With their Hollywood Hills house up for sale, RHOBH fixture Teddi Mellencamp and her husband Edwin Arroyave have branched out into the rapidly growing community of Encino for their newest residential acquisition. The couple are picking up this brand new postmodern mixed architectural.
The house had been listed at $6.49 million prior to the sale, but no sale price has yet been recorded. As of the writing of this article, the property is listed as contingent.
What can be determined, however, is that this contemporary traditional was completed this year, and that it measures 8,550 sq. ft. It contains seven bedrooms and eight baths, and features a forbiddingly businesslike set of gates with brick pilasters as a preamble.
Outside, the moody house comes off as luxurious and reticent, with grayscale toning and a grandiose covered entry. Within, it features a wealth of natural-toned hardwood and natural stone, a semi-open downstairs living area, a staircase with a gracefully understated balustrade, and optional glass walls that create indoor/outdoor living spaces. A wet bar, a double-island kitchen, and a home cinema represent the foundation of this home’s potential for entertaining guests.
The marble used for the bar and the fireplace accent wall creates a nice textural motif which, one hopes, is picked up in the master suite—it is. The master bedroom is a gem, with pocketing glass opening the room broadly to the large second-floor terrace, which overlooks the outdoor living area; a pool with a waterfall, a spa, a cabana, a putting green and a basketball court are among this expansive property’s fair-weather recreational options.
