for sale in the summer, to much fanfare. Kardashian and Barker paid $14.5 million for their casually cool new accommodations, a significant discount from O’Brien’s asking price of $16.5 million but still significantly more than the $7.8 million the veteran TV host paid for the property seven years ago.

During his ownership, O’Brien renovated the house extensively (“down to the studs,” according to the listing). The 1950s coastal shack features two cosy bedrooms and one bathroom, along with approximately 1,000 square feet of living space, a lower level with a bonus room, ample storage and an attached carport. There is a kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel premium appliances serving a living/dining area with a metal fireplace and unobstructed ocean views through glass walls.

The living room opens to a spacious wooden terrace ideal for al fresco dining, and the two bedrooms share a balcony with ocean breezes and views of whitewater.

In addition to the relatively modest main residence, there is a two-story detached guesthouse with two distinct bedroom suites, ideal for a live-in staff member or visiting relatives, as well as a living room and kitchenette with a breakfast bar. A two-car garage with a Tesla charging station is attached to the guesthouse, and there are large driveway gates for privacy. The nearly a quarter-acre site has a 50-foot oceanfront, and the two structures are surrounded by a tropical jungle of lush vegetation that includes more than a dozen mature palms and abundant bougainvillaea plants.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Kevin Costner, and George Lucas are some of the closest new neighbours of the Kardashian-Barker clan.

O’Brien and his wife have upgraded to a much larger, $23 million estate in Carpinteria, but they still own their longstanding primary residence in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Kardashian and Barker each own a large mansion in the same gated community in Calabasas — “We’re only a block apart!” she likes to remind her admirers — and Kardashian has a $12 million vacation home in La Quinta’s Madison Club.
