Katie Holmes listed this modern Tudor residence in Calabasas for sale this month. The house dates to 2007; Holmes has owned it since 2014, and paid $3.8 million for it. She’d like to find a buyer willing to part with $4.625 million to call it their own.
The lot is nestled against a hillside, giving it a desirably private cul-de-sac location, and within The Oaks gated community. The main home’s architecture incorporates a modern sense of scale and traditional manor and Tudor design elements, including a porte-cochere and half-timber accents, as well as a mix of stacked stone and stucco exterior walls.
The main house features 5 bedrooms and 6 baths in 6,040 square feet of interior living space. The sense of scale that graces the interiors is thoroughly contemporary, with ceilings frequently exceeding 12’; the living room also features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace accent wall in figured stone, and a host of clerestories, to enhance the effect.
An understated look predominates, with distressed plank hardwood, off-white, and arched doorways helping to define the design style. The home is family-oriented; the staircase and the open-concept family room, kitchen, and dayroom are within sight of one another, and offer a smooth transition for day-to-day life.
Amenities include a library, a large master suite, and a large outdoor living area, where an oversized pool, fire feature, lounging and dining area, loggia, kitchen, and sports court join a guest casita in the nearly half-acre of grounds.
Holmes appears in the upcoming feature ‘Brahms: The Boy II’; her last silver screen appearance found her in good company, joining Cate Blanchett and Rihanna for caper shenanigans in 2018’s ‘Ocean’s 8’.
