Ellen DeGeneres lists condos, moving back to previous home

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, known for her love of fixing up and selling houses, has listed her adjacent units in a Westwood condo building for close to $16 million.

Get out the road map and the moving truck. She bought the two Wilshire Corridor condos for that amount in July after selling her primary residence on the Westside to Napster co-founder Sean Parker for $55 million.

The smaller of the two condos, which are for sale separately or together, has been redone and features an elevator opening directly to the unit, stone and wide-plank oak flooring, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half-bath. Priced at $7.495 million, it has 3,813 square feet of living space.

The larger condo contains 4,158 square feet and is listed for $8.495 million. There are two bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

Together the units take up an entire floor with golf course and downtown views.

The digs appear to have been only temporary as DeGeneres and her spouse, Portia de Rossi, prepared to move back into a property she previously owned. That two-part deal involved buying back the Hollywood Hills West home of Jodie Fosters spouse, Alexandra Hedison, this summer and an adjoining property for a combined $10 million the same amount she sold both properties for in 2007.

Hedison, who married Foster in April, rebuilt and updated the 1950s four-bedroom home with a swimming pool, installing new wiring, plumbing, roofing, windows, a security system and other improvements.

The re-formed DeGeneres compound has more than 1.6 acres of grounds.

Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency is the listing agent for the condominiums. Barry Gray of Deasy Penner & Partners was Hedisons listing agent.
