Charlie Puth’s exclusive sanctuary might just be a phone call away, but acquiring the Grammy-nominated musician’s long-time residence in the prestigious Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills comes with a hefty price tag. The 32-year-old New Jersey native, currently engaged to childhood friend Brooke Sansone, has listed the modernist haven for just under $17 million, marking an impressive increase of around $8 million from its purchase price over six years ago in winter 2017.
Originally constructed and designed in the mid-1960s by renowned architect Rex Lotery, known as “The de Cordova House” due to its former owners Freddie de Cordova, a longtime producer of The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson’s tenure, and his socialite wife Janet, the property has undergone recent renovations. The residence boasts four bedrooms and five baths spread across 4,800 square feet of split-level living space, featuring terrazzo-clad rooms that seamlessly connect to courtyards offering captivating canyon and city lights views.
Situated on a ridge encompassing approximately half an acre of land, the stone, concrete, glass, and wood structure is enveloped in privacy by gates and towering hedges. A spacious motorcourt at the front can accommodate up to nine vehicles. Upon entering through massive double front doors, a foyer reveals a striking floating staircase leading to a grand living room adorned with built-in shelving and expansive walls of glass.
The main level encompasses additional highlights, including a cozy sitting area with a fireplace, a dining room adorned with a sculptural chandelier, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with wood cabinetry, marble countertops, an eat-in island, commercial-grade appliances, and a concealed refrigerator. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, steam shower, and sauna. Outdoors, the landscaped grounds showcase a swimming pool, sundeck, fire pit, and various inviting spaces for al fresco lounging and entertaining.
Charlie Puth rose to prominence at the age of 18 with YouTube videos featuring songs like “Someone Like You.” His debut album, “Nine Track Mind,” released in 2016, peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Renowned for hit singles such as “One Call Away,” “Marvin Gaye,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” and the theme song for Furious 7, “See You Again,” Puth has received three Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe nomination, and 9x-platinum certification in the U.S.
Besides the featured Beverly Hills property, currently exclusively available for viewing to prequalified clients through Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency, Puth also owns real estate in Studio City and Santa Barbara.
