“American Horror Story” Star Still Turned a Profit Despite
Actress Sarah Paulson has sold her renovated trailer home in Malibu’s exclusive Paradise Cove Mobile Home Park, closing the deal for $1.45 million—significantly below her original $2 million asking price.
The sale, finalized on April 16 according to property records, comes nearly a year after the “American Horror Story” star first listed the property for sale. Despite the price cuts, Paulson, 50, still managed to turn a substantial profit. She purchased the double-wide trailer for $860,000 in March 2021 and later carried out an extensive renovation with the help of designer Nickey Kehoe.
Realtor.com was the first to report on the sale.
The trailer was described in the listing in glowing terms, “The kitchen is beautifully anchored by milky-stone countertops shot through with emerald veining that evokes the crashing waves just moments away. The wide-plank engineered pine floors and brass fixtures suggest an understated nautical inspiration – intimate and welcoming.”
The stylish mobile home, marketed as a “jewel box,” boasts high-end finishes that are uncommon in traditional trailer living. Notable design touches include seafoam and emerald-veined marble countertops in the kitchen, brass fixtures throughout, and blush-pink tiles covering the bathroom from floor to ceiling. Transom windows flood the interior with natural light, while a lofted area provides additional sleeping space. The property also includes a private backyard and a golf cart, which was bundled into the sale.
Paulson initially listed the home in May 2024 for $2 million but dropped the price multiple times, settling at $1.57 million before finalizing the sale. She briefly pulled the listing earlier this year after the Palisades Fire severely impacted parts of Malibu, including neighboring mobile home communities like Tahitian Terrace, where real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran lost her $1 million trailer.
Paradise Cove, where Paulson’s former home is located, has long been known for its celebrity residents, including Stevie Nicks and Matthew McConaughey. Despite selling for less than hoped, Paulson’s investment yielded a considerable return in just three years.
