Last fall, real housewife Dorit Kemsley and her husband Paul listed their residence in Beverly Hills for sale for $7.5 million. It’s still on the market—albeit with a price reduction that has reduced the property’s ask to $7 million—but now it has company: the couple listed this home in Encino for sale this month with a $9.495 million ask.
The house slots squarely in the contemporary farmhouse style, a design that continues to be very popular for newer builds. This one dates to 2019; the Kemsleys are the first owners of the 8,900 square-footer.
From the street, the property sets a dramatic black-and-white opposition, with black gates, doors, fixtures and trim. The interior décor works with a blend of varied wood tones and contrasting textural flourishes; the living room presents the eye with wide-plank, satin-finished floors, a ceiling in intersecting plank, a bookmatched accent wall housing an inset gas fireplace, and a chevron stairwell wall embellishment. The six-bedroom home’s details generally follow suit; carefully composed, and occasionally a little glam.
The outside living area features an excellent layout, and is accessible via optional glass walls. A pool sits between a pool and pool house, giving the impression of a courtyard. A basketball half-court, putting green, master suite balcony, and summer kitchen are a few of this property’s additional exterior details.
