As a Hollywood A-lister, Eva Longoria and Jose Bastón are on the move, hoisting their nicely secluded and colorfully appointed Beverly Hills estate on the market with an asking price of $22.888 million, the price that only Hollywood royalty can afford.
As an actress, producer, serial entrepreneur and the wife of a veteran media executive, the actress, producer and serial entrepreneur will be looking to almost double the amount they spent on the almost 1.5-acre spread that they bought nearly five years ago for $13.5 million when they were married in Mexico in 2016.
Despite being newly remodeled, the two-story structure was bland as day-old dry toast at the time the couple bought it, with truckloads of generic staged furnishings. According to Longoria, Bastón is an avid art collector and a “frustrated architect-turned-interior designer” who favors a clean, contemporary style that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or functionality.
It is true that the home, beyond the lacquered cherry-red front doors, is a treasure trove of warmth, organic textures, and lux finishes, as well as a trove of modern artworks crammed throughout.
The house also features a wine room with climate control, a Taschen library, a sophisticated home office, and a media room with rich crimson velvet theater drapes and a nubby gray bouclé sectional sofa.
Although Longoria is known for playing Gabrielle Solis on “Desperate Housewives,” she is neither a desperate nor a traditional housewife, but she enjoys cooking for her family and friends.
She loves the kitchen the most in the house, according to Rich Report. Besides plenty of counter space and a sunny breakfast area that opens to the backyard, this avid cook recently launched a cookware line and a tequila brand.
An azure mosaic tiled pool and spa, poolside cabana with telescopic glass walls, a large deck with panoramic views of the cross-canyon mountains, an L-shaped glass pavilion, a professional-grade gym, and lots of evergreen artificial turf are just some of the amenities in the backyard that feel like you’re at a resort. It features lighted tennis courts, a paddle ball court, a tented cabana with a beverage station and several children’s play structures below and out of sight of the house.
Compass is representing Eddie Fallah and Danny Brown in the sale of this property.
Before she and Bastón hooked up, Longoria paid $11.4 million for a Hollywood Hills compound owned by Tom Cruise. After 2.5 years on the market, the property was finally sold in 2020 at a two-plus-million-dollar loss
It was about 15 years ago that Longoria picked up a home that she still owns in the foothills above Zuma Beach in Malibu; she and Bastón also own a home in Mexico City.
