Actress Ashley Benson, best known for her role on the TV series “Pretty Little Liars,” is prepping to part ways with her historic Los Angeles home.

The gorgeous, 4,825-square-foot house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Situated in the city’s gated Laughlin Park community, the property was listed in mid-July for $9,499,000 and recently moved into contingent sale status.

Benson picked up the posh abode in 2020 for $4.5 million and remodeled the place. Still, she is in step to profit handsomely from the investment if she gets any amount in the vicinity of her asking price.

View from the top

The vintage abode was built in 1930 by renowned architect Arthur Rowland Kelly, whose portfolio includes the Playboy Mansion and Hollywood’s first luxury hotel, The Christie Hotel.

This swanky Old Hollywood Spanish Revival estate sits on a cul-de-sac with 360-degree views of downtown Los Angeles and Griffith Park. Many of the home’s historical details were preserved in its renovation.

Living large

The dreamy house has a spacious living room with beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Large windows welcome in plenty of natural light, and a fireplace dials ups the cozy quotient. Built-in cabinets and shelves give the space extra polish.

Details, details, details

The home’s farmhouse kitchen has teal cabinets, a marble center island, and top-notch appliances. The glossy, black-and-gold stove and deep, porcelain sink are especially eye-catching.

Tall, arched windows; dark-hardwood floors; and a chandelier make the dining room an impressive spot for hosting guests.

Glitz and glamour

The home’s five bedrooms abound with built-in shelves and cabinets and private balconies, and one offers a fireplace and an enormous walk-in closet.

The bathrooms are equally inviting—particularly the primary bath, with its chic glass doors and copper soaking tub.

The others include memorable details, such as gold hardware; glossy, black tile; floral wallpaper; and marble vanities. One guest bathroom boasts a vintage look, complete with a pedestal sink and seafoam-green walls.

Sit back, relax

Outside, a garden oasis with a resortlike pool and spa awaits.

That’s not all

The home’s upscale amenities include a movie theater, beauty salon, and a speakeasy lounge bar. There’s also a three-car garage.

And the home’s monthly HOA fee of just $50 is quite the bargain.

Benson, 33, starred in “Pretty Little Liars” from 2010 to 2017. She also appeared in the TV movie “Fab Five” and on the big screen in “Spring Breakers” and “Mob Land.”
