Akon asks $3.5 million for his ultra-chic Woodland Hills home
Akon, the R&B and hip hop singer and producer, has put his ultra-modern Woodland Hills home up for sale at $3.5 million.
He renovated the now dazzlingly white house for indoor-outdoor living, creating a focal point swimming pool with a beach entry and spa surrounded by three fire pits and an outdoor kitchen. An upper patio looks down on the pool.
A blue phone room and bluish undermount lighting accent the white-on-white interiors. Walls of glass and clerestory windows bring light into the interiors.
The 4,098-square-foot house also has a state-of-the-art recording studio, a bar and a three-car garage. There are five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
Akon, who calls Atlanta home, spends a fair amount of time in Los Angeles recording, producing music and pursuing acting. The 41-year-old will be in the independent thriller “American Heist†this year as well as several other upcoming films.
Among his hit songs were “Locked Up,†“Smack That†and “I Want to Love You.â€
He bought the nearly half-acre property in September for $1.95 million.
