Kat Von D Drops $6.5M On 'Cheaper By The Dozen' Mansion In Los Angeles

Who knew Kat Von D and Steve Martin had something in common?

The tattoo aficionado turned beauty tycoon recently dropped $6.5 million on a historic Victorian home in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood. The property actually was the home in the hit 2003 flick "Cheaper By The Dozen," based on the popular children’s book about a family with more kids than they know what to do with.

According to Trulia, the home was designed by Isaac Newton Van Nuys and built in 1890 before it was moved to its current location, a 27,000-square-foot lot in Windsor Square in 1915.

The 12,500-square-foot home boasts 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The main floor offers a grand entry, sitting room, a library and dining room with linen-fold paneling and stained-glass windows. There is also a hidden bar room that has hand-carved walls and a secret exterior door, a cozy den that overlooks the swimming pool, a formal living room called the “French ballroom” and a large eat-in kitchen with butler’s pantry.

The third floor boasts more bedrooms, a stage with original footlights and even a kitchenette. There is even additional space for guests available in the two-bed, one-bath carriage house over the garage.

Before purchasing this Hancock Park treasure, the "LA Ink" star owned a Gothic mansion in the lower Hollywood Hills since 2011, which she bought for $2.175 million.

The listing agent was Lisa Hutchins of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
