Kid Rock has officially checked out of Malibu, but with a whimper rather than a bang.
The singer-songwriter recently sold his Balinese-inspired compound for $9.5 million, $2.1 million less than he paid for it in 2006, in a deal completed off-market.
Built in 2002 and recently updated, the 8,300-square-foot house features hand-carved doors and ornate woodwork and ebony wood floors. Skylights and French doors create a light and airy vibe within the home.
Common areas include a blackand-white mosaic foyer that opens to a formal living room, an adjacent dining room and an openplan kitchen. A two-sided fireplace serves as a divider between the common areas.
Agym, an office and a sauna are among the amenities. A total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms includes a master suite with two walk-in closets and a glassenclosed shower.
Outdoors, lawns and lush landscaping surround the swimming pool and lounge area. An outdoor dining pavilion complete with a built-in barbecue, mounted flat-screen TV and fireplace sits off the main house. A separate guesthouse overlooks the pool area.
Michael Cunningham of Pinnacle Estate Properties was the listing agent. He did not represent the musician in his original purchase.
Rock, 46, gained fame for his 1998 album “Devil Without a Cause.” The multiple-instrument musician, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, released the album “First Kiss” this year.
Spec market is his new jam
Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, who this month released a duo album with Christine McVie, is ready to record a sale in Brentwood. He’s put a newly built home in the Westside community for $22.5 million — nearly four times what he paid for the property four years ago.
Described
as “Modern Georgian” in the listing, the three-story house has
wood-shingle siding, sets of dormers and crisp white trim that give off
an East Coast vibe.
The
interior, awash in white walls and light wood floors, includes formal
living and dining rooms, chef’s and prep kitchens, a library, six
bedrooms and 7.75 bathrooms. A marble-topped bar and screening room lie
within the “adult” family room area. The master suite has one of three
fireplaces and a balcony overlooking the grounds.
Aguesthouse,
which could double as a writer’s retreat or studio space, sits across
from the swimming pool. Bluestone terraces, a fire pit, an outdoor
shower, lawns and mature landscaping fill out the grounds.
David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties is the listing agent.
Buckingham,
67, gained fame as the frontman and lead guitarist for Fleetwood Mac.
He contributed to seven of the band’s studio albums, including the
critically acclaimed “Rumours” in 1977.
As
a solo artist, he has released nine albums. He was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as amember of the group in 1998.
Youth movement in Beverly Park
Cody Leibel, high-end
developer and heir to a Canadian construction fortune, has bought the
former Beverly Park home of actress and country singer Reba McEntire for
$25.15 million.
The
Mediterranean-inspired villa, built in 1993, was renovated after
McEntire sold the property two years ago in an off-market deal for
$22.25 million.
The
six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home sits at the end of a gated drive on
about 2 acres. It has nearly 11,600 square feet of living space that
includes a grand foyer, aliving room with a wet bar, a formal dining
room, a study/ lounge and a center-island kitchen. A wine vault sits
across from the breakfast rooms. The master suite opens to a balcony
overlooking the grounds.
Outdoors, tall palms and
landscaping surround the swimming pool and spa. A 2,000-square-foot
pavilion sits across from the pool and features wood-vaulted ceilings, a
second kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. Behind the pavilion
is a hedged and lighted tennis court.
With
the purchase, the 36-yearold Leibel is believed to be the youngest
homeowner in Beverly Park history, according to sources with knowledge
of the sale and area. Other residents of the guardgated enclave, where
vacant lots alone command eight-figure price tags, include Sylvester
Stallone, Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy.
Mauricio
Umansky and Farrah Aldjufrie of the Agency were the listing agents.
Drew Fenton and Justin P. Huchel of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of
Christie’s International Real Estate, represented Leibel.
Leibel is the son of Canadian construction magnate and motor sports champion Lorne Leibel.
Earlier this year he made real estate news when he sold his home in Beverly Crest to pop star Katy Perry.
New mansion, same amore
In
the Trousdale section of Beverly Hills, a spec house built on the site
of Rat Pack star Dean Martin’s former residence has been introduced to
the market for $27.95 million.
The developer of the modern estate, Patrik Mirahmadi, said
he tried to emulate the former Rat Pack home by including glamorous
entertainment options and an indoor-outdoor feel that is expressed
through a 12-foot wall of glass that separates living spaces.
Martin
called the previous residence, in the heart of the celebrity-popular
neighborhood, home from 1988 to 1995. Other Trousdale residents have
included such entertainers as Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, Elvis Presley
and Ray Charles. Prior to Martin, the estate was owned by David Janssen,
star of the hit series “The Fugitive” (1963-67).
Martin,
nicknamed “the King of Cool,” was a singer, actor and comedian. He was
comedy partners with Jerry Lewis before starring on his own television
program, “The Dean Martin Show.”
Martin also had dozens of hit singles, including “That’s Amore” and “Everybody Loves Somebody.”
The
new property sits on a nearly full acre lot and has a long, gated
driveway. The driveway gives it a private feel, Mirahmadi said, that
sets it apart from other homes in the neighborhood that sit on the
street.
Beyond the front gates, the estate features walls of marble around the entrance. The living room is a spacious area
with a bar and motorized glass doors. There are also a full-size home
theater, a gym, an office and a spa. The outdoor area offers open patios
with a fireplace, a deck with builtin seating, a fire pit, a swimming
pool and an outdoor kitchen.
The developer said his favorite part of the house is the 15-car display garage.
“It
is more like a car showroom than a garage,” Mirahmadi said. “It has
clear garage doors that make it more of a display than a storage unit.”
Mirahmadi is working on two other developments in L.A. that he plans to release to the market late this summer.
Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker is the listing agent for Mirahmadi’s current project.
Actress lets go of laid-back haunt
“Vampire Diaries” star Kat Graham has pulled up stakes in the Hollywood Hills, selling her home of five years for $1.175 million.
The
Spanish-style house, obscured from the street by gates and fences, was
built in 1927. An ornate front door, wood and tile floors and separate
meditation and music rooms are among the features of the bohemian-vibe
retreat.
Some 2,174
square feet of living space includes a living room with beamed ceilings,
an updated kitchen, a den, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Lush
landscaping surrounds a patio in the backyard. Acourtyard with a
fountain sits off the front entry.
Carl Gambino of Westside Estate Agency was the listing agent. Mark Meyer of Keller Williams Realty represented the buyer.
Graham,
27, was a fixture on the supernatural series “The Vampire Diaries.”
More recently, she played the role of Jada Pinkett in “All Eyez on Me,”
the newly released film biopic about late hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur.
Also a singer, Graham has collaborated with such artists as will.i.am, Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber.
She bought the house in 2012 for $849,000, public records show.
