Nora Lum, commonly known as her stage name Awkwafina, has purchased a four-bedroom mansion in Bel Air for $3.5 million. Awkwafina is a rapper, comedian, and actor, best known for her role in Crazy Rich Asians.

The Bel Air mansion has a modern, boxy architecture that appears simple yet stands out immediately. Located in a gated residence, the mansion sits privately in a secluded drive at the end of a cul-de-sac. Built in 1991 and designed by architect Richard Dodson, the 3,500 square foot space was inspired by Streamline Moderne décor.

The two-story property has an open-concept layout with numerous windows scattered throughout. The spacious living room has built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a fireplace. Other living space amenities include a dining area and a chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking appliances.

The upstairs level holds an office or creative studio as well as the master suite. The master suite features dual closets, a fireplace, and a spa-inspired bathroom with an oval soaking tub and separate shower. It also features a private deck with a grassy seating area.

Other home amenities include a 2,500 bottle wine cellar, soundproof recording studio, and a gym. Outside has a putting area, heated pool and spa, and grassy lawn spaces perfect for relaxing. The property also has rooftop solar panels and a two-car garage.

The listing was held by Mick Partridge of the Partridge Estates at Hilton & Hyland.

Then check out this compellingly priced 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath pool home that’s been tastefully upgraded with a custom-kitchen, granite counter-top and cornice moldings. It features walk-in closets, a formal dining room, private patio-pool, located on a larger end-lot. It’s owned by wealthy Canadian businessman who only spends a couple months a year here in the winter. For that reason it can be purchased completely furnished, turn key—right down to the baby-grand piano and crystal glasses. A true bargain in today’s market.

Some call Atlantis a hidden Florida gem, but you can call it home! The city is located just minutes from Lake Worth and Palm Beach, FL. It originated from a cattle ranch in Mulberry Farms, owned by Philip D. Lewis, a former Florida State Senator. In 1958, real estate developers Nathan Hunt and Paul Kintz purchased the land and built a gated golf and country-club community. The development added adjacent land for commercial use and was incorporated in 1959.

Atlantis is home to JFK Medical Center, originally called the John F. Kennedy Hospital. It's Main Campus houses a 486-bed acute care medical and surgical facility providing comprehensive services including 24-hour emergency services, cardiovascular care, cancer care, breast care, neurosciences, stroke care, general, minimally invasive & robotic surgery, orthopedic care, spine care, bariatrics, sleep disorders, wound management, behavioral health and obstetrics. The JFK Medical Center provides quality, cost-effective healthcare to the Atlantis community. Still working or retired, Atlantis is a great place to live.
