LOS ANGELES — From his top hat to his leather pants, Slash commands attention both on and off the stage. But when it came to the sale of his Sherman Oaks mansion, the rock star kept things surprisingly low-key.
The guitarist of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver last month sold his home in a guard-gated community for US$8.7 million in a deal completed off-market. The buyer, according to sources not authorized to comment on the deal, was rapper Big Sean.
The Mediterranean-style home, built in 2005, has seven bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and about 11,000 square feet of living space.
Interior spaces, which featured pirate ship-shaped chandeliers and faux alligator wallpaper during Slash’s ownership, include a formal dining room, a dual-island chef’s kitchen and a family room with a wet bar. A lower-level lounge holds a DJ booth, recording studio, screening room and a metal pole for dancing.
A beach volleyball court and a swimming pool and spa highlight the grounds.
Slash, 52, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Guns N’ Roses. He reunited with original bandmates Axl Rose and Duff McKagan last year for a reunion tour.
He bought the house eight years ago for US$7.3 million, records show.
Big Sean, whose real name is Sean Michael Anderson, has released four studio albums, including I Decided this year. The 29-year-old was a featured artist on Justin Bieber’s 2015 album, Purpose.
Eastbound & Down... from the hills
Danny McBride of Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals fame has sold his home in Hollywood Hills West outside the Multiple Listing Service for US$3.5 million.
Now available for lease at US$14,995 a month, the gated compound sits on about a third of an acre with a swimming pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen and a detached guest house. Lush landscaping and mature trees surround the property for a canyon-cool feel.
The 4,000 square feet of interior space is fully furnished and exposed beams and a step-down library/den with a wall of built-ins. The centre-island kitchen sits adjacent to a dining area, which flows into the living room.
There are three bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a master suite with a private deck and an above-ground spa.
Decking surrounds the swimming pool in the backyard. Elsewhere on the property is a two-car garage.
McBride, 38, was a creator, writer and lead actor on the HBO comedies Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals. His film credits include the comedies Pineapple Express (2008), Your Highness (2011) and This Is the End (2013).
This year McBride appeared in the films Alien: Covenant and The Disaster Artist.
