Kanye West Selling His House To Move In With Kim Kardashian

As they prepare to move into their first home together, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West put their respective Los Angeles properties up for sale.

And while reality star Kim has shifted her Beverly Hills home for $5million, including all of its furniture, her rapper boyfriend hasn’t had quite so much luck.

After a failed attempt spanning several months to sell his bachelor pad via a pocket listing, meaning it doesn’t show up in real estate documents, Kanye has officially put it on the market.


According to TMZ, he is selling his three bedroom, four bathroom home, located low in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles, for $3.3million.

The house’s eye-popping décor is an homage to kitsch pop culture, with artworks of iconic American family The Jetsons adorning the walls, giant Toy Story figurines, Andy Warhol ‘Campbell’s Soup Can’ paintings, and huge piles of stuffed animals.

Built on spec, the 4,200-square-foot, three-level house started out as a beige stucco monolith which the rapper transformed with the help of interior designer Don Stewart over three years ‘into a cross between a museum and a Louis Vuitton boutique’.

He bought it in 2003 for $1,750,000, and the house is decked out with a ceiling mural in the dining room and French walnut floors.

But it is not the first time Kanye has attempted to sell the house, and he first listed the property in 2010 for $3.995million.

After installing walnut flooring, and opening up the space for a loft-like feel, he commissioned a series of six Jetsons ‘portraits,’ to accompany the game room’s chair of stuffed animals by Fernando and Humberto Campana and a Smurf-blue Igloo chair by Eero Koivisto.

The guest room has its own Jetsons-esque touch: a 1970′s desk in white acrylic, reflecting pink from a fuchsia silk-screen Marilyn behind.

But Kanye saved the real glamour for his master bedroom. The suite features an Antonio Citterio bed draped with red-fox and chinchilla throws.

And as you would expect of self-professed fashionista, West’s closet could compete with Anna Wintour’s with 8-feet-high sliding racks for almost 200 pairs of trainers.

Burglars broke into the house in June of last year while Kanye was in England performing with Jay-Z.

Kim and Kanye are currently renovating the $11million Bel Air home they purchased earlier this year, which will be their first love nest together.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have both quietly put their LA homes on the market amid speculation they are moving in together.


The 31-year-old reality star has pocket listed her $4.8m Beverly Hills home – which she bought in 2010 – with an asking price of $5m.

Kanye, meanwhile, has also listed his Los Angeles home – also a pocket listing, meaning it doesn’t show up in real estate documents, according to TMZ.
