Okay, so I’m super excited to talk to you guys today about my girl Ellen. This chick is pretty much my icon and I absolutely love any and everything about her including her wife (I’m a huge Arrested Development fan). So, if you’re interested in getting the scoop on Ellen DeGeneres house and her life that will make you feel like a complete and utter failure then you’re in luck! Dry your tears, toss away that shame and look no further than these next few lines.
Where does Ellen DeGeneres live?
Ellen is a master house flipper. Over the last several years she has profited millions upon millions by buying, renovating, designing to a tee, and selling multi-million dollar mansions in Southern California. It’s tough to keep up with which Ellen house is actually where she lives, but we’ve got the scoop!
Ellen DeGeneres House Beverly Hills (Current)
This woman never sleeps. In a shocking deal made in May 2019, Ellen and Portia swooped into a lavish listing in Beverly Hills. The price tag? A whopping $45 million. The seller? Adam Levine.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo purchased the home in March 2018 from Will & Grace creator Max Mutchnick for $33.9 million. They then spent a reported $7 million to overhaul the place, ultimately listing it for $47.5 million.
Just one month after listing it, Ellen Degeneres and Portia DeRossi paid a brain-shattering $45 million for the home.
The English Tudor style home sits on a 1-acre lot, has a total of 10,376 square feet of living space, with 5 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The grand entrance is 2-stories and the living room is 50 feet long. It’s nuts, y’all.
The sprawling grounds are immaculately manicured and include a swimmer’s pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a putting green. Doubt Ellen is out there playing golf, but cool to have.
If I had to guess, I’d say Ellen will likely live in this home. I’d be shocked if this was another flip. It’s not a fixer-upper as it was JUST renovated by Adam Levine, and Ellen has said that she may want to sell her current residence (more on that below).
Ellen DeGeneres House Hollywood Hills (Current)
DeGeneres paid $3.16 million for this gorgeous mid-century modern ranch home located in the Hollywood Hills with wife Portia de Rossi in 2014. it’s absolutely to die for. The 2,935-square-foot home was originally built in 1956 and sits on the hills with a gorgeous view of the surrounding canyon from virtually every room in the house.
The isn’t the first time she’s owned it, actually. Ellen owned the home from 2005-2007.
It comes complete with a 2-car garage and all-white floors with floor-to-ceiling windows. Features include dark-wood cabinetry, an open kitchen and rooms with sliding glass doors for an idyllic indoor/outdoor living space. There are 4 bedrooms and the master suite includes a built-in bookcase, a walk-in closet and a working fireplace. There’s additionally a beautiful, spacious backyard terrace and pool area.
Ellen DeGeneres House Montecito (Current)
Where is Ellen DeGeneres house Montecito? Ellen and her wife purchased a gorgeous Balinese-style California home in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara in January of this year. This was her first real estate purchase of 2019 and we’re pretty sure it won’t be her last given her extensive history of house flipping.
The 8,188-square-foot home was purchased for $27 million and sits on an 8.24-acre lot. It has 5 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and includes features such as a cabana which doubles as a gym and a basalt pebble infinity pool that overlooks the ocean. The home also comes with a two-bedroom guest house.
The pair previously owned another 6-bedroom home in the area (apparently Montecito is where it’s at!) but sold it to Netflix’s Ted Sarandos to the tune of $34 million. More on that below.
Ellen Beach House Carpinteria (Current)
The pair also own a gorgeous beach home in the uber-swanky Carpinteria just south of Montecito. The home was previously owned by real estate developer Robert F. Maguire III, however, the two snagged up the property when it went into foreclosure for $18.6 million.
The compound sits on 1.3 acres and includes a lighted clay tennis court as well as an 883-square-foot, 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom guest house. The 5,979-square-foot home has a motor court at the main entrance, a 3-car garage, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The master suite comes complete with a walk-in closet, an en suite bathroom and a balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The home, which was originally built in 1979, also has floor-to-ceiling windows, an office/library area, upgraded hardwood floors, a spacious kitchen with top-grade appliances and an outdoor fireplace.
Those of you curious about Ellen DeGeneres house fire – DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi were included in the list of numerous celebrities and individuals who were forced to evacuate their homes in the midst of wildfires ravaging Southern California in 2018.
