Tinder Co-Founder Sean Rad Lists Elegant L.A. Home for $32M

Tinder co-founder Sean Rad has a property up for sale in Los Angeles with an asking price of $32 million. The heavily modified 1936-built mansion contains five bedrooms and at least eight baths across its 10,613 sq. ft. of interiors.

Beyond the double glass doors of the home’s entryway, the interiors quickly emerge as a recent and very cohesive revision; the foyer features a three-sided upper-level balcony and a pair of industrial-inspired pendant light fixtures with motorized adjustable shades, the opening remarks in a statement that is developed through the home.

The concept is the work of Hallworth Design; it favors clean, modern lines, an emphasis on natural textures (hardwood and stone), warm neutral tones, and towering flourishes for spatial dazzle — including a set of oversized steel-framed French doors and a recessed built-in bookshelf that soars to eight or ten feet in height. The kitchen is a case study in the meditative and luxurious, with a floor-to-ceiling stone installation for a cooking area, a simple waterfall island, and discreet, even covert, storage.

The office is another remarkable room. Sheathed in wood plank and saturated by natural light via a multi-pane steel-framed French door set, it employs steel girders for an industrial flourish, the combination suggesting a svelte balancing act.

The bedrooms, baths and specialized spaces—the list of the latter includes a theater and a game room with a backlit bar display occupying a full wall—continue the narrative, with abundant natural stone, warm neutrals and grays, and wood, including a master headboard that appears to be constructed of sinker or drift wood, a subtle and fleeting hint of 1970s naturalism.

The exterior living area features a fireplace pergola with a slatted hardwood ceiling, the highlight of a rustic stone patio that overlooks the pool and sun lounge.

The listing follows Rad’s midsummer 2022 purchase of Il Sogno, Yvette Mimieux’s extravagantly detailed mansion in Bel-Air. He paid $35 million for the property last July.
