Tattoo artist and "L.A. Ink" star Kat Von D has listed her Hollywood Gothic mansion for $2.5 million as her wedding to D.J. Deadmaus draws nearer. She bought the house for $2.175 million in 2011.
The house boasts a living space of 4,148 square feet and has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Other facilities include a turret entry, original tiles, high ceilings, a retractable project screen in the living room, an office and a library.
The listing reads: The living room features red and purple velvet-upholstered chairs, drippy candles with hardened wax spilling out of the fireplace and on to the floor, creepy paintings of ghastly faces, a dramatic candelabra, and mini replicas of deer on the mantle. The gold wallpaper-covered dining room, meanwhile, doesn't look like a place for taking in a casual meal after work, thanks to ornately carved high-back chairs and a dark wood table with stone carvings and a cross sitting atop it.
"It's one of the few [1920s Spanish homes] that has not been bastardized," says the home's listing agent, Jamie Sher of The Sher Group "A lot of classic design elements have been kept intact.It's got an incredible vibe and it shows really strong. It's beautiful. It's likely to sell to another creative type."
Von D rose to fame and became known as a household tattoo artist after her appearance on the reality show, "LA Ink." Her relationship with Sandra Bullock's ex, Jesse James, was also much publicized.
