E.L. James Lists Los Angeles Home for $7.25 Million
‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ author E. L. James has put her Los Angeles home on the market for $7.25 million, marking a slight decrease from its original $8.25 million asking price.
The bestselling author purchased the modern home in 2016 for $7.3 million and has been its only owner since it was completed that same year.
Designed as a modern contemporary residence, the home is positioned to capture sweeping views across Los Angeles, stretching from Downtown to the Pacific Ocean.

Inside James’ LA Home
When you first step inside James’s LA home, floor-to-ceiling windows and an open floor plan welcome you in with natural light flooding nearly any room you step into.
As seen in the posts from Myra Nourmand and Nourmand & Associates, these features are meant to reinforce the property’s design, which focuses on using scale and openness to highlight its hillside views.
The main living room moves into a high-tech chef’s kitchen featuring lacquered wood cabinetry, Miele appliances, and a large island with bar seating.
A dedicated media and lounge area adds an entertaining component to the property, complete with surround sound, a fireplace, a wet bar, and a walk-in, temperature-controlled wine room.
Spread out across the 5,616 square feet are five en-suite bedrooms. The highlight is, of course, the primary suite, which is positioned as a private retreat featuring a terrace with some of the best views in the house.
Outside, a dramatic pool appears to float above the city, paired with an outdoor grill and multiple dining areas designed to take full advantage of the elevated setting.
Video Tour
Another video shared by Myra Nourmand gives an even clearer sense of how the home flows, capturing the Los Angeles views in motion.
With the soft sound of trees outside and moments like soaking in the tub as the skyline reflects off the water, the setting feels extra special.
Warm tones throughout the interiors work with the natural light, amplifying the glow of the space and making the views feel even more striking.
Final Thoughts on This Listing
As a British author who primarily lives in the U.K., E. L. James has other homes in West London and along the coast of Cornwall.
Therefore, maintaining a full-time base in Los Angeles may no longer make sense, making it more appealing for James to pass the home on to someone who will spend more time enjoying it.
For that next owner, the sweeping views, modern layout designed for both comfort and entertaining, and privacy make it a truly great opportunity for someone more LA-based.
