Kendrick Lamar’s Magnificent Villa Campus: A Haven for Luxury and Parking up to 10 Cars
Kendrick Lamar spent a good portion of his life in Manhattan Beach. After years of renting, the rapper and singer finally bought their own home three years ago, and it’s located just two blocks away from the beach with its white sand and clear ocean. He just recently purchased a classic property in the Bel Air neighborhood located in East Gate.
According to the records, Lamar paid close to the asking amount of the seller for his new property, which was $15.9 million. The construction, which was designed by the well-known Los Angeles architect Edward Fickett and features brick and wood accents, consists of a main house and a two-story guesthouse with a total of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms in slightly over 8,000 square feet of space.
Lamar’s new home, hidden behind walls and gates on a three-quarter-acre flat lot, has a two-car garage and side parking for eight cars. A previous rental listing displays a huge living/dining area with hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and a covered terrace.
A family room designed to resemble an atrium leads to a contemporary kitchen that features high-end stainless steel appliances, an eat-in island, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast room. A lengthy hallway leads to the master retreat, which features a sitting room with a fireplace, a large bathroom with twin vanities and a clawfoot soaking tub, an office that can also be used as a library, a movie theater, a wine cellar, and a gym.
The green grounds that are enclosed by walls feature a swimming pool, a spa, a sundeck, a koi pond, and an outdoor dining area. A living room that may also be used as a dining room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry room, and two bedrooms and a bathroom are located upstairs in the guesthouse.
Lamar has had a great musical career spanning twenty years. The 35-year-old native of Compton earned 14 Grammys out of a total of 39 nominations, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for “D.A.M.N.,” the first nonclassical or jazz track to do so, and performed in a hip hop-themed Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year. He also received a Pulitzer Prize for “D.A.M.N.” earlier this year.
