Today’s perfect fusion of East and West Coast comes courtesy of Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines and her new hubby, uber-environmentalist and possible Dancing with the Stars hoofer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We’ve learned exclusively that the couple has just put their recently purchased New England–style Malibu, CA, pad up for rent.
The price? A casual $50,000 per month.
Built in 1957, the 2,959-square-foot home was purchased by the Hines-Kennedy clan back in September for $4.99 million. Featuring six bedrooms and four baths, the farmhouse-style spread has an expansive yard, large heated pool with a fire pit, and a two-story treehouse. (Robert must really take that tree-hugger mentality seriously, huh?)
There’s also a separate pool house with its own full kitchen, den, and loft, which is a prime spot for your summer guests to put up their feet. A golf cart is available if you feel like cruising around the property, as well as a variety of surfboards when you’re ready to catch some waves.
But best of all, the home features private access to Little Dume, one of the most exclusive beaches in the ’Bu.
The palatial pad looks like it could be plucked out of a ritzy Boston suburb and dropped right in the middle of the Los Angeles scene’s most exclusive beach community. It all makes sense — Robert is a Kennedy. The couple even married back in Hyannis Port at the Kennedy compound back in August, and it sounds like they may have a full house. In addition to Cheryl’s daughter from a previous marriage, Robert has six children of his own from two previous marriages.
Oh, and Cheryl, who spoke out in support of writers at this year’s Writers’ Guild of America awards, is not the only Hollywood heavy hitter who’s macking on a Kennedy these days. Wild child Miley Cyrus is currently dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of Ah-nold and Maria Shriver (a tried-and-true Kennedy). Quite the family tree.
Cheryl previously put her Bel Air, CA, home on the market, where it was nabbed for $3.10 million. She bought the home for $2.35 million in August 2010 and sold it for $755,000 more just four years later — which makes us think this actress has some serious real estate savvy.
After all, the couple’s Malibu home isn’t your everyday summer rental filled with mosquitoes and rickety lawn chains next to a dirty lake.
But of course, this leads us to wonder, where will Cheryl and RFK Jr. be spending the summer if they’re not lounging beachside at this sprawling getaway?
