Laura Prepon buys one home, lists another

Laura Prepon, best known for her role as Donna on That ’70s Show just bought a Los Feliz home for $2.317 million. The house is 2,550 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths according to listing info. It was offered at $2.35 million.

The home has a gated driveway and the listing calls it a “private mini-estate.” The view is pretty spectacular. And from the few pictures we could find, it seems like a much better place than the home she’s trying to sell. It’s lighter and has a more sophisticated feel. Big windows, lots of open spaces, plenty of room to spread out.

On the other hand, there’s the home she listed with her ex-boyfriend Christopher Masterson, from Malcolm in the Middle fame (and brother to Prepon’s co-star Danny Masterson).

At 4,801 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, the house is definitely much larger than the one Prepon just bought. At $2.99 million, it’s probably a good deal. But we’re just not digging the decor nearly as much as her new digs.

With dark walls and heavy window coverings and wood floors, the place just feels… heavy. We love us some libraries (and wood floors), but the all wood-paneled, wood floored library at this place is a little too much for us. Maybe it’s the tan couch that almost blends in. Maybe it’s the fact that everything blends into that room.

Of course, it could be the bad photos - when will these real estate agents learn to take some decent photos? Because if this is a spectacular home then your pics just don’t do it justice. Because it doesn’t look as large as it should. It looks dreary. And while we love the cabinets in the kitchen, that busted old butcher block and white floor just HAVE to go. Somebody set them up with an appointment on Designed to Sell, would you?
