Behind every front door, there’s a story—and when it comes to Kourtney Kardashian, the walls don’t just talk; they grace the pages of Architectural Digest. Whether you’re keeping up enthusiastically or just peeping through the virtual curtains, Kourtney’s California real estate adventures offer a lesson or two in luxury, family, and making a house (or five) a home.
A Decade in Calabasas—and a Bid for Something New
While Kourtney’s long-loved Calabasas house transforms under the hands of designers, she’s swapped her keys for a short stroll down the block. The reality star currently calls the mansion of husband Travis Barker home, creating a lively hub for their blended family—because, honestly, what’s a Kardashian transition unless it involves serious square footage?
Both Kourtney’s and Travis’s Calabasas homes flex serious interior design credentials: Martin Lawrence Bullard and Waldo Fernandez, both on the AD100 list, are behind the distinctive looks. Suspense is running high for the “remixed” results of Kourtney’s latest renovations, but her journey to this point? Well, that covers more real estate than most people’s dreams.
The Early Years: From Cozy Corners to Expansive Estates
This whirlwind of prime California property kicked off in 2006, when Kourtney snapped up a 2,245-square-foot Mediterranean-inspired hideaway in a gated Calabasas neighborhood for $829,000. This three-bedroom beauty was not only her first major purchase but also the backdrop to those early KUWTK days, shared with sister Khloe. Standout features included:
- Private backyard with a patio and charming fountain
- Refrigerated wine closet (because priorities)
- Glowing fireplace and marble bathroom
But after Mason arrived in 2010, it was time for Poosh’s founder to spread out. She sold up for $700,000—sometimes, family needs trump the market.
The next step? A significant upgrade. Enter a $1.7 million Calabasas home from 2004: more than double the space, four bedrooms, and four and a half baths. Designer Jeff Andrews brought her vision to life with a playful black-and-white scheme that Disick affectionately dubbed « Alice in Wonderland meets Beetlejuice. » Added perks included a soaring library, formal dining with wine storage, a pool, and a loggia.
After four years, with daughter Penelope in tow and another baby on the way, Kourtney waved goodbye to this chapter—selling for nearly $2.98 million (with a bit extra for those brave furnishings).
Super-Sized: From Mega-Mansion to Desert Oasis
What’s next after doubling the house? Doubling down—again! In early 2014, she bought retired NFL star Keyshawn Johnson’s 1.86-acre spread for $7.45 million. The stats are truly Kardashian:
- Nearly 12,000 square feet
- Six bedrooms and nine bathrooms
- Theater, game room, study, and even an elevator
But sophistication was the new watchword. Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who also designed Khloe’s pad, gave the space a stylish and family-friendly transformation with modernist decor. Think Pierre Jeanneret chairs and a Jules Leleu desk—grown-up but never dull.
Not content to let palm trees pass her by, Kourtney branched out in 2021 with a $12 million retreat in La Quinta. Here’s what makes her desert escape special:
- Courtyard with a fire pit, infinity pool, and outdoor kitchen
- Guesthouse and a roughly 9,500-square-foot main house
- Six bedrooms, seven and a half baths, a chef’s kitchen, and wine room—all with mountain views
Kourtney still calls this her vacation base, joining a handful of Kardashians who have made the Santa Rosa Mountains their getaway scene.
Blended Living: By the Beach and Back to Calabasas
Love led to new keys in 2022. Post-wedding, Kourtney and Travis snagged their first joint home: a midcentury Carpinteria beach house, purchased from Conan O’Brien for a breezy $14.5 million. Imagine:
- Four bedrooms, three and a half baths across 2,000 square feet
- Floor-to-ceiling glass with 50 feet of ocean frontage
- Guesthouse and balconies for soaking up the sea air
At first, though, blending families didn’t mean blending addresses—she and Barker continued living in their respective Calabasas houses, thoughtfully easing their kids into new routines and rooms.
But as of 2024, with baby Rocky Thirteen joining the brood, Kourtney has officially moved into Barker’s Waldo Fernandez-designed estate. On The Kardashians, she shared her plan: “We’re going to move into his house, which is a block away, and then redo my house at the same time so that we can all be together, living together under one roof with the baby.”
Barker himself is fine-tuning things for this full house, converting his home studio into a bunk room and opting for serene, calming interiors. No more flashy murals or bikes casually dangling—and more room to make new memories.
So What’s Next?
The anticipation for the grand reveal of Kourtney’s renovated home is real. Until then, her journey proves you can build more than equity in property; you can build a family’s story, one stylish room at a time. If you’re house shopping in Calabasas, maybe double-check the neighbors—they might just invite Architectural Digest along for the tour.
