Gigi and Bella Hadid's childhood home, on sale for € 30 million
The mansion has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
The house in which sisters Gigi (25 years old) and Bella Hadid (24) grew up is for sale. A mansion from which the model's mother, Yolanda Hadid (57), got rid of six years ago and which, now, her current owner is trying to make money. Because he has carried out some reforms that he considers are worthy of substantially raising their price compared to what Yolanda pocketed on her day. 30 million euros is what is asked for this mansion in Malibu that, on its day, hung the 'for sale' sign for about 16 million euros.
The building where Gigi and Bella, today two great names on the catwalks, spent their childhood has six bedrooms distributed over three floors, nine bathrooms, a special room to enjoy television as if you were in the cinema and an exclusive refrigerator for storing fruit -a whim within the reach of few-. Although perhaps the most striking are the impressive views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains that can be enjoyed from the infinity pool located outside the building. A Mediterranean-style house with several very spacious living rooms.
As noted, the house has undergone a reform, but, when the Hadid family lived there, it had a recording studio in the basement -where the aforementioned cinema room was also located-, a games room and even a private bar , anyone's dream since the pandemic began. They also had their own gym with a space for performing massages.
It was Yolanda herself who, in 2014, shortly before divorcing her second husband, David Foster (71), explained that the main reason she got rid of the house was the health problems she was carrying: "This is the house of our dreams, but due to my battle with Lyme disease for the past two years, I no longer have the strength to manage this nearly 5 acre property - over 20,000 square feet, about 1,500 built on - and should really focus on my recovery with as little stress as possible.In addition, the fact that her children were growing up and, little by little, spending less and less time at the family home, caused the house to become too big for her.
The person in charge of selling the house is one of the most prestigious real estate agents in the area: Chris Cortazzo. So much so that he is considered an icon in Malibu, where he was born, grew up and, now, is dedicated to helping well-known faces to buy and get rid of those properties that they no longer want to have in their heritage. "My clients trust me because I know the market better than anyone. I understand the locations and lifestyle offered by each unique area," he explains on his personal website, where you can see the properties he has in his portfolio and underlines the 25 years that leads in a sector that dominates.
Beyond Malibu
Now, Gigi lives in an apartment in New York, in Manhattan. It was last August when it was learned that she had settled there, after having decorated a corner house to her liking, together with her partner, Zayn Malik (28). A property built by joining two properties acquired in the same building: the first, in 2015; the second, in December 2018. And where, now, she enjoys that life with the singer and of which details of her interior have been known thanks to the images that she herself shares on Instagram.
Her sister Bella hers has a duplex in the same city, but in another neighborhood: Soho. A spacious apartment decorated with the most sophisticated furniture that it has also shown on its social networks and in which black, white and gray are the three tones that predominate as part of the sobriety and elegance with which it has decorated all stays. The same one that, recently, it was known that she wanted to get rid of.
On her side, Yolanda, her mother, settled in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. With what she got from the sale of that impressive mansion in Malibu that she is looking for an owner - and that she has seen how the price fluctuated - she bought a maiden flat where she could start a new life and have more comforts during the crisis of that disease. led him to leave the house of his dreams.
