Snowboarder Shaun White’s Former L.A. Home Hits the Market for $5 Million—2 Years After Being Bought by Louis Vuitton Exec

Olympic snowboarder Shaun White's former midcentury modern Los Angeles dwelling has hit the market for $5 million—two years after the sporting superstar sold the property to a Louis Vuitton executive.

The 39-year-old Winter Olympian—who split from his fiancée, Nina Debrov, 37, in September—sold the lavish abode in 2024 for $3.9 million to Michael Silvaggi, who served as the senior vice president of HR at Louis Vuitton until 2016.

White resided in the home for six years, throughout much of his relationship with "The Vampire Diaries" star Dobrev, having bought the property for $3.7 million in 2018, two years before the pair revealed the news of their relationship to the world.

He sold the home just two months before popping the question to the actress in a romantic New York City proposal—although the duo called off their engagement less than a year later.

Meanwhile, Silvaggi is understood to have spent ample time overhauling the interior of the 1955 midcentury modern abode, which is listed with Chase Rodgers, of The Beverly Hills Estates.

Many of the hallmarks of its original design remain inside the property, including the walls of windows that frame the Los Angeles views, as well as the wooden ceilings, and open-plan living spaces.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling spreads across a total of 2,000 square feet and also boasts a two-car garage.

Its listing description calls attention to the meticulous work carried out by Silvaggi, who appears to have spared no expense in his restoration of the property.

"Poised within a sanctuary of architectural beauty and raw natural landscape, this midcentury masterpiece has been reborn—an expression of quiet power, precision, and timeless seduction. Every line refined. Every material intentional," it states.

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted with floor-to-ceiling glass that frame the city's skyline and allow natural light to flood inside.

In stark contrast to its wooden ceilings, the home features black tile flooring.

"Inside, custom furnishings are handcrafted for each room, draped in fabrics from Dedar, Schumacher, Perennials, and Pierre Frey. Vintage lighting and curated accessories punctuate the modern calm with soul and sophistication," the listing adds.

The chic living area spills into the chef's kitchen, which boasts a black marble island, state-of-the-art appliances and wooden cabinetry.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a charming dining area, which comes complete with enough room for a large table and an elegant chandelier.

"A custom dining banquette captures 360-degree views; a setting that feels cinematic at sunset," the listing notes.

The primary bedroom features the same sophisticated wooden ceilings as well as large glass sliding doors that allow effortless access to the backyard.

It also comes complete with a walk-in closet and a primary bathroom, adorned with two vanities and a large shower.

"The exterior, once cinderblock, is now fully wrapped in brick--an elegant armor that speaks to permanence and design discipline. Outdoors, flagstone terraces unfold into a private, landscaped retreat Two car garage with Tesla charger," as per the listing.

The home, which is surrounded in lush greenery, features a resort-style pool, lounging area, and fire pit.

White and "The Vampire Diaries" actress began dating in 2019 and quickly became one of Hollywood's most loved couples, regularly jetting off on trips around the world together, while sharing images of themselves engaging in all manner of action-packed adventures.

Then, in October 2024, White took their romance to the next level when he popped the question to Dobrev with a stunning 5-carat diamond that she proudly flaunted on her social media accounts while announcing the engagement.

However, their seemingly perfect love story came to a sudden end in September, as per People, which first reported the news of their split.

"It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another," a source close to the couple told the outlet.

Just before the news of their split was announced, the former couple decided to rent out the midcentury modern abode that they bought together for $4.3 million in July 2023.

Although Dobrev and White each boast their own impressive property portfolios, they decided to merge their real estate holdings when they snapped up the Hollywood Hills house, which many believed would be their marital home.

The couple purchased the property after moving in together during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 3,793-square-foot home comes with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
