Collins’s West Hollywood condo had been in her family since the early 1990s before the actor said goodbye to the one-bedroom, two-bathroom unit when she found a buyer in December 2018. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Les Misérables star personally owned the 1,672-square-foot condo for about a decade before she started renting out the space for around $13,000 a month.
She first listed the unit, located in the celebrity-filled Sierra Towers complex, in October 2018 for $3.195 million before dropping the price to $2.995 million. Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles real estate agent Josh Flagg held the listing for the unit, which featured an open-plan living space complete with charcoal slate-tile floors. Its floor-to-ceiling windows not only provided plenty of natural light, but a picturesque view of Sunset Boulevard could be seen from the 10th floor of the 31-story high-rise building. An entire wall of floor-to-ceiling sliders in the unit’s single bedroom opened up to a private balcony, which also offered a stunning look over the city. The galley-style kitchen, which had speckled granite countertops and dark wood cabinets, was separated from the rest of the home by a partial wall, and the bathroom came with both a deep soaking tub and glass-lined shower.
Hollywood Regency Beverly Hills mansion
Shortly after Collins announced her engagement to film director and screenwriter Charlie McDowell in September 2020, the Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile star sold her home in Beverly Hills in February 2021 for $13.5 million. She had purchased it for $12.5 million in 2016.
Located north of Sunset Boulevard, the Hollywood Regency mansion featured four bedrooms and five bathrooms across the 5,066-square-foot property. The 0.7-acre estate, guarded by a privacy wall and iron gates, also included an expansive brick driveway with a patio deck and a pool out back as well as a hot tub, a cabana, and a sunken tennis court with seating for six. Built in 1954 by architect John Elgin Woolf, the single-level home featured high ceilings, tall windows, and skylights, with amenities including a library, a bar, a formal dining room, a breakfast room, and fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom. Collins lived in the home during quarantine with McDowell before purchasing their dream home in Pasadena, California.
Pasadena Case Study house purchased from Kristen Wiig
The Emmy Award nominee made one of her most notable purchases when she obtained a historic home in Pasadena in 2021 for $3.9 million from Kristen Wiig. The Saturday Night Live alum paid $2.96 million in 2017 for the estate, which was part of the Case Study House program, launched in 1945 by Arts + Architecture magazine, that commissioned top architects of the time to design and construct inexpensive model homes for the housing boom at the end of World War II.
