Eva Longoria Is Selling Her Longtime L.A. Mansion—With One Feature She Won’t Miss

“Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria is selling her 8,600-square-foot, three-story home in the Hollywood Hills for $3.8 million.

She picked up the six-bedroom, nine-bath home in 2006, at the top of the housing bubble, for $3.6 million, meaning that she’ll walk away from the property right around break-even, if she gets full asking.

Longoria, 43, gave her 4.5 million Instagram followers a walkthrough of the house last month, in a series of videos posted to Instagram Stories.

“Guys, I’m leaving my house of 10 years,” she says, according to Entertainment Tonight. “Everything’s packed, and everything’s empty. Table gone, beds are gone, food is gone, I’m so hungry.”

She shot videos of the master bedroom, master bath, and walk-in closet, saying “I’m going to miss this place.”

She added, “I’ll tell you what I’m not going to miss are these stairs. Every time I’d get in my car and I forget my glasses or my phone, I’m like, ‘Ugh, I gotta go all the way back upstairs to get it.’”

A winding, wrought-iron staircase connects the home’s three levels.

One of the home’s coolest features is found on the ground floor—a pool with windows facing a large sitting area downstairs, giving guests a view inside the pool, and swimmers a view of what’s happening inside. Just off the pool is a deck, lounge chairs, and outdoor kitchen.

The kitchen is located on the top floor. It’s anchored by a hefty center island that seats five, in-island gas range, and white, wood-paneled refrigerator. Nearby, there’s an open-concept living room with a fireplace that flows into an informal dining room with another fireplace.

The master bedroom has a fireplace, as does the master bath. To top it off, there’s a large walk-in closet with a rolling ladder.

“I love this closet,” she says.

Beside the fish tank-style pool, the home’s second coolest feature is undoubtedly its home theater, which comes with its own wraparound bar in the lobby. Inside the theater, Longoria put up posters from her various projects—from TV’s “Desperate Housewives” and “Telenovela” to her film roles in “The Sentinel” and “Over Her Dead Body.”

Longoria has amassed quite an impressive real estate portfolio. In 2015, she spent $11.4 million to buy a compound in the Hollywood Hills previously owned by Tom Cruise (she’s since listed that compound for $14 million). This time last year, she sold another home in the Hollywood Hills for $1.4 million.
