Luxe Living

British TV personality and documentary filmaker Louis Theroux has just bought himself a storybook Colonial home across the pond – in Los Angeles to be exact. Theroux beams into living rooms across the globe in the television series Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, his BBC2 Specials and When Louis Met….

You may also recognize his famous last name. He’s the son of American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux and brother of British novelist and broadcaster Marcel Theroux. He’s also cousin to Justin Theroux, who is engaged to America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston.

According to public records, Theroux paid $1.225M for a beautifully maintained Colonial on tree-line street just a stone’s throw to Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. Traditional on the exterior, the home features so many original details throughout; hardwood floors, untouched crown moldings, built-in cabinets in the formal dining, breakfast room, and den. French doors lead from the living room to den and breakfast room and  spacious kitchen. The home has an excellent flow leading to a large pool-size yard.

A wide grand staircase leads to spacious landing and four large size bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. The gated property also features a 2 car garage!

Jen Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux lit the gossip world on fire back in August when they jetted off to Hawaii after just a few short months of dating to celebrate his 40th birthday. While on the island, they were photographed doing all kinds vacation-like activities, including wearing Hawaiian leis upon their arrival, taking leisurely strolls for coffee, shopping, cuddling and more. On their romantic holiday, the duo shacked up in the “Villa at Secret Beach,” a sprawling estate on an ocean bluff of exclusive Kauapea Road.

We’ve seen stunning aerial photos of the estate across the web, but now we’re taking you inside the estate to get a glimpse at what it’s like to vacation like Jennifer Aniston. At a rumored $7,000-a-night price tag, what did the in-love duo experience on their holiday? A sure answer is absolute luxury.

The home is described as a peaceful, private sanctuary: modern luxury woven into a uniquely Hawaiian landscape. The three bedroom, four bath, 3,104 square foot home is located on just over four acres, with unobstructed, panoramic views of the verdant north shore, including Kauai’s signature Mount Makana (“Bali Hai”) and the dazzling coastline. The living room and bedrooms open up to allow the fresh island air to flow throughout. The home also features a pool and hot tub.

According to the in-the-know folks at Celebrity Address Aerials, the property was built in 1996 and sold at auction in November 2010 to an unknown buyer for $4.2 million.
