It seems that a buyer wasn’t close by! Charlie Puth’s longstanding home in Beverly Hills’ upscale Trousdale Estates area has remained up for sale for almost five months, despite its initial asking price of around $17 million. However, it has since come up for sale once more, this time with new agents and a significantly lower $14 million asking price—roughly $3 million less than the Grammy-nominated artist had first desired for the home back in November.
The 32-year-old New Jersey native—who is currently engaged to his childhood friend Brooke Sansone—acquired the modernist digs back in winter 2017 for around $9 million. Built and designed in the mid-1960s by noted architect Rex Lotery—and widely known as “The de Cordova House,” for its previous owners Freddie de Cordova, a longtime producer of The Tonight Show when it was hosted by Johnny Carson, and his socialite wife Janet—the stone, concrete, glass and wood structure features four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 4,800 square feet of recently renovated living space.
A gated motorcourt with room for up to nine vehicles sits out front, with towering double doors opening into a main-level entry foyer displaying a striking floating staircase. From there, steps descend to a wet bar-equipped great room lined with walls of glass, and other highlights include a cozy fireside sitting area, dining room topped with a sculptural chandelier, and gourmet kitchen outfitted with wood cabinetry, marble countertops, an eat-in island, commercial-grade appliances and a hidden refrigerator.
The amenities continue upstairs, where a sumptuous primary suite comes complete with a spa-inspired bath sporting dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, steam shower and sauna; and outdoors, the ridge-top grounds span roughly a half-acre, and hold a swimming pool nestled alongside a sundeck, fire-pit, and numerous spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a spacious garage that’s been converted into a full fitness studio.
Puth first gained mainstream attention at age 18 with YouTube videos featuring tunes such as Someone Like You. He went on to release his debut album Nine Track Mind in 2016, with it peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. His hit singles include One Call Away, Marvin Gaye, We Don’t Talk Anymore and the Furious 7 theme song See You Again, which spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, and earned him three Grammy nods, a Golden Globe nomination and 9x-platinum certification in the U.S.
In addition to his for-sale Beverly Hills home, which is now listed by James Harris and David Parnes of Carolwood Estates, Puth also owns properties in Studio City and Santa Barbara.
