Back in the early aughts, when Paris Hilton was starring in the reality television treasure The Simple Life and hadn’t yet embarked on her important DJ career, the socialite resided in a Hollywood Hills home that truly epitomized the era, with many a sparkling chandelier, a stripper pole and also a giant portrait of herself.
The heiress sold the 3,064-square-foot Sunset Strip abode for $3.87 million in 2007, and included all of her furnishings and decor in the deal, because this is timeless style we’re talking about, people.
The buyers maintained most of Hilton’s decor, which had all been custom-designed in the “Hollywood Regency” style, and would often rent the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house out to fans eager to recreate Hilton’s early-2000s best life. “It’s all the same furniture—the stripper pole, the white furniture, the huge picture of her signed in the living room,” The Agency broker Rebekah Schwartz Sklar, who shared the listing with Mauricio Umansky, told Observer.
But all good things must come to an end, and the house appeared on the sales market in October 2018 with a $4.8 million price tag attached to it.
Now, the latest update: The sale just closed this month, and it seems the final sales price was $3.9 million—not much more than what Hilton sold the house for in 2007.
The home was once again purchased furnished, so there will still be Hilton-approved items like the mirrored table in the formal dining room, underneath the vaulted ceiling and dangling crystal light fixture.
“You don’t buy this house not furnished,” Sklar explained. “She [the buyer] loved the campiness of it, and realized this would be a good rental for her in Los Angeles.” So yes, it turns out that Hilton’s erstwhile home will continue to be a coveted rental pad in the Hollywood Hills.
