The 7,196 square feet of living space includes afamily room, a breakfast nook, five bedrooms and six bathrooms. There’s also a bonus room that can function as a home theater, office or library — or more likely, a music room.
His old spot is a boxy modernstyle home that has 13-foot ceilings, 10-foot walls of glass and mixed materials throughout the 4,173 square feet of interior space. Loft-like living spaces include a media room, an office and a master suite with three walk-in closets.

Setting sights on a new direction
Harry Styles, singer-songwriter of One Direction fame, has listed his contemporary-style home in Hollywood Hills West for sale at $8.495 million.
Tucked behind a motorized gate on a quarter-acre lot, the multi-level home boasts an
open floor plan and pocketing walls of glass that capitalize on Southern
California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Views from the home, set above
the Sunset Strip, extend from the downtown cityscape to the ocean.
The
4,100 square feet of subdued living space includes a center-island
kitchen, a screening room and a gym. The four bedrooms and six bathrooms
include atop-floor master suite that opens to a private balcony.

His new move is in development
“Dancing With the Stars” regular Derek Hough has
put a development property in Sherman Oaks on the market for $1.795
million — more than three times what the professional dancer paid for it
two years ago.
Set up
from the street on a hilltop, the roughly half-acre property is being
marketed with cityapproved plans for a modern-style home with clean
lines, clerestories and walls of glass. The proposed house of 3,358
square feet will have three bedrooms and four bathrooms including a

The
Robert Byrd-designed home, built in 1955, sits behind gates and is
surrounded by conservancy-owned land. Expansive views from the more than
half-acre site take in the canyon, city lights and ocean.
Beyond
the bohemian front doors, the roughly 2,540 square feet of living space
opens to a round foyer lined with terracotta tile. Exposed brickwork,
beamed ceilings and wood paneling speak to the home’s rustic vibe.
Decorative Spanish tile work brightens the kitchen. Upper and lower
master suites are among three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Shooter’s sale misses the mark
Here’s one for the loss column.
Golden State Warriors’ Kevin Durant has
sold his twin townhouse-style lodgings in Oklahoma City for $1.1
million — far less than the $1.769 million he paid in 2013 before
combining them into a single home.
The
side-by-side three-story properties are connected by a passageway and
contain a total of six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and 7,000 square feet
of living space.
The
small forward reportedly put $3 million into the place, according to
real estate agent Rhonda Bratton of Churchill- Brown & Associates
Realtors.
What he
created are some seriously luxurious contemporary digs. One part of the
home was designed as living quarters and the other designated for
entertaining. A billiards room opens to a theater/media room on one
level.
There’s also an exercise area, a room-size sauna and attached parking for four vehicles.
Durant,
28, is an eight-time All-Star and was the NBA’s most valuable player in
2014. He left the Oklahoma City Thunder last year after signing a
two-year, $54.3- million contract with the Warriors.
