Star of ‘The OC’ sells Beverly Hills after 6 years
Mischa Barton has finally sold her Beverly Hills mansion, 6 years after she listed it. The star of ‘The OC’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars’ reportedly struggled to keep up mortgage payments on the 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom home which she bought in 2005 for $6.05 million.
The LA Times says the home was originally listed in 2010 for $8.7 million but has sold for a lot less at $7.05 million. Public records show the outstanding mortgage principal sum at $4.3 million.
