Don’t Cha wish you had the keys to this chic Los Angeles home? You might be in luck, because Nicole Scherzinger is letting the “purr-fect” place go!
A little over eight years after the former Pussycat Dolls lead singer doled out $3.7 for the multi-level residence specifically because of its beautiful views framing the entire Los Angeles Basin—even going so far as to knock down a huge wall and install vast expanses of glass to enhance the scenery from the main living area, per a 2019 Architectural Digest tour—she’s now decided to part ways with her Hollywood Hills spread high above the Sunset Strip, asking a speck under $6.7 million. Per the listing held by David Parnes and James Harris of Carolwood Estates, it’s also available for rent at a pricey $40,000 per month.

Originally built in 1990 and extensively renovated during Scherzinger’s tenure, the property is cleaved to a steep hillside lot and features four bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 4,600 square feet of neutrally hued living space rife with rustic hardwood floors, high ceilings, and gallery walls that were used to accommodate her vast assemblage of commissioned artwork and career memorabilia. Copious walls of glass also offer up a look at those picturesque vistas from every conceivable vantage point.
Especially standing out is an open-concept great room, which is accented with rich wood, hand-selected marble, seagrass textures, and doors spilling out onto a wraparound terrace. Within the space is a dining area that adjoins a gourmet kitchen spotlighted by an eat-in island equipped with seats that swivel around to capture the mesmerizing vistas.
Other highlights include a cozy den sporting a fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, as well as a mirrored gym and a cave-like movie theater with tiered sofa seating for up to 10 guests. The spacious primary suite includes a snazzy linear fireplace and what Scherzinger refers to as a “big old fat, juicy, yummy balcony” hosting a firepit. A marble-clad bath has a steam shower, a full-on glam area, and a duo of soaking tubs—one inside and another on the balcony.

The undeniable star of the show is the rooftop lounge area, which contains a heated saltwater plunge pool that’s 6 feet deep, plus a sunbathing deck, a sauna, a wet bar, and last but not least, a whimsical swing where Scherzinger’s been known to literally swing all her cares away while overlooking the City of Angels. An attached two-car garage can also be found on the nearly quarter-acre grounds.
Born and raised in Hawaii, the Grammy-nominated performer is best known as the former lead singer of the pop girl group the Pussycat Dolls, whose single Don’t Cha topped the charts in 15 countries and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts. In addition to acting, which included a role in the animated Disney film Moana, she’s also served as a judge on the TV talent shows The Sing-Off, The X Factor, and The Masked Singer. Most recently, she was cast as Norma Desmond in the Broadway revival of Sunset Boulevard.
