The 19-year-old reality television star recently parted with a home in Calabasas for $US3.15 million ($3.97 million) and now has one of her three homes in Hidden Hills on the market.

The house Jenner just sold was originally built in 2006 but was extensively updated during her two years of ownership.

Ebony-stained floors, designer tile work and crystal hardware are among the new-look details. One of the six bedrooms was refashioned as a “glam room.” Separate walk-in and accessory closets highlight the redone master suite.

The two-story Mediterranean in Calabasas features contemporary interiors with textured tile accents, modern fixtures and gothic wallpaper.

In nearby Hidden Hills, a ranch-style house that Jenner bought last year for $US4.5 million is now for sale at a $US900,000 markup – $US5.4 million.

Sitting on more than 3 acres, the 2012-built home has 478 square metres of living space. Wide-plank flooring, wainscoting and light hues give the single-story floor plan an East Coast vibe.

Other features include a center-island kitchen, a theater room and a great room with wet bar. There are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

Jenner is largely known for her family’s reality series, which follows the lives of her siblings, in-laws and parents. Last year she launched the makeup line Kylie Cosmetics.
