TVs Ty Pennington flips Venice charmer onto the market – Los Angeles Times

Ty Pennington, the Emmy-winning host behind Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is offering up a house of his own. His remodeled spot in Venice just came to market for $2.8 million.

He stands to make a big profit if he gets his price. Records show he bought the property for $1.11 million in 2004.

Pennington, a longtime carpenter who found fame on the home improvement show Trading Spaces, put plenty of work into the house during his 16-year stay. Once a drab shade of tan both inside and out, the two-story home now boasts a bright blue exterior and crisp white interiors.
