Producer Babyface — a.k.a. Kenneth Brian Edmonds — put his grand estate in Bel Air up for sale this spring. The 7,508 sq. ft. mansion is currently listed on the open market with an asking price of $7.999 million.
Situated on a .48-acre lot in Bel Air Crest, the house was custom built and completed in 2000. Beyond a set of what appear to be reclaimed front doors, the living spaces begin with a double-staircase foyer with a limestone floor, two-story ceiling and a large skylight.
The amenities list for this home is a long one; highlights include a master suite with a two-sided fireplace accent wall dividing bedroom from sitting area, a billiards room, a gym, a theater, and a lounge with a full-sized bar, espresso-stained oak plank, gray walls and French doors opening to the terrace.
Outside, the centerpiece is a lagoon-inspired pool with multiple waterfall features; an outdoor kitchen with a bar and various living spaces are arranged on the perimeter of the home.
Babyface is an accomplished singer in his own right, and has the exceptional ability to write and/or produce number one hits for others. That list is long and includes the likes of Madonna, Eric Clapton, and Toni Braxton.
