Hot Property: Dancer adds a flip to his routine

LOS ANGELES _ Professional ballroom dancer Mark Ballas of "Dancing With the Stars" fame is ready to execute a move in Beverly Crest, listing his updated home for sale at about $4 million _ roughly $1.5 million more than what he paid for the property last year.

Sitting on more than a third of an acre, the refreshed 1970s home keeps things paired up with two kitchens and two family rooms in nearly 4,900 square feet of living space. Two fireplaces are found in the formal dining room and one of the family rooms.

Other details of note include herringbone wood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and an updated kitchen complete with crisp white cabinetry, a tiled backsplash and modern fixtures. The master suite has a large walk-in closet and a glass-enclosed shower for a total of four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.

Outdoors, tall privacy hedges surround a brick-accented patio with a swimming pool and spa.

Ballas has history when it comes to flipping. Last year, he sold a renovated Studio City home with fellow "DWTS" dancer Derek Hough for $1.85 million. They had bought the property together more than a year earlier for $1.275 million.

The 30-year-old Ballas first appeared on "DWTS" in 2007, winning the dancing competition series twice. He received an Emmy nomination for outstanding choreography in 2011.
