Actor-entrepreneur Edison Chen snaps up a newly built home in Larchmont

Edison Chen, the Hong Kong film star and fashion entrepreneur, has bought a sleek new home in the Larchmont area of Los Angeles for $2.85 million.

The master suite — one of five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms — centers on a lavish bath set within walls of tempered glass. A private terrace with built-in setting sits off the master bedroom.

The house came to market late last year for about $3 million and was more recently listed for about $2.9 million, records show.
