After under two years of ownership, Halsey is letting go of her historic Los Feliz estate for $5.5 million. The singer-songwriter, who announced her engagement to actor Avan Jogia in September, paid about $5 million for the elegantly restored Spanish Colonial Revival home in 2023. The pad has certified Historic-Cultural Monument status. It was built by architect Arthur W. Larson in 1928 for restaurateur Cilfford Clinton, the founder and namesake of the delightfully kitschy Cliftons Cafeteria near Downtown Los Angeles.Situated on a 0.34-acre plot just across the street from Griffith Park, the 5,900-square-foot abode boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a laundry list of rich period details, including stained glass windows, coffered ceilings, ornamental plaster, decorative wrought iron, and wood-burning fireplaces. A dark wooden front door with an intricately carved floral motif welcomes guests into the charming dwelling, where arched doorways, colorful Spanish tiles, and antique light fixtures abound.A living area in the home.Photo: Tyler HoganOriginal robins egg blue tiles line the walls of the kitchen, which is outfitted with a navy La Cornue range, a refurbished original built-in Frigidaire refrigerator, and a butlers pantry.
