Hollywood Mansion of Pharrell Williams worth $9.2 US

Pharrell is no longer a registered homeowner in California. The Grammy Award collector has finally sold his other Tinseltown residence, a similarly eccentric but significantly slimmer and sleeker residential affair perched atop a narrow promontory deep in the Hollywood Hills.

He previously sold a rather bulbous glass mansion in the mountains above Sherman Oaks for $14 million to an unknown married couple eighteen months ago.

Pharrell spent $7.1 million for the home in 2015, so even though the $9.2 million sale price is a significant reduction from the $12 million asking price, it is still significantly greater than that amount.

The home’s new wealthy owner is Francis Davidson, CEO and founder of Sonder, the firm that manages short-term rentals and is perhaps Airbnb’s biggest technological rival. In order to successfully rent out his fellow students’ unoccupied apartments, Davidson started Sonder in 2012 from his undergraduate apartment in Montreal.

As the business expanded, Davidson dropped out of college and moved to Silicon Valley with Sonder. The company is apparently worth $1.3 billion today after obtaining $550 million from venture capital funds backed by people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Although it would undoubtedly bring in a sizable sum, it is unknown if Davidson plans to advertise his new Los Angeles property on Sonder. Hagy Belzberg, a renowned architect, created the strangely boomerang-shaped architectural masterpiece, which was finished in 2007. It gives amazing views of the city as it rises above Laurel Canyon. Two years later, Belzberg and his wife sold the house for $5.9 million to a rather enigmatic Denis Mikhaylov, an industrialist from Russia. A few years later, Mikhailov sold Pharrell the house.

And if you’re a fan of Ryan Gosling and this hilltop residence, locally known as Skyline Residence, looks somewhat familiar to you, it’s possible that it’s because Gosling used it as his bachelor pad in the 2011 smash romance comedy “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

Despite being a sizable property by Los Angeles standards—roughly 1.5 acres—the majority of it is a nearly vertical rock face. Belzberg points out that the structures have to be extremely long and narrow to fit the similarly long and narrow shape of the buildable pad in order to accommodate the roughly 6,000-square-foot main house and separate guesthouse.

The Skyline Residence is located at the end of a long dead-end street and is safely hidden behind two sets of gates. It has a central motor court that divides the main house from the guesthouse, the latter of which has a two-car garage.

One of the estate’s coolest features is the outdoor movie theater, which is made possible by a projector and the guesthouse’s remarkable single-plate folding roof. Davidson and his visitors can relax on the rooftop seats of the garage at dusk and watch a movie on the exterior of the guesthouse.

A distinct viewpoint is provided by the motor court, which Belzberg created to function as both a parking lot and a place where friends and family might congregate.

A full flight of stairs leads up to the main residence’s glass doorway from the vehicle court. The first area inside has terrazzo flooring, a floating fireplace covered in stainless steel, and windows all around.

The infinity-edged pool, which sways above the nearby canyons and city lights, is visible from the living area.

A modern kitchen with quartz countertops and a dining space that seats four is located next to the living room.

For more formal meals, there is a dining space with a floor to ceiling “green” wall.

While the guesthouse offers a second bedroom suite, the main house has four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. A fireplace, a sitting area, and extra luxurious vistas can be found in the master suite.

The main bathroom has a distinctive soaking tub and a glass-walled shower that are both decorated with money-green onyx.

The custom walk-in closet is covered in stunning oak and has enough space for everyone but the most devoted fashionistas.

Additionally, the property has an office. The majority of the home’s rooms have direct access to the pool area, including this one.

As the sun set over the sprawling hills of Los Angeles, the Hollywood Mansion of Pharrell Williams stood as a beacon of creativity and success. Its walls echoed with the melodies of timeless music, while its rooms bore witness to legendary parties and inspiring collaborations. Within those walls, Pharrell’s legacy lived on, forever etched into the fabric of the entertainment industry, inspiring generations to come.
