Fall Out Boy bassist and songwriter Pete Wentz recently added to his real estate portfolio with the purchase of a Beverly Hills Mediterranean-style for $5.5 million. Nestled up in the hills near other high-profile neighbors, Wentz’ new residence formerly belonged to fellow music-industry figure, Paramount’s Randy Spendlove.
The six-bedroom home spans 5,622 square feet and welcomes visitors with an elevated double-height foyer; a curved staircase, skylight, stucco, arched portals, and plank oak floors accumulate into a warm first impression. The home unfolds as endlessly comfortable and relaxed, with fireplaces, built-ins, distressed wood, and multi-pane picture windows presenting a lifestyle that suggests classically easygoing SoCal gentility.
Entertainment-ready spaces include a rec room with a wet bar and a dedicated formal dining room off of the living room. The spacious chef’s kitchen features a massive eat-in island perfect for grabbing a quick bite.
Outside, the backyard is designed with entertaining in mind thanks to carefully tended gardens, an outdoor kitchen, a swimming pool with a spa, and a poolside cabana.
Fall Out Boy’s recent studio record MANIA was nominated for a Grammy this year.
