Rod Stewart lists $105 million LA mansion
Legendary rocker Rod Stewart has put his mega mansion on the market.
The listing comes just days after the star’s former Malibu home was listed for an asking price of $49.5m (AU$74.2m), with the Wall Street Journal first reporting his current Los Angeles compound is asking for $70m (AU$105m).
With a European style, situated in the gated enclave of North Beverly Park, the property spans 3,065 sqm with a pool and a soccer field.
Although a soccer field is a rarity in LA, it’s no surprise Stewart, 78, is an avid soccer fan.
The 78-year-old was even spotted in Malibu playing football with the Scottish national team on the beach after inviting them to play there.
The Journal noted that according to sales records, Stewart purchased the property in 1991 for $12,08m. He also owns a home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Images of the home showcase Old World-style finishes such as ceiling mouldings and medallions, Corinthian columns, crystal chandeliers and stunning marble floors in various patterns.
The main house boasts nine bedrooms, one being the primary suite with a sitting room and a terrace that looks over the pool.
The main wardrobe is also found in the primary suite — one large enough to store the rocker’s massive show collection.
Elsewhere offers entertaining areas, including a flashy speak-easy with eye-catching jade green-painted walls.
A main-floor great room showcases a bar and a loggia to spend time with guests outdoors.
The listing also includes a three-stories-tall guest house with two gyms.
Michelle Oliver of Douglas Elliman has the listing and declined to reveal why the British icon has decided to sell.
She noted it is suitable for owners who are seeking “a return to maximalism” and for “something that looks different and stands out.”
