Better known as two-time Grammy-winning rapper, songwriter, record producer, and budding film and television actor Kid Cudi, 37-year-old Scott Mescudi has parlayed his ongoing mainstream showbiz success into the $7.7 million purchase of an 11.5-acre estate in a small and prestigious if little-heralded gated enclave in Calabasas, Calif., the increasingly popular and ever-more affluent suburb at the sun-scorched western edge of L.A.’s sprawling San Fernando Valley.

Cudi has appeared in recent years as an actor in the hit sci-fi series “Westworld” and the coming-of-age miniseries “We Are Who We Are.” Earlier this year, he appeared in the crime thriller “Crisis,” and he is scheduled to co-star in the forthcoming horror film “X.”

On paper, Cudi’s new and nearly 9,000-square-foot generically Mediterranean mansion, with its six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, has many of the exact same features as hundreds and even thousands of similarly sized suburban mansions constructed in the last two or three decades throughout Calabasas, the San Fernando Valley, and beyond The foyer was designed to impress guests with twin curved staircases adorned with wrought-iron railings, the formal living room features a fireplace and a wet bar, and French doors lead from the formal dining room to the rear of the estate.

Huge and chef-friendly with modern appliances and two islands with white marble countertops that cascade off the ends, the kitchen is open to a breakfast nook and family room with a flat-screen television mounted above the fireplace. Multiple pairs of French doors facilitate access to the backyard.

The compact fitness room with attached bathroom is easily converted into a staff or guest suite, and the large home theatre features a ceiling-mounted projection system and elevated platform seating.
