Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa closed her ‘biggest deal to date’ on October 11 for the wealthy couple after seven months of searching properties and four-and-a-half months of negotiations.
The newly-renovated Cavalli Penthouse features two large bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, an ocean view, massive walk-in custom closets, a private sauna, private terraces, and an office/library.
All units in The Century come with a concierge, gated security, a pool and jacuzzi with private cabanas, fitness studio, movie theater, business center, and valet parking.

‘I mean, Garcelle [Beauvais] and I have been friends for a long time, [Lisa] Rinna and I have known each other,’ the Bravo-lebrity told ET at BravoCon.
‘I do enjoy diamonds – let’s be clear – we’ll see where the wind takes us.’
Meanwhile, Terry is currently filming the eighth season of E! reality series Botched with fellow plastic surgeon Paul Nassif.

Heather in November of 2018 took fans on a video tour of Château Dubrow in a series of episodes on her YouTube channel, in one episode showing viewers Terry’s office and man cave.
His warm, masculine office is filled with luxurious leather pieces, as well as a hidden bar and bathroom — but Heather said that he never actually uses any of it.
The first room, his office, is ‘the yin to my yang,’ according to Heather, since it’s nearly exactly like her own office except manlier.
‘They’re actually matching office exactly. They have the same cabinets, the same type of wood — his is just obviously stained darker, it’s more masculine,’ she said. ‘I just tried to make his a little more luxurious for a man. So no shag rug for Terry, I did a more tailored looking rug with a leather edge to it. ‘
Though the the fabrics and tones are different, the shape and format are the same, and individual pieces echo between the two rooms.
There is lots of leather furniture, and metallics. He has a fireplace to match Heather’s, as well as a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Terry had a hidden door in the wall behind his desk — and it leads to two sets of room.
Workin’! Heather in November of 2018 took fans on a video tour of Château Dubrow in a series of episodes on her YouTube channel, in one episode showing viewers Terry’s office and man cave
Unused: Heather said that Terry, a doctor, never actually uses his home office
On fire! Terry also has an identical fireplace in his office with the same head-conducting balls
Sneaky! She also showed off the hidden doors that lead to secret rooms
First, there is a bar alcove, which has marbled countertops, a hammered silver sink, and luxe-looking glassware, as well as a fridge and freezer tucked away.
But beyond the bar room is yet another room: Terry’s bathroom.
Whereas the bathroom off Heather’s office just has a sink and toilet, though, Terry’s has a shower as well, ‘just in case Terry came home from the gym and wanted to take a shower downstairs.’
Yet despite all the thought and hard work that went into the set of rooms, Heather admits that her husband doesn’t actually use his office, ever, because he is a doctor and doesn’t need it.
What he does use is his man cave. This room also has a masculine vibe, with a leather sectional, a dark shag carpet, metallic table ornaments and horns, and brown curtains.
‘This really is a very comfortable sofa,’ Heather said. ‘So here’s the thing with Terry. Terry wanted to sit on everything before we bought it, and I had to explain to him that most furniture stores don’t have all the furniture in them anymore… but when it came to sofas he was very particular. So we went to Restoration Hardware.’
Also, the down-to-earth millionaire said, she actually likes to mix up her home with both custom pieces and ones you can ‘just walk into a store and buy.’
Rockin’ it! More agate is on the walls in his secret bathroom, which is done in tans and browns
Wash off: The bathroom include a large shower in case Terry wants to stop in there after the gym
Where he hangs: Though Terry never works in the office, he does use his special man cave
The room also has a huge television and large speakers, which Terry calls ‘the best sound in the world’.
On a nearby wall is a large nature photo by Roman Johnston, which Heather said the photographer’s wife sent her.
Finally, she points to the ‘incredible’ ceiling, which is very high like all other ceilings in her house. It’s made up of metal squares, and hanging from it is a manly light fixture.
In addition to spending the episode taking a tour of Terry’s rooms, Heather also took a moment to talk about one of her own decorative loves: coasters.
‘I’m obsessed with coasters. I mean, really, really, really obsessed with coasters. I love them. They’re in every single room of this house except the bathrooms,’ she said.
The camera shows nearly a dozen different types of coasters, set in stacked in different rooms of the house. Many of them are crystal or agate, and they all look like they cost a pretty penny.
What’s funny, though, is that there is actually no need for coasters in her house — all of the surfaces are ‘user-friendly,’ so a perspiring glass wouldn’t leave a ring. Still, she loves the decorative element and picks different ones for every room.
Just in here! Heather said she only lets Terry have these speakers in this room because she doesn’t like how they look
Art fans: She also loves this piece of photography, which the photographer’s wife sent her and she had blown up
Look up! She was also quite proud of the way the ceiling was finished
Try it first! Heather said most of their furniture was custom-made but Terry insisted on sitting on this couch before buying it
In another episode of her YouTube series, Heather gave viewers a look at her own office, which is much girlier than her husband’s As she walked into the office at the front of her house, Heather explained that she loves sparkle — which is immediately apparent in the rooms.
On either side of the tall double doors to come in are high shelves, which are lit up to show off the vases, books, and frames on display. She pointed out the ‘library latter’ she can use to reach high-up things, as well as the balance of symmetry and asymmetry in the design.
Just like in her husband’s office, the picture frames in her office don’t actually have photos in them. She admitted that it’s a problem of hers, because she never thinks to print out the photos on her phone.
On the floor is a large shag carpet, on top of which sits her desk, which is pristine and clutter-free.
There’s also a sitting area with two chairs that have been decorated with throws and pillows, as well as a glass Kelly Wearstler Dichotomy Table, which sells for $19,500 to $24,995.
‘I am a huge Kelly Wearstler fan and she’s an incredibly brilliant designer,’ she said. The table is topped with a giant sparkly crystal.
Nearby is a glamorous fireplace like the one in her husband’s office, which uses not wood but fire-conducting ‘big black balls,’ which Heather gets a kick out of.
In the video, Heather gestured to the large window, which is draped with a subtly-sequined set of drapes.
‘At first I decided, this window is so beautiful, and it overlooks my motor court and I can see my fountains — I’m just gonna leave it clean, I’m not gonna put anything,’ she said.
‘And then I realized any time a package is delivered or someone comes in the house, they walk right by my office. So I’m sitting here with zit medicine on and my hair up in a ponytail paying bills, and everyone’s walking by waving.’
Shine bright! Heather’s office is done up in a mix of neutral tones, with hints of glitz and sparkle all over
Delegating: Heather admitted that, while she designed the whole house, she doesn’t have time for all the details of decor, so she hired help to present her with options
Check it out: She showed off some of the storage and what she keeps on the shelves — including picture frames with no photos in them
Grand entrance: When she enters her office, she walks in through two large doors with lit shelves on either side
Sleek and hot: The room has a working fireplace that uses burning black balls instead of firewood
Expensive! There’s also a sitting area with two chairs that have been decorated with throws and pillows, as well as a glass Kelly Wearstler Dichotomy Table, which sells for $19,500 to $24,995
Last, Heather walked over behind her desk to reveal a secret: The walls on that side of the room aren’t walls at all, but doors for hidden cabinets.
‘One of the most fun features of this out is all the hidden doors and spaces and areas,’ she said.
Behind one door is a minibar, with a dink and several bottles of champagne. Behind another is a printer, trays for paperwork, and a fridge containing more champagne.
‘I swear there’s champagne in every corner of this house,’ she said.
Another door hides not a cabinet but a secret bathroom which is one of Heather’s favorites. It’s decorated with sparkly wallpaper and mosaic tiles, and their are framed crystals on the wall.
Heather and Terry have both explained that Heather did nearly all the work designing their home, working with a contractor and picking out every detail.
But while she certainly had a clear vision some of the details on the decor side are too much for her — so she enlisted Jessica Calvert of Anchorage Place Designs.
‘When it comes to furniture, fabrics, accessories, I don’t have the time or the inclination to do any of that,’ she said. ‘I have opinions on ’em, but I don’t really have that kind of time. And also spatially, you really need someone with a very good understanding of size, space, and the entire thing.’
