Late Eagles Frontman Glenn Frey’s Estate Comes to Market in Brentwood for $15M

Published: October 17, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

The home of late Eagles co-founder and singer Glenn Frey hit the open market last week. The Brentwood Park Mediterranean-style listed with an asking price of $14.995 million; Frey—who passed away last year at the age of 67—purchased the property in 2002, following a long run with the reformed Eagles.

The main house was constructed in 1995; with the guest house, there are six bedrooms and eleven baths on the property. The exterior of the main house is defined by a pleasingly asymmetrical design; plenty of overt rusticity including semicircular tile, stucco, wrought iron, and an arched, double-door entry; and landscaping which highlights the architectural style very well. Rusticated stone accent walls and driveway gate pilasters enhance the effect.

The home’s interiors begin with a double-height foyer; tile floors, a staircase with wrought-iron balustrade winding up to a second-floor gallery, and soft angles comprise the opening statement. The rustic, open, and bright feel continues through living room, dining room, and open concept kitchen/dayroom/family room. Plaster walls, and rough-hewn wide-plank floors and exposed beams help to emphasize the substantial, and even the kitchen favors low-key essential to flash.

The bedrooms include a master suite that features an open ceiling with a stick effect, bringing a little Pacific influence into the mix. French doors open from the master onto a private balcony; the master bath features a smaller balcony, accessed via a single glass-paned door, all its own.

The grounds extend to about seven-tenths of an acre, and include gardens, patios, water features, lawns, and pool/spa with cabana. The guest house is currently purposed as a gym.

Frey was a lifelong Eagle, taking lead vocal duties on many of their most famous hits; the band helped to define the FM radio sound of the 1970’s, and the world-weary Southern California-inflected country/rock lyric style that dominated the charts during the era. His solo career included hits ‘Smuggler’s Blues’ and ‘The Heat Is On.’
