Beck’s Former Mediterranean-Style Retreat Lists For $8M
Throughout the years, Grammy award–winner Beck has owned several properties around Los Angeles, including this renovated 1920s estate in Hancock Park. The singer-songwriter bought the six-bedroom home in 2002 and sold it three years later for $4,200,000. Now, the 6,568-square-foot residence is back on the market, with the current owner seeking $7,999,000.
All of the home's public spaces have access to the central courtyard, allowing a seamless flow for entertaining.
Featuring an expansive living room lined with chandeliers and a hand-painted ceiling, the historic estate also includes a formal dining area, a well-stocked library with paneled walls, and a whitewashed kitchen with hand-painted floors. Stained-glass windows and wrought-iron accents tie the home to its Mediterranean–inspired roots, while the central courtyard facilitates easy entertaining. Scroll ahead to take a peek inside.
The courtyard's spacious outdoor sitting area is located right off the main kitchen.
Near the pool is a detached guesthouse, which features a kitchen, dining area, and living room.
When entering the home, guests are led to the elegant living room through a turreted entry.
