Michael Peter Balzary, known artistically as Flea, He has just put his large mansion in La Crescenta up for sale againCalifornia. The residence It is available on the market for $6.9 million dollarsand the sale is being handled by agent Sheri Rogers of Compass.
Musician and leader of the band Red Hot Chili Peppers He bought this modern residence in 2018 for $4.25 million dollars and intended to sell it in 2022 for $10 million dollars. The lack of interested parties caused him to take the property off the market until this new attempt.
The reason why the residence was not sold two years ago is unknown, since It is a property that occupies a 5.7 acre lot and it has a very interesting history. Furthermore, it mixes the style of two great contemporary architects.
The original structure of the property It was built in the 50s under the design of Richard Neutrathe Austrian architect who is considered the most important of the Modern Movement. People say that Nutra built the house for his secretary Dorothy Serulnic.
That structure still exists. It has an area of 1,350 square feet Distributed in two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. Its interior design highlights the built-in furniture designed by Neutra himself, a Bear Valley stone fireplace and glass walls.
Although the small house is important because it is a work by Richard Neutra, the truth is that the jewel of the property It was built at the beginning of the 21st century by the architect Michael Maltzan. The end result is known as Pittman Dowell.
The final result was so impressive that has managed to obtain several recognitions: AIA National Honor Award, 2012; AIA California Council Honor Award, 2010; AIA Design Honor Award, 2010; Runner-up for Architectural Review House of the Year, 2010; AIA Los Angeles NEXT LA Award, 2007; Architect Magazine P/A Award, 2006.
The main residence It has an area of 3,100 square feet and stands out for being a 7-sided structure with an interior patio. The last recorded intervention on the house was in 2021 and it was an 875-square-foot expansion; in that year the property already belonged to the leader of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Outside there are terraces, a swimming pool, a spa area, green areas and other ideal spaces to enjoy the outdoors with family or friends.
