Kat Von D has listed her massive Victorian LA mansion on the market, and she’s asking for $15 million.

The famous tattoo artist, 39, is getting rid of the California estate that previously served as the set of the 2003 movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” long before she acquired it, TMZ reported.

Kat shelled out $6.5 million when she purchased the mansion back in 2016. She spent a lot on renovations and also incorporated her character into the house, but she’s now ready to say goodbye to it.

The huge asking price could be her way of regaining the money she used on the place since insiders told the outlet that she completely restored the Victorian home after buying it.

In the film that starred Steve Martin, Hilary Duff and many others, the place looked really warm and familial. But after the restoration work, it has become a chic horror movie set with Kat’s personal touch.

The 12,000-square-foot property has a 3-story structure with 13 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. It has a library, a hidden bar with hand-carved walls and 7 fireplaces. It also features lush landscaping, a blood-red outdoor pool and a lot of intricate brickwork and statues, according to the New York Post.

Built in 1986, the property comes with a 2-bed, 1-bath carriage house over the garage. It also houses spooky decor that lives up to its horror house theme.

Interested buyers will surely adore the top floor of the mansion that doubles as a theater with a stage. It has a bar, a kitchenette and a “dramatic turret side room,” as indicated in the listing.

Von D’s decision to sell the house does not come as a surprise. Back in October, the “LA Ink” star announced that she was leaving California for good as she’s eager to start anew in Indiana.

Meanwhile, news broke over the weekend that one of Kat’s former employees has decided to sue her for wrongful termination after the latter voiced concerns about COVID-19 at work.

Stephanie Davidson worked as a manager of Kat’s High Voltage Tattoo studio in California from 2017 to 2020. She was fired around June 2020 when the studio reopened at some capacity during the mandated lockdown, as per Insider.

Davidson alleged in her lawsuit that she was let go after inquiring about the “safety protocols at the shop” because Von D was against the use of masks.
