External shot of property pictured. CALIFORNIA, USA: THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND three bedroom home formerly owned by HGTV designer Jenna Pilant, is now on sale for just over ?980K. Located in the heart of Pauma Valley, California, USA, this awe-inspiring home offers three bedroom suites, and has extraordinary custom-made rainbow interiors. Originally built in 1991 the brightly renovated 4,179-square-foot dwelling was remodelled room by room by HGTV designer Jenna Pilant, who has the philosophy ?ban the beige?. The property features in the HGTV series ?Thrift Flip? and her YouTube series where she provided tips on how to make the furniture in her home. Jenna Pilant and her husband purchased the home in 2016 for approximately just over ?550K. The true beauty of the property is its kaleidoscope of bold details, such as the conversation pits, blue tiles and red shag carpeting. The kitchen is filled with light from dramatic tall windows and skylights. It has a central blue island, stainless-steel appliances. Highlights of the house include a conversation pit, wet bar, a kidney-shaped pool and a 500-square-foot basement, which is a completely white blank canvas for the next owners to make their mark. The primary suite is also a dazzling piece of art with its grape-coloured carpeting, custom bed frame, a supersized walk-in closet and its private entrance to the backyard. There?s also a new HVAC system, a new roof, and a new solar energy system for those who want a home that is both energy efficient and environmentally conscious. Listing agent Tyler Dabovich, of GG Homes said that much of the home?s furniture, wall coverings, art, and accessories were custom-made by Pilant. ?Much of the furniture is custom-made for the house, she is open to parting ways with it?, said Tyler. ?I personally love the sunken conversation pit and dining room area. ?The open concept, vaulted ceilings, and natural skylights combined with the eye-popping atrium and living wall make for a huge ?wow? moment. ?Pilant will also offer her design/consulting services if someone needs advice on how to further decorate or design.? The property is also in a prime location, since it is just minutes from Harrah?s Resort and a quick drive to the wineries in Temecula. ?It is located in the prestigious Pauma Valley Country Club and minutes from the renowned Harrah's Resort & Casino". said the listing. mediadrumimages / @GGHomes
