Canadian actor and comedian Will Arnett has been busy making deals in the real estate market. In 2015, he purchased a modern structure in Beverly Hills for $2.86 million. Over the next two years, Arnett renovated the residence into a spectacular smart home of glass and steel. However, in 2020, the entertainer listed his custom Californian home on the market for $11 million. After failing to attract potential buyers, the price was reduced to $8 million for which it secured a deal. Now, Arnett has moved on to another residence although in the same area. He has recently purchased a brand-new modern farmhouse in Beverly Hills for a price of $16.4 million.

The newly completed contemporary farmhouse spans 10,300 square feet with seven bedrooms and eight baths. The gated estate opens to a 25-foot brick wall entry, bleached wood siding, white-oak vaulted beams, and wine barrel ceilings. The foyer highlights a bleached wood staircase, and the home’s interior presents a sunlit open floor plan. The spacious chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with waterfall island, adjoining seating, marble backsplash, copious storage space, and pantry with apron sink. Adjacent to the kitchen rests a built-in banquette and round table for casual dining space as well as a formal dining room with dazzling chandelier. Additionally, the lavish layout presents an entertainment area with relaxing lounge space, bar, glassed-in wine display, and home theater.

Upstairs, the extravagant master suite features a cozy fireplace, seating area, and an expansive bathroom with soaking tub and walls of marble. Six of the other bedrooms offer their own ensuite bath and walk-in closets. The floor also boasts terraces overlooking the elegant outdoor area. Stepping outside, the exterior space continues to evoke a resort like essence with a saltwater pool and spa, fire pit, and abundant space for dining and entertaining. Other luxe amenities of the home include a gym, spa, home office, and garage with car lift.

The contemporary singer can now call the posh residential enclave of Bel Air, Los Angeles home after purchasing his newfound mansion at a whopping $70 million price point. This lavish real estate deal is marked as one of the most expensive sales to take place this year in Los Angeles. The transaction comes mere months after The Weeknd sold his $19.3 million Hidden Hills home to the “Queen of Pop” Madonna.

Prior to The Weeknd’s recent purchase, his newly acquired Bel Air abode was owned by Dutch media mogul Reinout Oerlemans and his wife, competitive cyclist Danielle Oerleman. The couple originally purchased the lavish home in 2015 for a price of $21.4 million. They spent three years renovating the expansive property with the addition of ultramodern amenities and 13,000 square feet of space. Reportedly, the Oerlemans were not interested in selling their glamourous residence before receiving word of The Weeknd’s inquiry. The Williams team represented the sellers in this transaction while Angel Salvador of Beverly Hills Estates represented the buyer.

The luxurious Bel Air property spans 1.6 acres of picturesque land and features approximately 33,000 square feet of ling space. With the Oerlemans’ renovations, the residence has been upgraded from its initial early 2000s aesthetic to a more contemporary look. Distinctive decorative elements of the home consist of orange gloss paint on the living room walls, leather belts repurposed into drawer handles, and office walls lined with wooden sunburst panels.  Other luxe amenities include a gym, movie theater, music studio, sauna, hammam, and indoor pool. Stepping outside, the expansive exterior showcases a a sports court, an infinity pool with waterfall, and a dramatic split staircase leading from the upper patio to the lawn which overlooks the beautiful Bel Air Country Club.
