Inside RHOBH newbie Crystal Kung Minkoff's massive LA mansion featuring game room, pool & lux playgr
THE Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie Crystal Kung Minkoff has shown off her incredible LA mansion with it's luxurious decor.
The 35-year-old actress welcomed fans inside her home, giving a sneak peek at the sprawling backyard, huge pool and playground for her kids.
In a behind-the-scenes video for Bravo, the star, who recently joined the cast of RHOBH, walked viewers through the huge mansion.
Starting at the front door, Crystal, who is married to Disney director Rob Minkoff, shared her excitement at "welcoming" the cameras.
Panning over the huge Los Angeles estate, the 9,000 square foot home features it's own garage building, as well as solar panels for eco-friendly energy.
Noting the size of the home, Crystal explained: "The number eight is really important in Chinese culture, so I said let's try and get a house 8,888sqft and we were close."
Outside there is a large pool, paved with marble stones to separate it from the plush green lawn, and a spacious outdoor BBQ and fire-pit seating area.
The mom-of-two - to son Max, eight, and daughter Zoe, six - said she put a "lot of thought" into how to design the backyard around the kids.
So, as well as the plentiful space for adults, Crystal showed off a custom-built playground including a slide, swing set and climbing tower.
"My husband Rob and I actually built this home ourselves," Crystal told the cameras. "We've been here about four years and it was a total labour of love."
Inside, the living room is focused around two large, cream sofas and a series of Paisley-printed armchairs surrounding a coffee table.
The room, which Crystal described as "the heart of the home", also has a decadent fire place, candle-lit chandeliers and a large grand piano.
Off of the opulent room is a "formal library", painted dark from floor to ceiling and packed with stacked shelves and old loungers.
"I really wanted a place that was cosy, that not only Rob and I but the kids had a space to read and relax," she explained of the space.
Walking into the kitchen, the reality star showed off the huge grey, green and white marble clad room - featuring a massive island for eating on.
Joking the family spend "99 per cent of their time there", the room has a large wine cooler and a "loved and well-used" spice rack.
"I love to cook, I love to entertain and all of my friends come into this room," Crystal continued. "Everyone is always here."
Upstairs, the master bedroom features a black four-poster bed underneath a large candle-lit chandelier and atop of a plush beige carpet.
"It really has a classical Spanish feel, which I love," the star added of the patterned curtains and textile artwork on the walls.
The master bathroom has his-and-hers sinks, a large tub, walk in shower and a marble-topped dressing table for Crystal to do her make-up.
It was announced that Crystal and Rob would join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year after a cast shakeup.
