‘Queer Eye’ Star Scoops a Stylish LA Modern for $1.4M

Bobby Berk, a member of the Fab Five on Netflix’s Queer Eye, is seen in glimpses as he frantically, and always successfully, squeezes extensive renovation projects into a weeklong window. The interior designer and TV personality has become known for creating contemporary interiors with thoughtful color schemes, so it should come as no surprise that he and his husband have impeccable taste when it comes to real estate. The pair just proved that by locking down a cool-gray modern in the Franklin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles for $1.4 million. Variety reports that Berk paid $200,000 above the original asking price, so it must be a worthy home for the recent Emmy winner to enjoy his show’s success.

Newly renovated and move-in ready, the 1,600-square-foot villa includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and eastern views of the rolling hills L.A. is famous for. Painted in two shades of gray, the home is perfectly suited to Berk’s subtle and sleek aesthetic. Outside, a gate opens onto a poured concrete porch painted to match the home’s exteriors, and a rustic wood deck leads to the front door. Just behind lie the home’s open-concept interiors, with pale hardwoods and clean white walls throughout.

Downstairs, the kitchen maintains the home’s ivory color palette while throwing in a bit of contrast with a black-and-white tile backsplash. Of the pad’s two guest bedrooms, one boasts room-wide, floor-to-ceiling accordion glass doors, opening onto a balcony. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and an all-white bathroom with stylish chevron-pattern tiles. A sun-soaked rooftop terrace is accessible via all three bedrooms, offering one-of-a-kind, 360-degree views of the city.
