CELEBRITY PROPERTIES
Meghan Markle’s LA
home before royalty
A charming colonial-style home
BY TOP TEN REAL ESTATE NEWS
W
hen Megan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex and a
princess of the United Kingdom, first got her act-
ing part in Suits in 2011, she was married to Trevor
Engelson and they rented a charming Colonial-style home
in Los Anegeles.
Now for sale at $1.8 million,
the charismatic property
is located in Hancock Park
neighborhood - a stone’s
throw
from
downtown
Hollywood. Though it was
necessary for her to live nine
months of the year in Toronto
while filming, this is where
she would return between
filming and where she called
home until her divorce in
2013.
It has recently been put on
the market staged in pure Megan style, almost as if she had
just stepped out for a quick trip to the grocery. It is priced
at $1.8 million.
Filled with sunlight bouncing off of white walls and bright
minimalist decor, the 1924 Colonial measures 2,262-square-
feet with four bedrooms, three baths, family room, living
room with fireplace and dining area, all on an open plan.
The eat-in kitchen is also filled with natural light and
white cabinets are covered with marble countertops. The
dining room opens onto a patio for entertaining and there
is a two-car garage with additional parking.
Although
romantics
love to believe that
Markle’s marriage to
Prince Harry was a real-
ife Cinderella story, she
had been starring in Suits
for six years. Fortune
estimates she earned
roughly, $450,000 per
show.
Thanks to her ventures
as an actress and her
succesful clothing line, by
the time Markle became
engaged to Prince Harry,
her estimated wealth was already hovering at $5 million.
Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, with whom she
now has a child and it is rumored that the Sussexes may be
looking for a second home in California - where Megan’s
mother still lives.
