Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, more notably recognized as Grammy nominated rapper Big Sean, has recently bid farewell to his Los Angeles residence. The property located in the exclusive Mulholland Estates gated community was officially sold two months ago at the whopping price of $11 million. Now, the American musician is making news with yet another real estate transaction but this time, as a buyer. Anderson has recently purchased a newfound residence in the guard-gated enclave of Encino, California for $8.1 million. The property was originally listed in May for $10 million but was ultimately sold to Anderson at a nearly $2 million discount. Reportedly, this space is slightly smaller than his previous abode but is a Chateau style mansion with elegant touches of French Normandy-style.

Built in 2005, Anderson’s lavish Encino mansion was completely renovated four years ago. Sitting on almost half an acre of lush land, the residence spans more than 10,000 square feet with six bedrooms and nine baths. Stepping inside the three-floor home, the interior showcases stone-clad features and luxurious touches evoking the elegant feel of a European chateau. The space opens to a soaring foyer with a winding staircase. The formal living room highlights dome skylights and a full library wall while the casual family room features a wood-burning fireplace and retractable glass doors leading to a covered, wood-lined patio with fireplace. The sleek gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and two sizable islands. Further into the home rests a formal dining room and a breakfast nook with French doors opening to an outdoor loggia with a built-in barbecue.

Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a cozy fireplace, private balcony, and walk in closet. The spa like bath presents dual vanities, a glass encased shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. The upper floor also offers a separate spa section with a sauna and massage room. The basement features its own relaxing and entertainment options with a mirrored gym, plush movie theater, 1,000-bottle wine cellar, and game room with wet bar. Stepping outside, the expansive exterior includes a grassy backyard, air-conditioned pool house, swimming pool, spa, brick motor court, and three-car garage.

Paul Coleman was the listing agent. James Harris and Alex Vichinsky of The Agency represented the buyer.

In March of 2020, days before California’s stay at home orders were implemented, Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger purchased the classic Hollywood residence of Novogratz Castle for $8.5 million. The lavish space was initially listed last spring for $9.4 million by video game programmer Jeff Strain. However, Reedus and Kruger were able to acquire the historic home at a reduced price. The two actors have reportedly been together since 2016 and in 2018, purchased a townhouse in New York City. Now, the duo’s regal chateau in the Hollywood Hills is being listed on the market only a year after purchase. The current asking price for the grand castle is a $9.25 million. The reason as to why they are selling their posh residence is unknown.

Built in 1926, the Novogratz Castle spans a whopping 7,732 square feet with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The French Normandy-style home seamlessly blends a regal ambience of cathedral ceilings, crown moldings, and arched windows with modern hardwood floors, custom shelving, and black-and-white accent walls. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a marble island, state of the art appliances, and butler’s pantry. The luxe primary suite features a fireplace, spacious closet, balcony with French doors, and bathroom with unique glass shower and designer tile. The home’s updated amenities include an art media room, recording studio, arcade, bar, and gym. Stepping outside, the scenic exterior space offers a saltwater swimming pool, basketball court, chic patio under string lights, and terraced gardens with century-old trees and abundant foliage.

Wolf Amer, Jon Grauman, and Andrew Botto of the Agency hold the listing for this property.
