(MCT)–Chris Brown, the singer whose Hollywood Hills house once drew the ire of neighbors for its graffiti-like artwork, has sold his hillside residence for $1.69 million.
Although the exterior was repainted before the home went on the market, several interior walls in the four-story home still bore cartoon-esque characters in the listing photos.
An elevator and staircases connect the vertical house, which includes an art studio, a loft, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,000 square feet of living space. A quirky open-concept bedroom features a red stand-alone tub and a glass shower in full view of the sleeping area.
The home’s front, the saltwater pool and the spa are illuminated by colored LED lights. There’s also an outdoor projection screen, stone waterfalls and fire pits.
Brown bought the house, which was built in 2008, two years ago for $1.55 million. He had listed it at $1.92 million.
He also sold a West Hollywood penthouse in an off-market deal in April for $1.6 million, the same price he paid in 2011. Noise from the penthouse brought complaints from other residents of the building when he lived there.
The three-bedroom, four-bathroom unit occupies 3,105 square feet on the entire top floor of the building, which was constructed in 2009. Features include a bar, an art studio and dual master suites.
The singer-dancer-actor won a Grammy for his R&B album “F.A.M.E.” He is working on his sixth studio album, “X,” and planning a tour.
