British fashion e-commerce pioneers Tom and Ruth Chapman could notch the priciest residential sale of the year the Beverly Hills enclave of Trousdale Estates, where they just listed their five-bed, six-bath mansion for $42 million.

The ask on the 6,287-square-foot property house pencils out to $6,680-per-square-foot.

Dena Luciano of Douglas Elliman and Carl Gambino of Compass serve as listing agents.

Luciano was a listing agent for the house when the Chapmans bought it for $24 million in 2017.

The Chapmans extensively renovated the 60-year-old house since then, working with Los Angeles interior designer Studio Shamshiri.
