This Just In: Mena Suvari Is the Merchant of Venice

CasaSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:30:35 -0700

Mena Suvari is selling her 2,442-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath in Venice, California for $1,795,000, according to Real Estalker. The beautiful craftsman property went into contract a mere 45 days after it was first listed — record time! Suvari purchased the property in June 2005, shortly after her marriage with cinematographer Robert Brinkmann went south. The listing for the property reads:

Spacious separate master suite on top floor with huge walk in closet. Elegant gourmet cook's kitchen with black granite center island and breakfast bar leading to a stylish formal dining room. French doors open to a landscaped large back yard – Great for entertaining, to a studio, guest house, surround sound through out, security system, and more.

I think it's a charmer, and great for a single girl — an American beauty, you might say. The Fauna Balsa Leopard Wall Hanging also plays well with her Amenity bedding, don't you think?
