Actress/mogul Jessica Alba is renting out her home – well, one of her homes – in Beverly Hills. If you’d like to live like the tycoon behind the Honest Company empire, be prepared to pay $11,000 per month for this pretty sweet 2-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with a serious celebrity pedigree and a sleekly designed interior.
Modest Yet Pricey
At a mere 2,286 square feet, this home isn’t nearly as large as many of the celebrity mansions nearby, but it is located in a very posh, very desirable part of Beverly Hills – and how can you not love the floor-to-ceiling windows that open up the living room?

Purchased in 2002
, Alba purchased the home for $1.1 million back in 2002; it’s worth a lot more now, describing the “faux-quoined, mansard-roofed villa” as being “perched on a precipitous hillside with knee-buckling views that sweep over the city.” Note the gleaming ebony-hued hardwood floors.
Corkscrew Staircase
The home’s living space is spread over four floors, linked by a corkscrew-shaped circular staircase that leads to this denim-coloured entertainment lounge featuring a pool table, 80-inch TV and wet bar.
Windows Abound
Large windows throughout the home allow for natural light to flood into the dark-walled rooms to create a juxtaposition of dark and light.

Phoning it In

Master Bathroom

An additional bedroom does not skimp on space, with a large window offering plenty of light.
Fun and Casual
The design vibe throughout the home is fun and casual, creating a relaxing atmosphere that tosses formality out the window without sacrificing sophistication.
