Superstar singer Seal just purchased a Los Angeles-area home for $3.6 million.

The four-time Grammy-winning musician’s new residence is located in Topanga, and nestled up in the mountains above Malibu. The private retreat boasts an airy modern vibe, and a fair amount of textural variation; the interiors are quite moody, with grey scale represented heavily, and distressed plank warming things up.

The four-bedroom, 3, 600 square-foot home’s main living space is the family room, where a contemporary floor-to-ceiling fireplace in a black-tiled accent wall segues into a grey monolithic expression, and soaring cathedral ceilings adorned with skylights liberate. The formal dining space is clad with windows.

The kitchen also impresses with cathedral ceilings, minimalist cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and dark stone countertops; clerestories give the room a great sense of space. Sliding glass doors open to a charming patio.

The three-acre property boasts a tennis court, a kid’s playground, and a saltwater swimming pool. And excellent views indeed.
