Mikkel Eriksen, one of the two hitmakers behind the production and songwriting duo Stargate, is parting ways with his custom-designed equestrian estate.
Set in Pacific Palisades’ highly sought-after Sullivan Canyon neighborhood in Los Angeles, the music producer’s home oozes style and comfort — and looks like it’s been completely revamped prior to listing.
In fact, Eriksen has partnered with renowned Montalba Architects (the visionaries behind Nobu Hotels and Soho House) to breathe new life into the 1981-built home before bringing it to market. Now, it’s being offered for sale at $14,950,000 with Compass’ Cindy Ambuehl holding the listing.
If Eriksen’s name doesn’t sound all too familiar, the songs produced by Stargate over the years likely will.
Stargate, comprised of Mikkel Eriksen and Tor E. Hermanson, have produced or written songs for some of the biggest music artists in the world including Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Whitney Houston, Chris Brown, Nas, and others.
Some of their biggest hits include Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable, Rihanna’s Rude Boy, and Katy Perry’s 2010 hit, Fireworks. And if that leaves you wondering how much house you can buy after making it big in the music industry, Mikkel Eriksen’s impressive equestrian estate might just give you an idea.
“Old Oak is a totally unique experience,” says listing agent Cindy Ambuehl. “There are few properties on huge lots with fully lit tennis courts. There are few properties with a complete wellness center with infrared sauna and cold plunge. There are few properties with an 8th deep large pool and spa. There are very few properties with character using only high end finishes and fixtures. Few homes have the perfect floor plan and abundance of light. There are very few properties that allow you to keep horses in your own backyard. No other property has all of the above.”

The Stargate producer’s home offers 5,127 square feet of bright, elegantly appointed living space, with 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths.
Its top-to-bottom renovation added custom millwork, floor-to-ceiling doors, vaulted ceilings, and white oak floors throughout the light-filled home.
The gourmet kitchen is flooded with natural light and is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, a large island, and direct access to all communal spaces.
But it’s the open floor plan living area that steals the show, with its large living room, entertainers bar, formal dining, family room, and secondary dining all opening to the outdoors, creating a perfect space for hosting large gatherings.

Per the listing, the property includes two horse stalls, perfect for keeping your equine friends close to home.
The yard is equipped with an outdoor fireplace, built-in barbecue, pool and spa, and a vast koi pond providing a peaceful escape from busy city life. Situated on a 3/4 acre lot, this modern ranch masterpiece offers luxury and comfort in equal measure.

One of the many historic states, Virginia has a rich history mixed with vibrant cities and gorgeous natural landscapes. From cities like Richmond and Alexandria to coastal towns like Virginia Beach, there are plenty of areas to look at if you’re considering moving to or buying a home in Virginia. From iconic Federal-style homes to Queen Anne and Georgian-style houses, there are lots of Virginia-style homes to choose from.
To help you find a starting point, we at Redfin have put together a list of 11 Virginia home styles you’re likely to find, whether you’re looking to buy a home in Virginia Beach or in Woodbridge. Let’s jump in and see some of the best Virginia-style homes.
1) American Foursquare
Commonly found in Virginia and other parts of the East Coast, American Foursquare homes were most popular from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. These homes are defined by their square or rectangular shape with a hipped roof and wide front porch. American Foursquare houses often have a simple, functional layout with a central hallway and rooms arranged around it, as well as classic finishes like built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors, and decorative moldings.
2) Bungalow
With their design inspired by the Craftsman style of architecture, bungalow houses are single-story homes with open concept living spaces and two-to-three bedrooms on the same level. The steepness of the gabled roof determines whether you’ll find an additional attic space. Other common features of bungalow homes include raised foundations and covered front porches. This home style is a popular choice due to their smaller size and affordability.
3) Colonial
If you’re a fan of traditional architecture, you can’t go wrong with a Colonial home. These homes have been around since the 1600s and come in a variety of styles, from Georgian to Federal to Dutch Colonial. Regardless of the style, most Colonial homes share certain design features, such as a two-story layout, a steep gable or gambrel roof, and symmetrical windows on the exterior. You’ll also find that these homes are typically made from durable materials like stone, wood, or brick, and often feature formal living and dining rooms on the main floor with bedrooms located on the second floor.
4) Contemporary
Contemporary homes offer a sleek and modern design that is becoming increasingly popular in Virginia. These homes have an emphasis on functionality and clean lines, making them perfect for those who appreciate minimalist design. Inside, contemporary homes feature an open-concept layout with ample natural light. Expect to see a mix of materials like concrete, glass, and steel that give the homes an edgy and sophisticated look.
5) Craftsman
Craftsman homes in Virginia typically feature a charming and cozy aesthetic that emphasizes warmth and comfort. These homes have a combination of natural materials such as wood and stone, as well as distinctive details like exposed beams and decorative brackets. Craftsman homes usually have an open floor plan, a cozy fireplace, and built-in cabinetry, all of which create an inviting feel of the space. These Virginia homes also often include outdoor living spaces such as porches or patios, perfect for enjoying the mild climate and scenic surroundings.
6) Federal
The Federal style emerged during the late 1700s and early 1800s, making them one of the older architectural styles in the US. Federal style homes in Virginia are typically two to three stories with symmetrical façades and rectangular shapes. They often feature brick or stone exteriors, with decorative elements such as columns, cornices, and pediments. Inside, they have high ceilings, intricate moldings, and grand central staircases.
7) Georgian
Another prominent architectural style in Virginia is the Georgian style. Popular in the 18th century, you can find Georgian homes in historic districts throughout the state. These homes have a symmetrical façade with evenly spaced windows, typically five on the first and second floors. The entrance is typically adorned with a decorative pediment, while the roofline is flat with a modillion cornice. Inside, these homes feature a central hallway with rooms on either side, high ceilings, and wood paneling.
8) Neo-colonial
Neo-colonial style homes in Virginia are a modern take on the traditional colonial design. They typically feature two-to-three stories, symmetrically placed windows and doors, and a central front entrance. Neo-colonial homes also tend to have pitched roofs with dormer windows and a brick or wood exterior. Inside, they often have traditional details like crown molding and wainscoting. Additionally, there are often modern upgrades like open floor plans and updated kitchens and bathrooms.
9) New construction
New construction homes are typically designed with a blend of traditional and modern architectural styles. Open floor plans, ample natural light, and energy-efficient features are common in new homes. Expect to see a range of building materials, including brick, stone, and fiber cement siding. Many new construction homes in Virginia also feature luxurious suites and large kitchens with high-end appliances. There are often outdoor living spaces such as decks or patios, completing the home.
10) Rambler
Rambler homes, also known as ranch-style homes, are single-story homes characterized by a long, low profile with a horizontal layout and typically have an open-concept floor plan. They often have a simple design with a low-pitched roof, large windows, and a minimalistic aesthetic. In Virginia, rambler homes are popular in suburban and rural areas. You can find them on large lots with expansive outdoor spaces. They offer convenient, single-level living with a focus on indoor-outdoor connectivity.
11) Queen Anne
The final Virginia home style is the Queen Anne house, known for its ornate and elaborate features. Queen Anne homes are typically two or three stories tall with steeply pitched roofs, asymmetrical facades, and multiple gables. The exteriors of these houses are often made of wood or brick and feature intricate details such as stained glass windows, decorative shingles, and ornamental brackets.
Inside, these homes have high ceilings, large windows, and elaborate woodwork, including crown molding and carved staircases. Many Queen Anne homes also feature large front porches with intricate woodwork and decorative railings, as well as spacious rooms with multiple fireplaces.
They say people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Society’s obsession with celebrities is big biz! And when it comes to cashing in on it, paparazzi moguls François and Brandy Navarre are laughing all the way to the bank.
The couple just listed a palatial property in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades and they’re hoping to cash in $12,225,000 from their latest real estate venture.
Just the latest in a long streak of million dollar homes they bought (and later sold at a profit), François and Brandy Navarre’s house is listed with Zac Mostame and Santiago Arana of The Agency and Andreas Elsenhans of Westside Estate Agency.
From king & queen of the paparazzi to prolific real estate investors
Celebrity photos are a hot commodity. Whether an A-lister is caught canoodling with a beau, dropping their kids off at school, or simply out and about doing everyday errands, there’s big bucks in celebrity photos — which are taken by photographers dubbed ‘the paparazzi’.
Just ask François and Brandy Navarre, paparazzi moguls and real estate developers who are testament to the multi-million dollar industry of paparazzi pics.
The couple are co-founders and owners of the most successful celebrity gossip and paparazzi agency in Hollywood: X17.
Known for their aggressive tactics, hiding drones and long zoom lenses in pursuit of the perfect pic, the Navarres have built their dynasty off famous folks doing their ‘regular’ routines of getting groceries, exercising in their neighborhoods and going on the school run with their kids.
Of course, with great success comes great responsibility. Last year, X17 was sued by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over unauthorized images of their son Archie. Jennifer Aniston also sued the couple over topless photos taken outside her Malibu home.
And many other celebrities — such as Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Halle Berry, Britney Spears and Jennifer Garner, to name a few — have been outspoken about the invasive and unsafe elements of having to deal with the paparazzi on a daily basis.
Like it or not, society’s obsession with celebrities is a money-making industry and the Navarres have profited in a big way — becoming as wealthy as their A-list clientele.
And as it turns out, their profitable paparazzi dynasty has afforded them some luxurious digs in the competitive Los Angeles real estate market.
A look at the Navarres’ past real estate ventures
According to Dirt, in 2021 the Navarres sold an 8,500-square foot estate in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades for $13.7 million.
And in 2005, they purchased a Pacific Palisades home for $5 million, which was located next door to Conan O’Brien’s estate, which they later listed for sale asking $15.9 million.
The former paparazzi couple also bought a beach house in 2000 for $1.7 million. The Malibu home has been for sale and for rent since 2016, with a listed price of $7.5 million and a summer rental rate at $45,000 per month.
Their latest home in Pacific Palisades has just hit the market
And now, the Navarres have listed another property for $12.225 million.
Located in their seemingly favorite upscale neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, the stunning estate is overlooking the Riviera surrounded by serene greenery and landscapes.
The midcentury modern home features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a detached guest house.
Boasting an open floor plan and living area with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, the luxurious Los Angeles home has jaw-dropping ocean views amid its 5,500-square feet.
The outdoor amenities include a pool, patio and plenty of gorgeous greenery to soak up the sweet California sunshine.
The plush property is listed by Zac Mostame and Santiago Arana of The Agency and Andreas Elsenhans of Westside Estate Agency.

With the grand coronation of King Charles III (finally) taking place in Britain over the weekend, our thoughts turned to royal accommodations—specifically castles, with their turrets, tapestries, and stone fireplaces.

The 3,027-square-foot home with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths was bestowed two titles: Knightsbridge Manor and the Castle in the Pines. It features wood-clad barrel ceilings, a stone staircase, and a solid walnut front door with iron hardware.
The lot measures a third of an acre and features a fire pit and a newly built chicken coop. (Egg-laying chickens are included in the sale.) This castle is said to be the jewel of the amenity-filled, lakefront community known as the Isle of Pines.

With six bedrooms and three baths in 4,316 square feet of living space, the stately home near the center of town is just brimming with possibilities. It could be used as a family home, an events venue, or a charming bed-and-breakfast. The formal dining room, exquisitely outfitted kitchen, and the parlors with fireplaces lend themselves well to any of these options.
We’re particularly enamored with the carved-wood detailing, the picturesque reading nook, and the handy butler’s pantry.

The Golden State is known for its sunny and sandy beaches, historic cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, picturesque national parks like Yosemite and Joshua Tree, and array of outdoor activities – hiking, skiing, surfing, and running trails. It’s no wonder that 39 million people live in California. There are many draws to the state, no matter what city you’re living in. So, if you’re looking to buy a home in California this year, you might be wondering what kind of classic California style homes you’re likely to find.
Look no further, Redfin is here to guide you. We’ve gathered 8 quintessential California style homes you might want to consider buying whether you’re looking for a home in Sacramento or rental property in Irvine. While home styles vary across the state, here are some of the most common home styles in California you’re likely to find. Let’s jump in.
1) Cape Cod
Cape Cod homes are a well-known and loved house style across the US. They’re most recognizable for their symmetrical design, steep roof with pitched triangular areas, and large chimney. These homes often have two-to-three bedrooms and an open floor plan. They’re typically single-story, but you can often find Cape Cod style homes with more floors. Cape Cod style homes have lots of windows to let in natural light, adding to the charm. You’ll find these homes have cedar shingles, brick, stucco, or stone exteriors.
2) Contemporary
If you’re looking for a home that’s got modern and chic elements consider a contemporary style house. These homes are common in many cities up and down the state, from Malibu to Vacaville. Contemporary homes typically have sleek and streamlined designs, with plenty of natural light and an emphasis on functionality, perfect for the sunny California days. Expect to see a mix of materials and textures, such as wood, metal, and glass to complete the home.
3) Craftsman
Craftsman style homes in California are known for their unique blend of traditional and modern elements. These homes have low-pitched roofs with exposed rafters, wide front porches, and a mix of materials like stone, wood, and brick. Inside, expect to see plenty of natural light and an open floor plan, with built-in cabinetry and detailed woodwork adding to the charm. Whether you’re looking for a cozy bungalow or a larger, more spacious home, you’ll find options with the Craftsman style.
4) Mediterranean
Mediterranean-style homes are a popular architectural choice in California, drawing inspiration from the historic buildings found in Spain and Italy. These homes often feature stucco exteriors, red roof tiles, and metalwork accents, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Many Mediterranean homes also incorporate exposed wooden beams, adding to their rustic charm.
One of the defining features of these homes is their seamless blend of indoor-outdoor living, making them ideal for California’s mild climate. Whether you’re looking for a seaside villa or a cozy retreat in the hills, you’re sure to find the perfect Mediterranean-style home in California.
5) Mid-century modern
A home style that gained popularity during the 1940s through 1960s, mid-century modern homes are still very loved today, including in California. These homes have clean lines, functional design, and natural elements. Mid-century modern homes in California are typically single-story or split-level with floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. Additionally, mid-century modern homes showcase neutral colors and natural wood finishes throughout the home, creating a minimalist and sleek look.
6) New construction
New construction homes in California typically feature modern and sleek designs with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. They often incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient features to help reduce their carbon footprint. Many homes offer open-concept living spaces, large windows, and high ceilings to maximize natural light and create a sense of spaciousness. Smart home technology is also common, allowing you to control everything from lighting to temperature.
7) Ranch
California ranch homes are typically a single-story design with a low-pitched roof and wide eaves. These homes often have a simple, open floor plan, with a living room, dining room, and kitchen all connected. You may find large sliding glass doors leading to outdoor living spaces, like patios or decks, to take advantage of California’s mild climate. Many ranch homes in California also feature mid-century modern design elements, such as floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed beams, and natural details.
8) Victorian
You can find variations of Victorian homes throughout the state, but, by far, the most well-known Victorian homes are in San Francisco. The “Painted Ladies” are recognized by their ornate and colorful facades. They feature bold hues and intricate details such as gingerbread trim, stained glass windows, and decorative brackets. The Victorian style homes in California were primarily built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The main architectural styles are Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, and Italianate.
Cue up your favorite girlboss anthem, because the high-powered female brokers at the Oppenheim Group are back!
And along with them come more million-dollar deals, some fresh new faces, and all the drama you’d expect from the Netflix series best described as ‘Real Housewives meets Million Dollar Listing.‘
Spicing things up this season are two new additions to the Selling Sunset cast, joining familiar faces like Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Emma Hernan, Heather Rae El Moussa, Amanza Smith, and Chelsea Lazkani.
O Group veteran Nicole Young steps into the limelight (after she’d only made brief appearances in past seasons, including a memorable one in Season 2 when she officiated Mary and Romain’s wedding), alongside model-turned-real estate agent Bre Tiesi.
For those of you keeping up with celebrity news, Bre might already be a familiar face, as the ambitious real estate agent was holding headlines last year after having a baby with Nick Cannon.
We also get to meet Jason Oppenheim’s new girlfriend, Marie-Lou Nurk, and Chrishell Stause’s partner (later turned wife), G Flip. But despite the show’s new additions, what we’re most excited to see more jaw-dropping mansions and multi-million-dollar homes — and there’s no shortage of those in the new season.
So we took it upon ourselves to track down all the spectacular houses in Selling Sunset Season 6, and give you a breakdown of their impressive features, endless lists of amenities, and upscale features.
The spectacular houses in ‘Selling Sunset’, Season 6
Selling Sunset doesn’t disappoint when it comes to real estate eye candy. From sprawling penthouses to massive mansions, Season 6 brought us plenty of million-dollar homes to daydream about — and even had us revisit some past favorites, like Chrishell Stause’s beautiful home in Hollywood Hills.
And since luxury real estate is our obsession, we couldn’t help ourselves and tracked down all the Selling Sunset houses that graced our screens in Season 6 of the hit Netflix show.
With the exception of Chelsea’s Santa Monica listing, which we couldn’t find as there weren’t many details available (or maybe Chelsea didn’t land the listing?), and Nicole’s West Hollywood listing, here’s a quick update on all of the houses featured this season, along with property photos and videos that allow you to take a closer look at these phenomenal estates.
Bonus: before we go into the houses that made their way on-screen, we’d like to take a second to applaud the Netflix production crew’s choice when picking the shooting location for promotional images.
The posters for Selling Sunset‘s sixth season were shot at the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence, an architectural marvel and Hollywood landmark designed by lauded architect John Lautner.
Saint Ives Place, West Hollywood – Harry Styles’ former house
An impressive property with celebrity pedigree, this West Hollywood manse was the perfect location to kick off Season 6 of Selling Sunset.
Previously owned by As It Was hitmaker Harry Styles (who bought and sold quite a few Los Angeles-area mansions over the years, including one that later became Lizzo’s house), Emma’s listing has a phenomenal location and all the luxury amenities you’d expect from a former celebrity pad.
With 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, and 4,401 square feet of living space, the Netflix-features Saint Ives Pl. is ideally located behind private gates right above the Sunset Strip — which means it offers beautiful panoramic views that extend from Downtown L.A. to the ocean.
At the time Selling Sunset filmed its Season 6 episodes, the property was listed for $7,995,000. Not to spoil anything for Netflix fans (as Harry Styles’ former house may make a comeback in the next season), but the property is still on the market, with a slightly reduced price.
We’ve also learned that the property is available as a rental asking a whopping $1,500 PER DAY.
Lloydcrest Drive in Beverly Hills, Emma’s $18,995,000 listing
We’re suckers for striking modern mansions, and the Lloycrest Dr house on Selling Sunset is right up our alley.
The 5-bed, 9-bath house, which comes with a coveted address (it’s set in the prestigious Crest Streets in Beverly Hills), was listed for just under $19 million.
Hardworking Emma had already secured a buyer for the modern Beverly Hills spread, but the sale fell through as the buyers were not happy with how much they’d have to pay for fire insurance, which ran high even for a property this size (the show mentions that the cheapest fire insurance for the house would be 200,000/year – yowza!)
(Spoilers ahead) Fast-forward to now, Lloydcrest Drive is still on the market, though at a significantly lower price point. The property — which offers 10,359 of living space, a massive 2,000 sq. ft. primary suite with a private glam room and hair salon, a gourmet kitchen, and a 20-person home theater with a bar, among others — is currently listed for $12,995,000.
Jason Oppenheim’s two $7.5M penthouses on Hollywood Boulevard
After his Season 5 breakup with Chrishell, O Group co-founder Jason Oppenheim threw himself into work — specifically, converting four condo units on Hollywood Blvd. into two spectacular penthouses with massive rooftop decks and the finest luxury finishes.
As mentioned on the show, Jason sunk nearly $10 million of his own personal money into the project, and he’s looking to cash out by listing each of them for a whopping $7.5 million.
(Spoiler) The two penthouses are still on the market following Selling Sunset‘s Season 6 premiere, though the smaller of the two — both units have 3 beds and 4 baths, but one is slightly larger at 3,820 square feet versus 3,580 sq. ft. — has seen its price drop by $500,000. It’s now listed for $6,995,000 (and as a rental for $49,900/mo), while the larger unit retains the original $7,495,000 asking price and a $49,900/mo rent price.
Micah’s Hillside Ave house
Micah, the developer behind the impressive Lloydcrest Drive property we mentioned earlier, was also selling his original home — and had enlisted Emma to be his agent for this one too.
Set on the same prime Hollywood Hills street as the unforgettable $40 million Hillside house from Season 1 and 2, the 5-bedroom, 5-bath home comes with 4,840 square feet of luxurious living space, an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, and a King Kong statue(?) guarding the pool area.
Remember when Emma said how flattered she was that Micah was entrusting her with the sale of this home? Well, turns out he was right to do so (Warning, spoilers ahead): The Hillside Ave house from season 6 of Selling Sunset sold for more than the asking price.
Listed for $5,495,000 in August 2022, the 5-bedroom spread sold for $5,726,000 a few months later, in November 2022 per public records. Way to go, Emma!
N Stanley Ave, the black house on Billionaire’s Row
For this one, we didn’t have to do much research, as we extensively covered this beauty when it came to market last year.
Definitely one of the most impressive houses featured on Season 6 of Selling Sunset, the newly-built N Stanley property that Heather and Bre visit together is nestled in the hills above Sunset Strip, in the coveted ‘Billionaire’s Row’.
Priced at a cool $24.995 million, the plush property offers all the bells and whistles you’d expect from an ultra-luxurious L.A. listing. And a few extras that probably wouldn’t have crossed your mind.
Offering panoramic views of DTLA, the Pacific Ocean, and the canyon, the spec house offers 6 beds, 9 baths, and nearly 10,365 square feet of living space. It also has a custom home theater, fitness center, wine cellar, second living room, and all the finest custom finishes.
The sophisticated smart home also features museum-quality crystals sourced from around the world and placed with extraordinary care throughout the home to energetically enhance the luxury residence. Take a closer look at this stunning Hollywood Hills mansion.
Now, while on the show we see Bre and Heather touring the property (and later, Bre showing the house to her client, Adam), the black N Stanley house from Selling Sunset‘s season 6 was never listed with the Oppenheim Group.
The listing agents for the property are Camellia Yeroomian of The Agency (the other luxury brokerage that has its own Netflix series, Buying Beverly Hills) and Monty Abramov of The Beverly Hills Estates. Which means it isn’t a spoiler if we reveal that the fabulous mansion is still on the market, boasting a slightly altered listing price of $22 million.
300 The Strand, Chelsea’s $22M listing in Manhattan Beach
Set on a corner lot facing one of California’s best beaches, 300 The Strand is a rare oceanfront listing with all the bells and whistles its high price point commands.
With 4 bedrooms, 9 baths, and 4,440 square feet of modern coastal living space — plus a Strand-front patio, and a sports court with basketball hoop and a private, heated entertainment terrace with in-ground spa, fire pit and BBQ — Chelsea’s 300 The Strand listing is definitely one of the most impressive properties featured in Season 6 of Selling Sunset.
Related: Manhattan Beach’s priciest listing is a $36M modern mansion with luxury resort vibes
A few months after the season filmed, the oceanfront home in Manhattan Beach is still on the market, looking for either a buyer (it’s still listed on the O Group’s website for $21,999,000, though it’s worth noting that other industry websites no longer have it listed for sale) or a renter (it also appears as a $55,000/mo rental on popular real estate websites like Zillow or Realtor.com).
The Woodvale Road property in Encino
Heading over to Encino, new O Group agent Bre Tiesi is hoping to land a phenomenal listing set on Woodvale Road.
The newly built, 8-bedroom, 14-bath property is the pinnacle of luxury, offering over 21,000 square feet of meticulously crafted and designer done living space.
With stand-out features like a chef’s prep kitchen, home theater, professional gym, full spa, hair salon, elevator, temperature-controlled wine storage, 14-car garage that doubles as an event space, outdoor basketball court, and fabulous detached two-story guesthouse, the Woodvale Road property was priced at $25 million, and Bre was eyeing the ultra-generous $750,000 commission she would make from the sale.
[embedded content]
(Spoiler ahead) However, a little bit of research shows that Bre did not in fact land the Encino listing. Public records for the property show that it did find a buyer though — even if the O Group was likely not involved in the transaction.
The Encino mansion ended up selling in February 2023 for a cool $17,500,000, a price point that made it one of the biggest transactions in the family-friendly Encino neighborhood.
The Benedict Canyon house Mary was eyeing for one of her clients
For one of her clients — a couple from the UK who works in events and needs plenty of space and a large backyard — Mary was touring a stunning Beverly Hills property aptly dubbed Jardin de los Suenos (the House of Magical Gardens).
The newly designed Benedict Canyon house on Selling Sunset comes with 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths and one half-bath, and a generous 7,000 square feet of living space.
With extra tall ceilings (14-foot ones for the common spaces, and a 23-foot ceiling in the formal entry foyer) paired with equally tall windows and sliding glass doors, the property perfectly embodies the indoor-outdoor Cali living.

Also featuring a total of 5 fireplaces, a 200-bottle temperature-controlled all-glass wine storage room, and a media/screening room, plus a one-bedroom guest house, it’s no surprise that the property didn’t linger on the market for too long.
(Spoiler alert) Listed for $8,999,995 in late July of last year, the property was sold a couple of months later for almost full ask: $8,956,000. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Mary’s clients were the lucky buyers. Public records show that a different brokerage was attached to the sale.
The Oak View Drive house in Encino that Chrishell visits
On Episode 5, S06 of Selling Sunset, we join Chrishell for a property visit that brings us back to Encino to tour a 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom house on Oak View Drive.
Boasting the “best views in Encino”, the 7,003-square-foot home had been completely re-imagined by the developers, who invested about $1 million in property upgrades before listing it themselves.
Featuring beautiful cedar and oak detailing, a perfectly-appointed kitchen, a 1,000-square-foot primary bedroom with a large bathroom, and an infinity pool (plus a quirky neon sign that says “I Licked It So It’s Mine”) the Oak View Drive house also got Amanza and Heather’s seal of approval.
What happened to it since that episode was filmed? (Potential spoilers ahead) While Chrishell mentions that she does have a client that’s looking for something in this price range (especially if the developers/listing agents are willing to adjust the price, if needed), it seems that the property may have not been a good fit after all.
Listed for $7,895,000 million at the time of filming, the Encino house is still on the market — but has recently been re-listed at a revised price of $6.5 million. Take a closer look (swipe for more pics):
The sleek $33M Londonderry Place mansion Bre tours with her client
Bre means business! Her drive to sell eight-figure properties leads to her showing a striking $33 million mansion to one of her clients, Telli Swift, the fiancée of championship boxer Deontay Wilder.
One of the most bonkers mansions we’ve seen this season, the Londonderry house blends black and gold finishes throughout its 14,000 square feet of living space.
With 6 bedrooms, 8 baths, and soaring 30-foot ceilings, this sleek Selling Sunset mansion has an endless list of amenities, including a spa wellness retreat with a cryo chamber, hot yoga and salon, and a two-level glass-bottomed pool.
The striking property was also featured on Architectural Digest a few years back, with its unique amenities and aesthetic appeal attracting over 4.5 million views on YouTube.
[embedded content]
(Spoilers) At the time of writing, shortly after Season 6 of Selling Sunset aired, the Londonderry house is no longer on the market, per public records. However, since no sale was recorded in the meantime, it could very well be that the property is still up for grabs but held as a pocket listing by one of L.A.’s top luxury brokerages.
Poo Bear’s house at Zorada Court
Once again courting her many famous friends, we see Bre touring music producer Poo Bear’s house in Los Angeles, a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath modern retreat overlooking Nichols Canyon.
Poo Bear and his wife, Ashley, are looking to list the property as they’re moving to Miami and Bre is hoping to get the listing, which could potentially earn her a $297,000 commission.
[embedded content]
Beyond the property’s many attributes, Poo Bear’s house is also where music history has been made. The music producer/songwriter has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Usher, Skrillex, and J Balvin, with many of their famous songs being written in this house.
In fact, the white piano (that comes with the house) is where Justin Bieber’s Yummy was created, Poo Bear shares.

As for what happened to the property after its Selling Sunset appearance (warning, spoilers ahead): after first being listed in November 2022 for $8,900,000, Zorada Ct’s price was dropped to $7,995,000 in early February 2023, only to sell less than two months later for $6,850,000. No O Group agent was involved in the transaction, neither on behalf of the seller nor of the buyer.
Chelsea’s listing at 15th Street in Manhattan Beach
Taking us back to dreamy Manhattan Beach, Chelsea walks us through her 3-bed, 4-bath listing with easy beach access.
While the first offer Chelsea got for the property was fairly low ($3.6 million), she knew she priced the house right and wasn’t going to budge until she got the offer up for her client.
And she stayed true to her words, selling the 3-story for $3,900,000 — just $50k shy of the initial asking price of $3,950,000. Way to go, Chelsea!
The Beverly Boulevard condo Heather tours for Heather and Terry Dubrow
Leading the home search for Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow and her husband, plastic surgeon and Botched co-host, Terry Dubrow, Heather tours a $17,500,000 condo at 8899 Beverly Boulevard, hoping she will land her biggest sale to date.
Accompanied by Brett, Heather walks us through the 4-bed, 4.5-bath condo with jaw-dropping views and resort-level amenities.
However, we learn later on that Terry and Heather Dubrow didn’t purchase the place, but they did ‘settle’ on an equally expensive penthouse set in the coveted Century building known as the Cavalli Penthouse (due to its many upscale furnishings that bear the signature of Roberto Cavalli).
Heather wasn’t the only one to land a killer commission though. (Potential spoiler) The $17.5 million penthouse from Selling Sunset was sold a few months later (at full ask), with none other than Brett Oppenheim repping the buyer.
Elvis’ honeymoon house
Okay, so this isn’t an O Group listing, we know. But how can we write an article about all the phenomenal luxury listings featured in this season of Selling Sunset without at least mentioning Elvis and Priscilla’s honeymoon house?
An iconic Palms Springs property, the futuristic residence was actually built in 1960 by pioneering Modernist architect William Krisel.
At the time, its spaceship-like design earned it the moniker “The House of Tomorrow”, but that didn’t last long, as Priscilla and Elvis Presley famously celebrated their honeymoon here in 1967 — after which it became widely known as “Elvis’ Honeymoon Hideaway”.

Last year, the property had a brief stint on the market, listing in early October 2022 for $5,650,000. Unsurprisingly, a month later, the King’s honeymoon house was already sold at full ask.
The Brentwood house Bre shows Saweetie
Heading over to celebrity-friendly, suburban Brentwood, Bre takes us — and her friend, rapper Saweetie — on a tour of a 7,401-square-foot beauty priced at a cool $8,800,000.
The 5-bedroom, 7-bath home at 19th Helena Drive sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and boasts beautiful architectural details. With an expansive open floorplan on the main floor, inviting (and ultra-private) bedrooms shielded by the lush landscaping, and a lower level designed for entertainment — featuring a plush theater and deluxe wet bar, opening directly to the impressive pool with spa, green lawns, barbecue area, and built-in firepit — the house does seem to be a perfect fit for Saweetie.
[embedded content]
(Potential spoilers) However, despite Bre’s excellent match-making, it wasn’t a done deal. Public records show that the property did indeed sell, but the sale closed in late March 2023 and doesn’t show Bre or any other Oppenheim Group agents associated with the transaction.
The selling price was $7,000,000, considerably lower than the $8.8 million ask mentioned on the show. Fun fact: the property was actually first listed for a whopping $12,949,000.
The house Heather and Bre visit on Sunset Plaza Dr
The last property of this season takes us to Sunset Plaza Dr, where a new-to-market 3-bed, 4-bath listing needs to be assessed by Bre and Heather, to see if it’s a good fit for their clients.
Listed for $4,995,000, the 3,364-square-foot bachelor pad has a massive primary bedroom suite that gets several “Oh my gosh” out of Heather, which isn’t an easy feat given the type of properties she’s used to.
This sleek contemporary home located above the Sunset Strip showcases jetliner panoramic views from Downtown to the ocean. It then comes as little surprise that the home also has multiple outdoor decks and a rooftop deck to capitalize on those extraordinary views, as well as an infinity edge pool with a private Baja deck and swim-up bar.
As for what happened to it (Potential spoilers), the Sunset Plaza Dr property sold in April 2023 for $3,150,000. While it may not have been a good fit for any of Heather or Bre’s clients, the O Group did get a significant commission out of the sale, as Jason Oppenheim was the listing agent for the property.
Admittedly, while watching the show, I felt like there were fewer properties and considerably more drama than in previous seasons. However, after writing about each Selling Sunset house that graced our screens in Season 6 of the hit Netflix docu-soap, I realize there were quite a few show-stopping mansions for us to daydream about. Hope we’re going to get to see some of them return in Season 7.

From the Mile High City to the majestic Rocky Mountains, Colorado offers a variety of gorgeous landscapes and outdoor activities. There are countless reasons why you might be considering moving to the state or even buying a home in Colorado this year. If that sounds like you, then you may also be wondering what home styles you’ll find as you begin the homebuying process. Whether you’re looking for a modern new construction home or a cozy mountain bungalow, Colorado has plenty of home styles to choose from.
At Redfin, we’ve compiled a list of 11 Colorado home styles you’re likely to find, whether you’re looking to buy a home in Denver or a sprawling property in Colorado Springs. Let’s explore some of the classic Colorado-style homes.
1) Mountain rustic
Colorado homes are well-known for blending natural elements like stone, wood, and metal. Mountain rustic style homes typically have low-pitched roofs to help withstand heavy snowfall, and large windows that showcase the stunning mountain views. Interiors often have vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, stone fireplaces, and warm finishes to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
2) Bungalow
Colorado is well-known for its abundance of bungalow style homes. These houses were influenced by Craftsman-style homes, and they’re characterized by their single-story layout. Homes have an open concept living space, two-to-three bedrooms, and some bungalows may have an attic space, depending on the steepness of the gabled roof. Other common features of bungalow homes include raised foundations and covered front porches.
3) Colonial
Colonial homes are some of the oldest home styles found in the US, dating back to the early 1600s. For that reason, there are countless architectural variations of Colonial homes. However, these houses have some common elements like their two-story design, steep gable or gambrel roof, centrally-located fireplace or two fireplaces on either side of the home. You’ll also find the exteriors are often stone, wood, or brick, with symmetrical windows on each level. Colonial style houses often have formal living and dining rooms on the main floor with bedrooms located on the second floor.
4) Contemporary
Contemporary homes are perfect for those who value simplicity and elegance in Colorado. These homes feature a minimalist design, with clean lines and a focus on functionality. Expect to see plenty of natural light, open spaces, and a mix of materials like metal and glass throughout these homes.
5) Craftsman
Craftsman style homes in Colorado offer a unique blend of simplicity and elegance. These homes have a low-pitched roof, large front porch, and exposed wooden elements such as rafters and brackets. Inside, expect to see built-in cabinetry, natural materials such as wood and stone, and an open floor plan that connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Craftsman homes are a great option for those who appreciate the beauty of natural materials and the simplicity of functional design.
6) Farmhouse
For Coloradans, farmhouse homes have a rich history rooted in the agricultural landscape. However, you can find these homes in many cities, from countryside towns to suburban areas. Farmhouses typically feature a minimalist style with ample living space, an open kitchen, and outdoor areas. The exterior usually has a classic front porch, wooden siding, and charming dormer windows. Meanwhile, the interior offers plenty of storage and showcases classic wood accents, perfect for those who love rustic yet modern living.
7) New construction
New construction homes feature modern and innovative designs with an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. These homes often incorporate large windows and open floor plans to take advantage of the state’s beautiful natural scenery. Commonly used materials include wood, metal, and stone, and you’ll find a mix of contemporary and traditional architectural styles. Many new homes in Colorado also come equipped with smart home systems and energy-efficient appliances.
8) Prairie
Prairie-style homes are known for their horizontal lines, flat roofs, and open floor plans. They typically feature low-pitched roofs with wide eaves, which provide protection from the sunny Colorado summers. Prairie-style homes often have large windows, highlighting natural light and the views of the surrounding landscape. They’re often built with natural materials such as stone, wood, and brick, which blend into Colorado’s landscape.
9) Ranch
Ranch homes, also known as ranchers or ramblers, are a popular architectural style in Colorado. These homes are typically one-story and feature low-pitched roofs, large windows, and an open floor plan. They have a simple and functional design incorporating natural elements, such as stone or wood, into the exterior. Ranch homes also include a porch or patio to take advantage of the state’s beautiful mountain views. Many of the ranch homes in Colorado have energy efficient features like higher-quality insulation.
10) Mid-century modern
Mid-century modern homes, a popular style that emerged in the 1940-1960s, can be found throughout Colorado. They are known for their emphasis on natural elements, clean and functional aesthetics, and angular features. These homes are typically single-story or split-level. They feature floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for plenty of natural light and an indoor-outdoor living experience. You’ll also notice neutral-colored details and sliding doors that lead to outdoor spaces.
11) Victorian
Victorian homes are not as popular in Colorado as they are in other areas like California or across the East Coast. However, you can still find some Victorian homes in Colorado, particularly in historic neighborhoods in cities such as Denver and Colorado Springs.
