Kim Kardashian completes modern renovations on $70million Malibu ‘dream home’… nearly two years after purchasing the beachfront property once owned by Cindy Crawford
Kim Kardashian finished the renovations on the $70 million Malibu mansion that was previously owned by Cindy Crawford.
The reality TV personality, 43, recently completed the modern updates and transformed the luxurious, sprawling beachfront estate nearly two years after purchasing the space.
The breathtaking mansion previously had a Mediterranean-inspired look, which she changed up for a contemporary, monochromatic design to complement her $60 million megamansion in Hidden Hills.
The Kardashians star — who was roasted by fans for her quirky woven braids as they compared her new look to Founding Fathers’ wigs — began renovating her additional property in early 2023 and has now completed the transformation over a year later.
This comes shortly after her ex-husband Kanye West slashed $14 million off the asking price of his dilapidated Malibu mansion, which has been gutted and now sits in ruin.
According to Architectural Digest, the estate was previously owned by the supermodel and her husband Rande Gerber.
In 2015, Crawford and Gerber bought the home, which the supermodel showcased in her 73 Questions video interview for Vogue in 2017.
One year later, they listed for $60 million.
It was purchased by Yellowstone actress Barret Swatek and her husband, investor Adam Weiss, in 2018 for $45 million.
They later listed the home for sale in March 2022 for a whopping $99.5 million.
In September 2022, Kardashian closed on the sale — taking out a staggering $48 million mortgage for the purchasing price of $70.4 million — and also gave fans a glimpse of the incredible space during an episode of The Kardashians, which aired last summer.
In the episode, she gushed over achieving her dream of owning a home in Malibu and told her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, that she cried when she closed the deal.
She gave a sneak peek of the beachfront property, which was built in 1944 and boasts four bedrooms and six bathrooms in the dual-level mansion with 7,450 square footage of space.
The house sits atop a three-acre lot, which includes a tennis court, pool and spa as well as fire pit overlooking the ocean.
Additionally, the lavish backyard also features a cabana with an outdoor fireplace and a private stairway to the nearby El Sol Beach.
The entrepreneur began renovations at the beginning of 2023 and made changes to the wraparound deck flooring from a light-colored tile to a smooth concrete for a sleek and modern style.
Additionally, she added monochromatic outdoor furniture for lounging around the luxurious pool.
She also updated the space with a fresh new coat of paint to match the modern color scheme.
The SKIMS founder also updated the landscaping on the surrounding hill, adding taller trees and more greenery to her private oasis.
Those updates were completed that fall but then Kardashian decided to also change up the roof of her newly renovated home, which has now been finished.
Her trendy and sleek abode is located on billionaire’s row and places her among A-list neighbors such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Neil Diamond.
