Ashley Benson, who is best known for her role on “Pretty Little Liars,” is preparing to sell her historic Los Angeles residence.
The exquisite 4,825-square-foot residence has five bedrooms and five restrooms. The property, located in the city’s gated Laughlin Park community, was listed for $9,499,000 in mid-July and recently entered contingent sale status.
Benson acquired the luxurious residence in 2020 for $4.5 million and renovated it. Nonetheless, she stands to benefit handsomely from the investment if she receives a bid close to her asking price.
The residence was constructed in 1930 by the renowned architect Arthur Rowland Kelly, whose portfolio also includes the Playboy Mansion and Hollywood’s first luxury hotel, The Christie Hotel.
This opulent Spanish Revival estate in Old Hollywood is situated on a cul-de-sac with panoramic vistas of downtown Los Angeles and Griffith Park. During the renovation, many of the home’s historical features were preserved.
The spacious living room in the enchanted home has wood-beamed ceilings and parquet floors. Large windows let in an abundance of natural light, and a fireplace amps up the cosiness factor. Built-in cabinets and shelving add polish to the space.
The home’s farmhouse kitchen features teal cabinetry, a marble island in the centre, and high-quality appliances. The black-and-gold furnace and porcelain washbasin are particularly eye-catching.
A chandelier, tall arched windows, and dark hardwood floors make the dining room an impressive place to entertain guests.
Five of the home’s bedrooms feature built-in shelves, cabinets, and private balconies, while one features a fireplace and a spacious walk-in wardrobe.
Equally inviting are the restrooms, especially the master bathroom with its chic glass doors and copper soaking tub.
Other distinguishing features include gold fixtures, glossy black tile, floral wallpaper, and marble vanities. One of the guest bathrooms has a vintage appearance, with a pedestal washbasin and seafoam-green walls.
