Five-Time Grammy Winner Beck Buys L.A. Home for $3.2M

Hollywood behind-the-scenes power couple, James Mangold and Cathy Konrad, have sold their modest, yet architecturally impressive home in the Mandeville Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles to alt-rocker Beck for $3.15 million.

The 2,600-square-foot home was built in 1964 and holds three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It has been meticulously restored and upgraded but still has many of the original facets architect Gerard Colcord designed, like the hand-hewn ceiling beams. Famed Looney Toons cartoonist Lou Lilly also once owned the home.

All three of the bedrooms, an office, and two of the bathrooms are located upstairs, with a few reading nooks and the other bathrooms situated downstairs. There is also another living space above the detached two-car garage.

Mangold was the co-writer of Oscar-winning “Walk the Line” and director of “The Wolverine,” and his wife Konrad is responsible for the show “Scream: The TV Series.” The couple made a nice return on Beck’s new home, which they purchased for around $2.3 million in 2006. This isn’t the first home that the five-time Grammy winner Beck has bought in the LA area.
