Inside Kirstie Alley’s Los Feliz Mansion That She Sold For $7.8 Million
KEY POINTS
The house was constructed in 1931 and features a number of luxurious amenities
She bought the property for about $3 million in 2000 and sold it for $7.8 million this year
Kirstie Alley secured a huge profit from her six-bedroom estate in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, after reaching an agreement with a buyer this week.
The “Look Who’s Talking” star sold the property for $7.8 million, which is way more than the $2.998 million she spent to purchase it back in 2000, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Represented by Deasy Penner Podley, the mansion was sold in an off-market sale. But it’s important to note that when Alley listed the property in late 2018, she was asking for $11.97 million. In May 2019, she decided to lower the price to $10.75 million.

Pasadena | $1.489 Million
A 1908 Craftsman house with five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, on a 0.2-acre lot
Pasadena was once a popular winter destination for those from colder parts of the country, and is considered by many to have one of the world’s best collections of Craftsman-style homes. This one has retained much of its original exterior character, including the gabled roofline and covered front porch. It is in the Garfield Heights neighborhood, a few blocks from the designated landmark district of the same name. Old Pasadena, with its stores and restaurants, is about two miles away; downtown Los Angeles is a 25-minute drive.
La Cañada Flintridge: home to Descanso Gardens, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a healthy stock of hillside homes with commanding views of the city below. Between the houses draped along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains or the larger estates on the south side of the city, it’s hard to go wrong but it’s also hard to find anything for less than $1 million.
Here’s a look at the highest- and lowest-priced homes in La Cañada Flintridge.
High: A dazzling blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco style, this 1920s mansion has been expanded over the years to include a pub, theater, gym, sauna and lanai. Throughout the 13,000-square-foot floor plan, one-of-a-kind spaces combine Batchelder tile, barrel ceilings, stained-glass windows and custom art such as a peacock made of colorful tile in the bathroom. Koi ponds, fountains and a swimming pool liven up the grounds outside.
A 1925 Tudor Revival house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, on a 0.1-acre lot
This house is in the Carthay Square section of Los Angeles, in the Carthay Square Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. Like many of its neighbors, it was designed in the Tudor Revivial style, and the owners have updated the interior while retaining the original facade.
Several museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Petersen Automotive Museum, are within a mile of the property, as is the stretch of Wilshire Boulevard known as the Miracle Mile. Downtown Los Angeles is about 20 minutes away by car.
