British chanteuse Natasha Bedingfield has relisted her striking contemporary residence in Los Angeles on the market. The singer/songwriter is now asking $4.75 million for the property, a 4,800 square foot home which she purchased in 2009 for $2.3 million. Bedingfield has had the house on and off the market for three years, seeing it through a few price cuts, and offering it as a rental in the meantime.
The property is situated in the Laughlin Park community in Los Feliz. Dating to the early 1950’s, the home makes an imposing first impression as a particularly boxy and monolithic contemporary style. It measures a little less than 4,800 square feet, and contains five bedrooms and five baths.
Thoroughly remodeled, the home’s highly polished terrazzo floors and rigid angularity are beautifully balanced by natural-finished hardwood window surrounds, doors and accents. The wide-open common living area is bright, a little stark, and quite warm, as a result; the revision aesthetic was pretty heavily Scandinavian-influenced. This is especially evident in the kitchen, which favors the simplicity, functionality, and gentle modernity of the style.
The master bedroom features the same emphasis on fundamentals, and features a private sitting room, and a private terrace, one of several the home’s design offers.
The nicely comprehensive list of amenities for this home includes a dance studio, a wet bar, a fitness studio, a recording studio, an office, a home theater, and a pool and spa.
Bedingfield’s pop successes include the studio records ‘Unwritten’ and ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’; the young singer’s album-in-the-works is titled ‘The Next Chapter.’
