Kat Von D lists historic California house – but would you swim in this eerie pool?
“LA Ink” tattoo artist Katherine Von Brachenberg, known as Kat Von D, announced in October 2021 that she is ditching the California sun for Indiana and she has now listed her beloved Victorian L.A. mansion for $15 million.
And while the property has a great deal of high-end amenities to offer a buyer, its overall look seems to reflect the now makeup mogul’s trademark Gothic style.
Including a blood-red swimming pool.
At first glance, it’s hard to believe that the 13-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom estate was also featured in the Steve Martin comedy “Cheaper by the Dozen” years before Von D purchased the home for $6.5 million in 2016, Yahoo reported.
Built in 1896, the 3-story Victorian — almost all 12,565-square-feet of it — was completely restored by Von D, who added some upgrades, including a theater with a stage and a hidden bar, Dirt said.
Other impressive features, according to the listing on Realtor.com, of the estate include:
Seven fireplaces
Traditional floor plan
Grand salon
Library
Ballroom
Chef’s kitchen
Carriage house with two bedrooms and one bathroom
Secret door to backyard
After Von D bought another property in Indiana in 2020, she said that she had no intention of putting the Los Angeles home on the market, Insider reported, but has since changed her mind.
Von D, who gave her first tattoo at the age of 14, dropped out of high school at 16 in order to take a job at Sin City Tattoo in L.A., Insider said. She would later star in the realty TV show “Miami Ink” before landing her own spinoff series “LA Ink”.
