DeGeneres and de Rossi are known in Hollywood to be among the most successful flippers. The couple likes to buy high-end homes and sell them after owning them for a few months or years.
This time, the pair put a $6.9 million price tag to their estate in a seaside community of Montecito, California. According Variety, the English Tudor residence is postcard-perfect.
On a good day, it’s just an hour-and-a-half drive out of downtown Beverly Hills. DeGeneres and de Rossi are selling the property for almost twice the price because they acquired it for only $3.6 million four months ago.
The estate was reportedly built as two barns in England. Then, they were carefully maintained and then extensively updated. The antique structures were dismantled and shipped to California where they were reassembled and linked together.
The attractive property is hidden amid thick woods. It has two bedrooms and two full and two half bathrooms. The property roughly measures 5,500 square feet.
DeGeneres and de Rossi’s properties in Montecito also include a Balinese-inspired compound, which they purchased for $27 million in 2019. Later in the year, they spent $1.9 million for a one-acre fixer-upper next door.
In July 2019, DeGeneres and de Rossi sold their beach house in Carpinteria, California for $24 million, even though they purchased the property for $18.6 million only. They kept the oceanfront estate for less than two years before deciding to sell it.
The 6,862-square-foot estate sits on 1.13 acres of land, including 77 feet of beachfront property. It features three bedrooms and bathrooms. The living room features a floor-to-ceiling window that slides open to a deck with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean.
Flipping houses has become a hobby and a second career for DeGeneres. According to the host, she does it because she likes changing her environment every so often.
“Changing my environment is in my blood. Like, the living room has probably been through five or six incarnations since,” DeGeneres told Architectural Digest in 2011.
