Calvin Harris sells Hollywood Hills House to Charli XCX

After Calvin Harris listed it again that summer for a princely $ 5.5 million, he managed to unload his idiosyncratic Los Angeles home, albeit with a $ 5.1 million discount. The highly compensated Scottish DJ barely broke even on the sprawling estate, which he bought from DJ Steve Angello for a hair over $ 5 million in 2017. Located in a semi-secluded corner of the Hollywood Hills, the stylish venue has a variety of celebrity-style upgrades, including a sophisticated recording studio.

Given the amenities, it’s not surprising that property records suggest the new owner is another famous musician – English importer Charlotte Aitchison, better known as Charli XCX, the prolific singer-songwriter and record producer who is perhaps best known for her International work is successful hits like “I Love It” by Icona Pop, “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea and Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello’s mega-smash “Señorita”, which she co-wrote.

The anthracite-colored building sits securely and privately high above the street in front of the house and comprises a main house and an attached guest house (with the recording studio mentioned above), which together comprise a glamorous living space of around 6,000 square feet. There is a double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a gourmet kitchen that leads directly to the property’s outdoor pool via a disappearing Fleetwood glass door.

The highlight of the property is arguably not the recording studio, but rather the epic two-story master suite in the main house, which includes a cavernous living room as well as a neutrally-toned bedroom, bathroom with two vanities and a bathtub, and a fancy dressing room with custom built-ins and backlighting.

Over in the guest house there is a smaller but no less luxurious fully equipped kitchen, another fireplace, cozy rooms for relaxing or thinking and a balcony with a view over the treetops to the surrounding hills. The artist’s studio includes expensive sound absorbing materials and a private bathroom.

The 28 year old Charli XCX recently released her fourth album “How I’m Feeling Now”, which received critical acclaim. And astute real estate watchers will remember that this isn’t the all-rounder’s first LA home. She still owns her “starter” home in Hollywood Hills, tucked away in nearby Beachwood Canyon and currently for sale with a $ 3.45 million price tag. The “Boom Clap” singer is also selling her million dollar house in London’s posh Chelsea neighborhood.

Harris – real name Adam Wiles – recently dumped his other Hollywood Hills home, a modern building above the busy Sunset Strip, to an undisclosed tech entrepreneur for $ 7 million. But he still maintains a $ 15 million estate in the Benedict Canyon area of ​​LA, as well as an empty lot from Bel Air, which he bought for nearly $ 14 million in 2018.

Josh Altman and Matt Altman of the Altman Brothers team at Douglas Elliman kept the listing; Christine Hameline and Silva Hameline from Re / Max Elite have signed Charli XCX again.
