Legendary composer Burt Bacharach falls for a beach pad in Del Mar
Composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach has bought a place in Del Mar for $5.5 million.
Although the house may appear somewhat pedestrian for that price in the listing photos, in seaside Del Mar, location doesn’t come cheap. The mid-’70s two-story, with a detached studio, is just across the street and beyond a house to the sand.
The 2,626 square feet of interior space include a living room with a fireplace, a family room, the kitchen, six bedrooms and four bathrooms. There are four driveway parking spots.
Bacharach, 87, is a six-time Grammy winner and three-time Oscar winner. He paired with lyricist Hal David to write hits for Dionne Warwick and Perry Como.
Among Bacharch’s memorable songs are “I Say a Little Prayer,†“Walk on By†and “The Look of Love.†He won Academy Awards for “Arthur†and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.â€
The property was most recently listed in June at $5.95 million.
