Katy Perry, Russell Brand put Los Feliz home on the market

Pop singer Katy Perry and her husband, comedian and actor Russell Brand, are listing their Los Feliz home at $3,395,000.

The gated property includes a stately 1922 Mediterranean-style main house and a swimming pool. The 4,600-square-foot home, with a classic exterior that belies its white contemporary interiors, has four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms.

Adding a touch of whimsy is Perry’s vintage pink refrigerator, which she brought from a previous residence. It is not included in the sale.

The pair added more trees and landscaping during the year and a half that they owned the house to increase privacy. A 25-foot-tall teepee that Brand bought for Perry stands in the yard.

Perry converted the three-car garage into a wardrobe styling room. “It’s 60 feet of costumes,” said Ernie Carswell of Teles Properties, Beverly Hills, who has the listing.

Perry, 26, started out as a gospel singer before releasing studio albums including “One of the Boys” (2008) and “Teenage Dream” (2010). Brand, 35, starred in the remake of “Arthur,” released in April, as well as “Get Him to the Greek” (2010) and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (2008).

Given Brand’s time on movie sets and Perry’s world tour, they have decided to make the New York pied a terre they bought last year their central residence and forego maintaining the compound in Los Angeles.

Public records show the couple bought the Los Feliz house in 2009 for $3.25 million.
