'Maggie May' Singer Rod Stewart Sells Beverly Hills Condo for $1.2M
Highly-successful singer Rod Stewart has officially unloaded one of his California properties.
Stewart, famed for singing "Maggie May" and "I Don't Want to Talk About It," sells his Beverly Hills rental condo for $1.2 million, Los Angeles Times reported, citing public records. The popular songwriter tasked Annie Challis of Keller Williams to handle the listing while Yi-Hsuan Chang of Century 21 Care served as the buyer's agent. The 70-year-old music artist had previously bought the Beverly Hills abode for only $949,000 10 years ago, giving him a decent profit of nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
The penthouse unit with a Mediterranean-inspired theme displays three bathrooms and two bedrooms, including a master suite that comes with a fireplace and a walk-in closet. Other living areas in the modern apartment are a laundry room, two balconies and a stylish kitchen with granite-lined counter tops, stainless-steel appliances and a dining area.
The 1,822-square-foot condominium unit boasts skylights, an airy atmosphere courtesy of an open floor plan and views of the Los Angeles skyline.
Another property in Los Angeles
The popular hitmaker still has another more expansive property in the area. In 2007, Variety described the home as "behemoth" and "gargantuan," but with its more than 18,700-square-foot living space, it must be.
Yet, what's more astounding is the large residence's location, which sits on four acres of Los Angeles prime land. The said estate reportedly showcases eight bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. Aside from the images on the real estate blog site, photos of the Beverly Park home, where the singer lived with his third wife of eight years Penny Lancaster, were also featured on Architectural Digest eight years ago.
Stewart's artistic collection and his exquisite taste in designing his home make his mansion very elegant.
Stewart still loves singing
The British rock legend, whose distinctive throaty, scratchy but pleasant voice that propelled him to stardom, has sold over 100 million records worldwide, noted Express.
Stewart began catching much attention from music fans in the 1960s and 1970s when he became the lead singer of The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces. Stewart, who won his first and only Grammy award for "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album" for his album "Stardust ... The Great American Songbook: Volume III (J Records)," per PR News Wire, is celebrating his 50th year in the music industry. However, as per Mail Online, he still wants to continue singing until his fans want him to.
"People ask me 'When are you going to stop?' and my answer always is that's something I can't decide. I think the public decide for you," Stewart said.
