Lauren Conrad, Reality star Turned Fashion Superstar, Is Selling Her Brentwood Home For $4,495,000.
Lauren Conrad instantaneously rocketed to reality stardom at the tender age of 18, when she was cast as the star of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. The MTV show premiered on September 28,2004 and highlighted the lives of students attending Laguna Beach High School. In 2006, Conrad moved to LA to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, while staring in a Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills. During this time, she also worked with Teen Voaue and Kelly Cutrone’s PR firm, People’s Revolution.
While reality TV made her name known, it is her entrepreneurial skills that has launched Conrad to the top of her profession. She is a television personality, fashion designer with her own lines of clothing, author, and real estate investor. Her first book, “L.A. Candy” was released in 2009 and made it to the New York Times Bestseller List, as did the sequels, “Sweet Little Lies” and “Sugar and Spice.” She went on to start fashion lines LC Laurent Conrad in 2009 and Paper Crown in 2011, and developed a line of cosmetics. It was also in 2009 that she purchased her first property in Pacific Palisades, which she sold earlier this year.
The home currently on the market in Brentwood is the home that Conrad and her husband, William Tell lived in and has 6 bedrooms and 5 baths. Sitting on just over a quarter of an acre, this 4,303 square foot traditional 2 story home is private and gated, and has an abundance of grace and style. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this home is the perfect getaway from the city, providing a tranquil atmosphere after a long day.
