The boundary-pushing emo musician Lil Uzi Vert spent a comparatively modest $4.4 million for a glass-walled contemporary property in Bell Canyon after first having a 10-carat natural pink diamond implanted in his forehead as a third eye.
To store his daring, expensive garments, the Philadelphia native purchased a gorgeous, big, light-filled home on the outskirts of Los Angeles, around 30 miles and an hour from Beverly Hills.
The two-story property on approximately 1.5 acres has five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and spectacular mountain and city light views behind gates at the top of a winding driveway up a steep slope.
The listing was handled by David Friedman and Melodi Belluomini of Rodeo Realty, and Lil Uzi was represented by Alex Vichinsky of The Agency.
According to the marketing materials for the boxy, startlingly transparent building, it is a “one of a kind architectural masterpiece” with buff-colored stone accents, enormous walls of floor to ceiling glass, ashy brown wood floors, and stylish high-end finishes.
The double-height living/dining area opens efficiently and bluntly through the entrance door.
The kitchen’s U-shaped island wraps around a built-in dining banquette with a hefty, beautifully veined white marble table and features snow-white countertops, brass accents, and high-end appliances.
A large lofted gallery with two lounge sections overlooks the main room. Full-height windows slide open to a spacious covered patio with a floating stairway for pool access.
The master suite features a fireplace set into a stone volume between floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a luxurious bathroom with herringbone-pattern tile flooring, a double sink vanity, and a large, two-person shower behind glass.
