Motley Crue Drummer Tommy Lee Lists Calabasas Home

Posted on by

Tommy Lee, drummer of 80’s rock band Motley Crue, has listed his Calabasas home for $4.65 million, an astounding $1.2 million less than what he bought it for in the early 2000s.

The desert-contemporary style home is filled with earth toned fittings and fixtures, and complete with walnut wood and travertine stone accents, which all contribute to the unique warmth of the modern property. This 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom home covers nearly 10,000 square feet, and is split into three floors. Other features of the home are indoor cascading waterfalls within a jungle-like indoor atrium, koi pond, and stone spa. The property comes fitted, also, with stone counters, copper doors, detailed soaring ceilings, a full gym, a 13 car garage, a custom piano-shaped pool in the backyard, spa, and outdoor barbecue.

Located in Vista Point, on a cul-de-sac estate, this property offers sweeping views of the hillside as well as city lights, making it the ultimate LA dream house.

Tom Petty’s Newly Renovated Home is on the Market

Posted on by

 

Late rock legend Tom Petty’s Encino, CA home has been renovated and is on the market for $4.995 million.

The home has lived through a fire, a foreclosure, awful tenants, and even a SWAT team invasion, which makes the reveal of the totally revamped property even more stunning.

The home was rebuilt in 1989 by Tom Petty after the original structure had burned down in 1987. The family lived there until a messy divorce in 1996, after which Petty’s ex-wife Jane Benyo tried and failed to sell the house, and was forced to declare bankruptcy following the home’s foreclosure. The interim tenants from hell often held parties at the house, and at one point, prompted a SWAT team invasion.

When the developers bought the house from the bank last June, they knew they had their work cut out for them, but they went above and beyond in their delivery. The rustic yet glamorous cabin in the woods was renovated in under a year due to the strong structural integrity of the home. Superficial, cosmetic renovations to this home make a world of difference.

The six bed, ten bath home covers 11,483 square feet, and boasts a media room with sunken seating area, originally used as a private performance area, balconies, decks, wet bar, with a backyard featuring a pool with a serene waterfall and stream. The outdoor entertaining space was expanded and improved upon, now including a covered dining area and an outdoor kitchen with stainless steel appliances.

Developers note that the stone fireplace in the living room and the white bricks on the fireplace in the family room and kitchen are originals which have been left intact and seamlessly integrated into the home’s new “contemporary and current color scheme.” Much of the renovation process had to do with updating paint, treating wood, and finding ways to adjust the color scheme of the home with the goal of brightening it up.

The home is expected to sell fast, as dozens of potential buyers, including celebrities, have shown interest in the property.

Act fast, and don’t miss your chance to own this legendary piece of music history. Check out the listing on CastlesMag.com

The property sits on a gated half acre of hillside in Westside, and the home’s 6,100 square feet include five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The home takes advantage of its prime location near the water, offering limitless views of the Pacific Ocean.

Light wooden floors and paneling in addition to stone accenting in the house add to the bright, open, contemporary feel of the property. The home features four fireplaces, high ceilings, and huge windows which let in floods of sunlight.

A gorgeous terrace with ocean views ties the home together, offering a fire pit as well as areas for sunbathing, entertaining, dining, and relaxing.
