Kim Kardashian's starter home, which she owned from 2010 to 2013, is on the market for $5.1 million. The socialite's former abode may look familiar to Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans, as it served as the backdrop to much of the fifth season (after she moved into the home during Season 5, Episode 1).
Kardashian's second husband, NBA player Kris Humphries, asked for her hand in marriage in the bedroom in 2011. Reality TV moments aside, however, the design features of this Tuscan-style home are worthy of celebration in their own right. Located in the sought-after Deep Canyon neighborhood in Beverly Hills, the property pays homage to quintessential Tuscan-style design – both in regard to its architectural assets and decor choices.
Upon approaching the property, the pillared exterior, complete with arches and French doors, foreshadows the Mediterranean decor behind the wooden front door. Inside, the two-story entry foyer continues to pay tribute to Southern European design – comprising an intricate railing, stair art, and a dangling chandelier. The black and white-hued entryway leads to formal yet comfortable living rooms – all of which maintain the same monochromic palette.
Leading from the living spaces, the gourmet chefs' kitchen features bespoke built-ins and a white center island that upholds the home's classic color scheme. The area leads out to the terrace, fittingly kitted out with an outdoor dining space that's perfect for entertaining. A two-way fireplace separates the kitchen from the breakfast room/lounge, and a cozy theater is directly adjacent.
Upstairs, there are more fireplaces to be explored. The primary retreat (where Humphrey proposed) features a sitting area with a fireplace, alongside double walk-in closets and a beautiful Italian tiled bath with an oversized tub. There are three additional en-suite bedrooms on this level.
Outside, there is yet another stone fireplace (yes, really) that sits as the focal point of the outdoor living room , complete with a built-in BBQ kitchen. The grounds also feature a pool with a spa and fountain and a sunbathing area above with a gazebo/cabana. The latter comes complete with TVs, a bathroom, and a fire pit, just in case we need another place to unwind outside.
