When I saw that Mischa Barton was putting her home up for sale, it kind of made sense. She doesn't really work much anymore so her income is probably stagnant. Then I saw the price of her home and my jaw dropped along with the bite of Cinnabon in my mouth. No worries though, for a big man I move quickly when it comes to food hitting the floor. The OC was pretty popular but not $8.5M popular. I don't know she ever afforded this house. Maybe she couldn't. Teaser rates were not just for everyday people. It is a really nice house, but I don't know if it is $8.5M nice. Of course it does have six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. When you live alone and have ten bathrooms do you think you would ever use them all? Do you feel guilty if you are not using the other five bedrooms?
Sounds like she bought it as an investment, to rent as a party house, not to live in (8 baths for 10 BRS? you do the4 math.)
ReplyDeleteI love a house with more bathrooms than bedrooms. i would trade a bedroom for a nice bath any day!
ReplyDeletethat's a nice home.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ moving fast when it comes to food hitting the floor. I never understood a single person with more than 3 bedrooms or baths for that matter unless its an investment property sucks for Mischa in this market. She is lucky to break even. What is the property taxes for a property like this?
ReplyDeleteSoooo typical of SoCal living. Get your break in the entertainment industry and buy the biggest house whose monthly payments you can afford as a tax shelter and status symbol (even if you don't need all that space). Hold onto it while the market value goes up, assuming all the while that your career will only go up. When your career tanks, sell it.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU REMEMBER EVERYONE THOUGHT SHE WAS THE NEXT NEW YOUNG ACTRESS TO BREAK THROUGH. I GUESS SHE THOUGHT SO ALSO..
ReplyDeleteYears ago , when our parents were driving us around camping, my brother and I used to yell out NYPF whenever a ritzy Cadillac or Lincoln went by (shows how long ago because Mercs and BMWs weren't prevalent).
ReplyDeleteNot Yet Paid For!
she's probably puked in all 10 bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have a big kitchen. And a swimming pool. And a view.
ReplyDeleteWow, could you imagine her property taxes??? It is a nice house though
ReplyDeleteJust because she's asking that much doesn't mean she paid that much.
ReplyDeleteLove the outside of the house. Would change the dining area.
ReplyDeleteWhat Cancan said. $8.5 mil? Geez, wtf was Mischa thinking???
ReplyDeleteIt might not cost as much, but I preferred Ashlee's house.
If I had a house that big (and I do love the Tuscan look of this cozy home), I would invite Gerard Butler over and we would make use of ALL the bedrooms!
ReplyDeleteThen I'd invite Aaron Eckhart over and get twice the usage!
;-)
It's worth $8.5m because she forgot somewhere her stash of coke. It also explains why she needed a house with ten bathrooms.
ReplyDelete@ ms cool:
ReplyDeletei have a pool. and a "view". now that view is nothing but houses and is partially blocked by the new hospital. and our beautiful pool that we spent a fortune custom designing and building doesn't get near the use we planned on because of the damn neighbors. the brutal desert sun eats up pool toys and chairs like nobody's business, and we had NO idea what our gas and electric bills would be during the summer.
be careful what you wish for! ;-)
i do love my pool, though. i just hate my neighbors!
She bought for around $5M in 2005. The listing doesn't say short sale, so she might not be underwater.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she didn't do something stupid like cash out the equity at the height of the bubble and spend it.
I live in a 3 bedroom house by myself. I could use a 4th bedroom for guests. The house is too big for her for sure, but it makes sense if some of the bedrooms are used for storage or an office.
