A Newport Beach home linked to Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Kelly Dodd and her husband, ex-Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal, has hit the market for $4.285 million.
Spanning 3,597 square feet, the house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and backs up to a palm tree-lined yard with a pool and spa.
According to the listing, improvements have been made to the home concealed in the heart of the inner loop within the highly-coveted “Port Streets” neighborhood on a large lot.
The all-white interior has distressed mahogany floors. There’s a built-in banquet in the gourmet kitchen, which flows into the great room.
A fireplace anchors the living room under a half-vaulted ceiling. In the dining area, an orange statement chandelier has been viewed on Rick and Kelly’s Daily Smash YouTube videos as recently as February.
